Blocking A50 over eu nationals

[sal]

It'll be a good test to see how things are going to pan out, given that all 27 countries have to agree and the EU as well. All it takes is one country to say no and we could find that there will be no guarantees given to EU citizens here.

Let the trolling begin

I thought that the EU position was that it will be up to the individual states to determine the status of the UK citizens currently residing in them.

She was elected.

We don't have a President.

UK voters don’t elect a Prime Minister directly.
Voters select a Member of Parliament (MP) to represent their constituency. The MPs are from particular political parties and these parties decide on a leader.
Prime Ministers are officially appointed by the Queen, and stay in office as long as they can command the confidence of the House of Commons. This is usually defined as leading the party or coalition that has the majority of elected MPs.
There isn't a constitutional requirement for the Prime Minister to have led their party through a general election before they come into office, or to stay in office.

Proves my point. Thank you.

Funny isn't though that they can say that but everything else has to be unanimously agreed.

Not really. As sovereign nations, EU / EEA members decide their policy on immigration and residency for non-EEA citizens. The position is different for trade as the EEA is a single trading bloc in this respect.

But only after following basic rules.

Almost like they're making it up as they go along.

Specifically, what are they making up as they go along?

Are you an MEP, caused based on the above description, you're eminently qualified.

Specifically, we all negotiate as one, except on ongoing residency which is everyman for himself.
