    I wonder if it has to do with National psyche? England has not been invaded and conquered since 1066. Many have tried (Spain, France, Germany) and failed. The continent, however, has had countries overrun and regimes deposed with regularity. The continent is used to having someone else run their affairs. England is not.

      They'll apply if England wants to trade with the EU.

        Other non EU countries trade with the EU. I doubt they pay much attention to what comes out of Brussels.

                  I'm sure Hillary will see to all of that on her second day in office.

                    No, the people will try to elect Trump, and Obama will just decide to declare and stay in office, basically pulling a Julius Caesar. After all, Rome was in an endless war at the time the Republic fell.

                        So, question. Why would the EU parliament invite the head of the UK independence party to speak?

                              Scotland still might veto this whole thing. The parliament still have to give their permission and considering 62% of the country voted to remain in the EU I can't imagine they'll give it willingly. More than likely as a concession for Scotland giving its OK the country will either
                              1) Break away entirely from the UK and ask the EU to keep them or
                              2) Get a referendum to do the above.

                              Northern Ireland doesn't have the same rights as Scotland (go figure) and the vote was closer (56-44) so it isn't clear if they would want to break away from the UK or not.

                                The Labour Party just passed a motion of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn 172-40. He says he will not resign and "betray the people" who elected him. He was elected with 60% of the vote.




                                Meanwhile, the EU wants England the GTFO now.

                                The European Parliament called on Britain on Tuesday to hurry up and leave the European Union after a stormy and ill-tempered debate.

                                A majority of lawmakers voted in an emergency session to approve a nonbinding resolution that asks Britain to set the clock ticking “as soon as possible” on a legal process that could lead to a withdrawal from the European Union in two years. (An earlier draft of the resolution had called on Britain to invoke the legal process “immediately.”)
                                In contrast, lawmakers gave a standing ovation for Alyn Smith, a member of the European Parliament from Scotland, which voted overwhelmingly to stay in the European Union. “We will need cool heads and warm hearts, but please remember this: Scotland did not let you down,” Mr. Smith said to cheers and applause. “Do not let Scotland down now.”
