For those who are interested here's Article 218 which states at the end that the European Parliament has to give it's consent to the final agreement.
|
3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period. The 27 are getting impatient. |

Any request for an extension, must be unanimously approved by the European Council (27 states).

At this point most members of the EU want the British, English out. They're nothing but trouble. But the consensus is that it's a bad thing but not the end of the world. Certainly not the end of the EU.
I suspect they'll protect the Irish. The English will cut the country adrift. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will have to decide whether they attach themselves to the sinking ship of Brexit. Or Englexit. I'm afraid the efforts of the Lib Dems and the vacuous Labour Party won't save England. |

Leave and take the conseuences, stay and next time they try bullying tactics, Malta or one the smallest members just asks "So what are you going to do ? Leave !!!!!" Ultimate checkmate. |

Indeed. It appears to have been taken as fact that Scotland and NI voted to leave. It is quoted by remainers and especially the SNP to reinforce their narrative. The voters in Scotland and NI said remain when asked whether the UK should leave the EU. They have never been asked if they think an independent Scotland or NI should leave the EU. Who knows what the results would be. BV |

It was not a separate vote in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England it was a UK (including NI) vote and it is the UK (including NI) that is a member of the EU, NOT the individual countries. |
I wonder sometimes if England had a vote in any Indyref re Scotland what the result would be. Still not sure why UK want's to keep Scotland in the mix.

Something to do with oil,gas and electricity?

So it's leccy and fish. |
Scottish fishing industry wants to leave EU. Funny the SNP seems to ignore that fact. |
But salmon and shellfish exporters would be ruined.
|
So it's leccy and fish. As for fish, as repeatedly recently pointed out, the majority of the licences are held by Spanish and Dutch companies who land their catches in Europe - and will continue to do if Scotland stays in the EU. Assuming they are able to solve the problem of a “hard border” between Scotland and England to Brussels’ satisfaction..... |

Assuming they are able to solve the problem of a “hard border” between Scotland and England to Brussels’ satisfaction..... As for electricity, I’m sure a reasonable price could be agreed upon. I’m sure that Scotland would be willing to discuss selling water to England as well. You should probably start planning for that now, only 20 or so years until English taps start running dry. |
