1. a prefix, meaning “behind,” “after,” “later,” “subsequent to,” “posterior to,” occurring originally in loanwords from Latin ( postscript), but now used freely in the formation of compound words ( post-Elizabethan; postfix; postgraduate; postorbital). Aren't we more accurately pre-Brexit? |
re: Post EU Referendum
Here's an interesting opinion piece from the Swiss:
Brexit delivers blow to Swiss EU hopes Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery. But it is doubtful if anyone in Switzerland is thanking the City and big bank spin doctors who have come up with the idea that London should seek a Swiss-style relationship with Europe once Brexit is fully consummated. |

re: Post EU Referendum
It's a good job we left the "dictatorship" in favour of good old British "democracy":
Brexit team: public and parliament will be kept in the dark Brexit minister David Davis went further, telling the House of Lords EU select committee that because the government did not want to give away its negotiating position he “may not be able to tell [parliament] everything” – even in private hearings: I can entirely see accountability after the event, that’s very clear. [But] in advance, I don’t think it’s possible for parliamentarians to micro-manage the process and wouldn’t give us an optimum outcome for the country. |

Or perhaps more accurately of the EU where they make the decisions & the member states have to accept them whether they like it or not? :)

Sometimes the decisions made are not that great and sometimes many people don't agree with them. But they should just suck it up and shut up, no? |

Majority decisions. Just like the referendum.

There is also the European Parliament involved - even on topics where member states have no veto. The importance of the parliament is definitely higher in the EU at the moment than in the UK or Germany where the government makes momentous (!!) decisions without consulting the parliament.
