Former Top EU Lawyer Says Article 50 Is Not Entirely Final

Jean-Claude Piris, a lawyer who oversaw the insertion of Article 50 into the Lisbon Treaty, says the wording makes it less final than some might suggest. Does Brexit still definitely mean Brexit?

we voted to leave which was democracy whatever the outcome was. even if your a remain voter and want democracy accept the outcome and unite. if somehow the eu stops us leaving and remainers are happy with the democratic vote being ignored is a disgrace to this country.

I'm not sure why this is disliked, he's pretty matter of fact with how he speaks. It's just information.

ignore this jargon and leave,   it's typical legal double talk.

Why don't they understand - if we don't want in the EU that's the end of it. We're Great Britain not great EU. If any country wants to leave they should be allowed - why are we allowing old men to tell countries what they can and cannot do

HAHAHAHA JUST WAIT TILL THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE EU LEAVE

He is right the UK has no trade agreements with anyone they don't even have enough trade negotiators to handle the process. It will take time and money to train them and even then countries around the world are going to put a small country like the UK behind big trading blocks like the EU when they negotiate trade deal. Times are going to get tough over the next decade.

We want to leave the single market and join THE WORLD MARKET !
