This isn't entirely true. The mooted common defence policy, again if you do some reading, is very very different to a Federal army.

Also, any treaty that forced all member states to sign up to an EU Army system would never pass. Yes, on something as sensitive as eliminating member states independent armed forces, there would be vetos, and it would need to be 100% agreed, at least to implement it as a EU wide policy. To say otherwise is unrealistic, fantasy and fearmongering.

I assume you're referring to the Lisbon treaty, the facts of which have been massively abused by various influencers for the usual ad clicks and follows.

Main points being

• The UK also doesn’t have to participate in EU legislation relating to justice and home affairs, but can choose to opt-in if it wants to.

• On issues that require unanimity, it’s the case that simply abstaining from a vote does not stop it passing (the Lisbon Treaty did not change this), but states can still veto by voting against.

• The UK still has an opt out on the Euro

• Nowhere in the Lisbon treaty is an 'EU Army' or 'Federal Army' mentioned.

To add, given the significant amount of grief this entire process has caused politics and politicians, if you really believe that a UK govt would simply go 'Yeah, alright, let's do it without telling anyone', surely you're mad. Or a little too partisan, at least on this particular issue.

The public feeling on retaining our own identity, let alone currency/army, would be loud and challenging. Whoever passed those little doozys without so much as a thought to due process would be voted out straightaway. It would be political suicide.

Well their age group drove Brexit. What does that tell us?

She did no more and no less than her constitutional duty. She followed the advice given to her, as by convention she must, and it is that advice alone that has been determined as illegal.

So I don't believe she is involved in any way.

Oh there are enough people who think he is doing the right thing in "just getting on with it" for it to be a politically valid policy. Moral, no. Wise, questionable. It's as though the spectre of Trump has infected the Tory party.

It makes better sense for the Tories to leave Johnson in post than for Labour to leave Corbyn in his. Labour will never win an election with Corbyn as their leader.

f*** everyone who doesn’t respect the vote to leave. f*** you and damn you to hell.
