Has he had an effect?

funny its difficult to find a specific "sovereignty will be protected under the EU" ...

You'll find the answer to be no

under the USSR however ... its explicitly in the constitution

So?

If you could for example say something, then instantly how no associations at all. Then that is the only time, your public persona would not be a factor

Article 81. The sovereign rights of Union Republics shall be safeguarded by the USSR.

So? @wacka

Guy is an eu politician.

So? @Joshu

He isn't regular guy Guy

so even the USSR is more free than the EU 😛

Jeremy Corbyn is a politician.

at least on paper

Your point?

Point being, he can say things in a personal capacity and still follow other rules.

When Jeremy Corbyn speaks anywhere, it will be "Corbyn, leader of the labour party"

Jeremy Corbyn wants Brexit, his party really doesn't.

He can still voice his opinions and follow the policy of his party

yeah if BoJo went to a massive group of EC members or MEPs and talked about how to get Britain out... would that be ok?

Yes @wacka

if he talked them into working against the EU

well

he cant

you know why?

Did anyone see their Cringe Compilation of a conference.

because as PM he is a member of teh EC .. and legally cannot say anything bad about the EU

Personal opinion != policy.

So? @wacka

He can still discuss tactics to get the UK out of the EU @wacka

so the EU is saying its wrong

not really... if he's saying anything negative about the EU he's not

You do realise you can talk strategy without talking negative about something

Also, if that actually went to the EU court of human rights, then it would be overturned

As it inevitably would

Weez I'm not arguing the semantic. I'm arguing the reality. If any politician campaigned in any foreign country against that country, that would be a foreign politician meddling in another country.

You don't cease being a politician just because you say its a personal capacity. I'm not saying the EU is speaking through Guy when he campaigned for the lib dems. I'm saying a foreign politician, Guy campaigned against the referendum result.

It isn't about the EU speaking through him

Did he even 'campaign'?

I don't think I can even agree to that.

Yes

He promoted them
