" the Govern­­ment will refuse to nominate a commissioner for the EU Commission. That, coupled with the PM’s refusal to extend, means the EU Commission will not be legally constituted on November 1 because of Article 17 of the Treaty of the European Union."

nowI just have to read article 17... hang on....

can't we just not follow the rules of the EU, like usually membership-based clubs kick you out when you piss about

High iq

Did you guys know that when you go to prison for breaking the law you're actually being sent to a concentration camp?

Of course

Unless you're white then it's a holiday basically

White men commit suicide mostly because the privilege is too much to handle

ok so it would violate this one first.. art 17 -(4)
"4. The Commission appointed between the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon and 31 October 2014, shall consist of one national of each Member State, including its President and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy who shall be one of its Vice-Presidents."

mhm, if the new commission cant be sworn in, doesnt the old one stay on?

if the commission doesnt contain someone from the UK including the PM the the commission doesnt comply with the treaty of the EU

no that would contraveen the one that says they can only be in for 5yrs

art 17 (3)
3. The Commission's term of office shall be five years.

sitting period does not include interim periods between commisions though

and we're currently in such a period

also, idk even know if boris can refuse to name a commisioner

thats an interesting one - "A member of the Commission shall resign if the President so requests."

I mean, all he has to do is not

and they say the EU is not a dictatorship 😛

Like they can't force a name out of his mouth

its his cabinet? why should he not be able to fire them?

funny how it doesnt say fire them....

just they have to "resign"

kind of a contradiction of terms

Stop with the Todd Howard's memes

They're depressing!

Make him stop

"Im not firing you, youre resigning" .. "quit hitting yourself"

meh, if the EU cant issue an extension then britain leaves

no biggy

I prefer my hot pockets Yog'Sothoth flavored

Honestly the UK is making a fool of itself with this sham of a Brexit

How many weeks have the yellow vest protests been going?

Like... For quite a while now xD
