The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK

There is a long series of meetings at the start of every Parliamentary election cycle in which the Council and the Commission and Parliament decide what they will legislate on. It is called the Strategic Agwnda. Look it up.
It would be a complete waste of time if OTHER THAN EMERGENCY MEASURES, the Commission sprang new legislation onto the Council because chances are the Council would reject it, having not considered it beforehand.

The commission works through the list of issues and priorities laid out in the strategic agenda during the 5 year period.
The Council , other than emergencies, sets the rough order of issues to be dealt with.
The commission then drafts legislation for further consideration and it begins its journey throughParliament,each national government and finally a vote in all three elected bodies. The commission does not vote. On any legislation.

That is fact.

However I don't really care if you ( or Vinny or anyone) believes it. The UK doesn't belong to the EU anymore so what you and he believe is pointless and it is a waste of time discussing it.

Poll from 2015.

And methodology not discussed.

I'm just saying, we don't really know either way unless they hold a referendum.
Polls can be wrong.
And they don't take into account shy voters.

2015 was 7 years ago.
Has there been a more recent poll showing the same result?

Times change, views change, continually.
Politics is always in flux.

And yes, before you say it, it will one day be necessary for the next generation to vote on whether or not to be independent from the EU or a member of it.

Even if before that happens a poll comes out with 86% opposed to rejoining.

I am a democrat.

I believe in voting.

Obviously the Commission talk to the Council members about the general direction of the EU, but the point is that the Commission proposes the laws - not the Council. This is normally the function of the Executive. You wouldn't get a UK govt asking the Civil Service to propose a few laws for example. And the EU Commission has control of the EU's spending, which again is the function of the Executive. The Commission can use members' budgetary contributions to buy off Council members who don't like what they they're doing. It was also the Commission that conducted all the negotiations on Brexit - the Council was very much in the background and was basically never heard from publicly.

To be fair that's exactly what Theresa May did when she handed over our negotiations to the EU fanatic and civil servant Olly Robbins who negotiated a form of BRINO that left the UK, as Guy Verhofstadt triumphantly said "relegated the UK to the status of a colony - exactly where we want them".
