CONTRARY to the gushing approval by Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, Leave
voters will be contemptuous of Theresa May’s capitulation over the so-called
Brexit bill.
The EU will gleefully exploit such weakness; and the Conservative Party
is foolish not to see the parallels with their flawed negotiation back in
1972.
Mrs May says that we will leave the EU, including supposedly the Single
Market and Customs Union by the end of March 2019. Yet her non-transition
“transition” will lock us into EU rules for the duration.
So actually we will be in the SM, the CU, with free movement of migrants
and capital, and under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice until
at least 2021 and probably longer.
Meanwhile she intends to sign a new treaty with the EU to cover
“diplomacy, defence and security, and development”. So we will be locked into
the EU’s foreign, military and internal security policies in perpetuity.
Whatever else Mrs May calls it, this is not Leave. Yorks Post.
