The UK should be able to unilaterally cancel its withdrawal from the EU, according to a top European law officer.

The non-binding opinion was delivered by an advocate general of the European Court of Justice.

While the advocate general's opinions are not binding, the court tends to follow them in the majority of its final rulings.


Given that there's a coalition of groups trying to stop brexit, such that it will almost assuredly not get the votes it needs in Parliament, people were ramping up for a "hard brexit" (no deal) because that was presumed to be the only other option. With this new choice on the table, I think the likelihood of the deal getting passed is basically zero, because the only way to cancel it will be to reject the deal.

The UK government is cancer, fuck them and fuck the EU. The EU is no better than a tank filled with nerve agents.

This is just one reason why the EU is awful. Basically one guy runs the judiciary branch in Europe.

As much as people hate on America the EU is 1000x worse.

Brexit will happen unless the UK government decides democracy is dead. Looking like a soft Brexit at this point but still.

The EU doesn't need the UK. The UK, however, absolutely is realizing how much they would be fucked on every level if they left the EU. Their an island nation with little to no resources that would find itself getting fucked over repeatedly if the hard Brexit happened.

And it shouldn't be shocking that they can't get their act together. When your whole "leave" strategy revolves around the far left and far right coming together to vote "leave", but then have to work together to develop some kind of resolution on what that actually means, it would never work. There's a reason why this whole idea was stupid to begin with.

The UK is the third largest contributor to their budget, for one. It also benefits them to make leaving so politically social that no other country tries it.

Billions of pounds per year and somewhere to send Germany's migrant overflow.

The UK needs to go to war over this or forever stow their pride as they lacked the guts to properly declare their independence.

UK would literally collapse if not for the EU. What on Earth does the UK have to offer other nations in trade negotiations, for example? They have no power.

Look at that mass change in privacy agreements earlier this year, really helped that the EU had some numbers to enforce that on pretty much every site.
