The EU paves the way....

...for Spain to take over the island of Gibraltar

Yesterday the EU parliament voted to recognise the Island of Gibraltar as a "Colony" of Britain. Despite its recognition as 100% part of the UK. This paves the way for Spain to take control of the Island and the vote by the EU parliament was warmly welcomed by the Spanish Government.

Is this really way we want to stay in the EU to see the break up of the UK?

Do you think that this would have happened if Brexit wasn't in process?

Gibraltar isn't an "Island".

OK it's a Rock

No I don't think it would. What we are seeing now is a move by the EU away from the liberalisation that the UK brought to the table. This was predicted by several documents available online with a google search "EU future after Brexit". Many of these were written just after the 2016 referendum by the Centre for European Reform, etc. and their predictions of the future direction of the EU post Brexit are starting to come true. one article "What Future for the EU after Brexit" by Paul De Grauwe states that the globalisation view of the EU is the root of its current problems in that its globalisation polices hurt the very people the EU was intended to protect, i.e. it favours the larger wealthier countries in the EU whilst its current financial restrictions punish the less wealthy counties in the EU.

Post Brexit the EU will be driven to be of more federalist protectionist inward looking organisation. It's defence policy is likely to be driven by Germany, a country that is extremely unwilling to provide protection forces outside of the EU. The only country in the EU, post Brexit, with a permanent seat on the UN Security Council will be France.

What you are seeing is a block of countries looking after their own interests, just as Britain alone will look after its own interests.

With the two protagonists no longer in the same block, the EU will promote the interests of the one that still is.

Not that difficult to understand.

By the way, what’s with posting an OP without any link to a source? If you can get rock/island so wrong, who’s to say you aren’t just making the rest up as well?

So, let’s see how much you can get wrong in a single post.

Island? Nope. Rock.

EU Parliament? Nope. Committee.

Voted to recognise the island? Nope. Rock.

Voted to recognise as a colony? Nope. Just a footnote to a draft law and makes no legal difference.

100% part of UK? Debatable. And by that I don’t mean their right to be considered part of the U.K., but the “100%” is debatable, they have no representation in Westminster.

Paves the way? Nope. Draft law only.

Stay in the EU to see the breakup of the UK? Nope, the draft law is only relevant in the case of No Deal.

Draft laws have an uncanny habit of becoming law. So you believe that this is a good positive thing that the EU proposes the break up of the UK.

Given the lies in your first post, I don’t think you’re in any position to make a statement that the draft law “proposes the break up of the UK “
