A TORY Remainer has warned of “serious social unrest” if Britain held onto “bits” of the EU such as the European Court of Justice (ECJ), after proclaiming “Brexit means Brexit”. By AJAY NAIR.
Robert Halfon said remaining under the jurisdiction of the ECJ even
through a transition period could lead to Brexit voters feeling democracy was being
“subverted”.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Westminster
Hour, the former Education Secretary
insisted “leave means leave”.
He said: “I voted Remain because I believe that the EU was an alliance of
democracies and I believe we should support an alliance of
democracies.
“However, I’ve firmly come to the view that the public voted to leave,
they didn’t vote to be part of bits of it and I think that actually, leave means
leave or dare I say it – Brexit means Brexit.
