Donald Tusk getting involved in the UK General Election is strange. Maybe he is missing the limelight now that his EU role has ended and he is so easily seen through back in his homeland – increasingly Eurosceptic Poland. His suggestion that Remainers should not give up is also peculiar – what they are calling for in Revoke no longer exists. The UK cannot simply return to how things were before Article 50 was actioned.
It is a former British diplomat who has thrown a cat among the Remainer pigeons by suggesting that if they think we can merely revoke Article 50 and return to the EU on the same terms as before this may be a ‘dangerous misunderstanding.’ Sir Peter Marshall, an expert on multilateral diplomacy, warned that the UK may not be able to simply retake its position within the bloc. He said “ The Remainer prospectus is palpably false. We are not so much led as left to believe that if we don’t like whatever deal may be available, or if we don’t like Brexit at all, we have the right to remain in the EU on the same basis as at present.”
Sir Peter claimed all we know for certain is we have the right to revoke the notification of our intention to withdraw. He added “The European Court of Justice says nothing about the rights of the other 27 Member States in relation to such revocation. This can scarcely be a matter of surprise. As they see it we have been an existential threat, or at best a monumental nuisance.” Sir Peter claimed if Article 50 was revoked “we simply have no idea what might await us by way of conditions and complexities at the hands of the EU”.
