    UK first - Poland next

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-voting-rights

    "The development will prove highly awkward for Theresa May, who will be in Warsaw for a UK-Poland summit on Thursday, at which she hopes to push forward her vision of a post-Brexit trading relationship with the rest of Europe."

      This has nothing to do with BREXT

        Agreed. However I believed responses might well contain the Brexit word. And Brexit would affect the UK view on this.

        If a mod wants to move it to general I would understand.

        Though I would not be pleased if I then got a ban for bringing the Brexit word into general.....

          Things didn't go so well last time German eyes turned towards Poland...

          But in that article there was a line about the EU not meddling in the internal affairs of a country.

          So should the EU be able to overrule a countries government or not?

          Can they kick Poland out of the EU?

            Although I hate the EU, they did seem to be attempting to save Poland from a dictatorship.

            I wish the EU had supported Catalonia.....

              From the BBC;

              "The disciplinary measures, called Article 7, could lead to the suspension of Poland's voting rights at EU summits, but Hungary has said it would block such a move, that requires the approval of all member states."

              So, that'll be Article 7 off to the QMV chopping block next then - shall we make a placeholder thread for it?

                Fair play to ze Germans. Couldn't take Europe by force (on either occasion) so are doing it by red tape.

                  Ditch the thickos first and then the nutjobs. Sensible steps for a stronger Europe.
