O/T Democracy

Boris makes a plan that would see the UK refuse to appoint a commissioner, putting the EU in breach of its own legal duty for all 28 member states to be represented on its executive branch. He also said that if they tried to change the law to make it less than the 28 he would use his veto to stop it from happening. This would effectively stop the EU from working on anything that requires to be passed by the 28 EU countries so in effect it would bring them to a standstill.

No 10 believes the UK would be “disrupting” Brussels life to such a degree that member states will then make it clear they will refuse to grant an Article 50 extension – even if asked for.

A source said: “We will turn the pressure onto the EU to show how difficult it will be for them if the UK is still hanging around.”

The aim is to force an acceptable Brexit deal, but the source added: “If they won’t negotiate a deal, it would be ideal if they would kick us out.”

Nice one Boris.
