== Primacy ==
==Article length exceeds guidelines==


This is presented early on in the article:
This is certainly an interesting article, but is > 12,000 words. The ] states:
"Following Brexit, EU law and the Court of Justice of the European Union no longer have primacy over British laws."


The fact someone feels this needs to be asserted is troubling. The CJEU never had primacy over British law, and European Union law only had primacy as far as CJEU case law. The jurisdiction clauses in the treaty make this very clear, and supremacy is only a political assertion in a protocol. It really sounds like a childish understanding of the EU. The kind you would read in a British tabloid. I wonder if Misplaced Pages is supposed to be dumbed-down in this way? ] (]) 19:36, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
:A page of about 10,000 words takes between 30 and 40 minutes to read at average speed, which is close to the attention span of most readers. Understanding of standard texts at average reading speed is around 65%. At 10,000 words it may be beneficial to move some sections to other articles and replace them with summaries per ].


== Regions and Cities voting Remain ==
That said, it does go on to say...


''"The electorate voted to leave the EU with a 51.9% share of the vote, with all regions of England and Wales except London voting in favour of Brexit"''

::As someone uninvolved in this debate, arguably one could say that {{highlight|'''although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material.'''|#00FF00}} would be the applicable part of this guideline. Brexit was widely covered internationally and was a major event, so one could just as easily argue that this is one of the cases where the scope of the topic does justify the added material. The guideline says that 15,000 words should "almost certainly be divided or trimmed"; this article is not quite there yet. I am going to remove the tag for now, as this page is at 11,000 words, but I do agree some text would benefit from being condensed. ] (]) 18:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

  • "A bitter turf war is raging on the Brexit Misplaced Pages page". 2019-04-29. While Westminster remains mired in endless Brexit deadlock, over on the Brexit Misplaced Pages page things are even less amicable. Editors are parrying death threats, doxxing attempts and accusations of bias, as the crowdsourced epic has become the centre of a relentless tug-of-war over who gets to write the history of the UK as it happens.

Primacy

This is presented early on in the article: "Following Brexit, EU law and the Court of Justice of the European Union no longer have primacy over British laws."

The fact someone feels this needs to be asserted is troubling. The CJEU never had primacy over British law, and European Union law only had primacy as far as CJEU case law. The jurisdiction clauses in the treaty make this very clear, and supremacy is only a political assertion in a protocol. It really sounds like a childish understanding of the EU.

"The electorate voted to leave the EU with a 51.9% share of the vote, with all regions of England and Wales except London voting in favour of Brexit"
