Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
The European Commission can do no more than aspire. The power to accept or reject its aspirations lies in the hands of member states, as the second link makes clear. Large-scale policy reform is always subject to veto by even a single demurring state. There are massive stresses and strains within the eurozone. The Commission can point to them and suggest ways out. But the Commission can force no major policy adjustments on unwilling member states, and, to suggest otherwise, as neither of those links actually do as it happens, is just silly scaremongering.
