Media mentionThis article has been mentioned by a media organization:
  • "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 kind you would read in a British tabloid. I wonder if Misplaced Pages is supposed to be dumbed-down in this way? 2A01:4B00:9004:EB00:85C6:3454:F264:B207 (talk) 19:36, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Regions and Cities voting Remain

"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"

This is factually incorrect as Monmouthshire, Vale of Glamorgan, Gwynedd and Ceredigion voted remain as did several cities other than London. 86.1.53.178 (talk) 17:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Source? Slatersteven (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
The problem is the word "region". The underlying assumed model is the Regions of England, with Wales treated as a tenth region. Nothing new there. Subdivisions of "regions" are not considered. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Remove "Inpact" section?

This section is unavoidably OR because the assertions in it, although cited, are subjectively selected. It seems to me that if the section is to stand, it must be based on npov and rs assessments which, imo, won't and can't exist before 2036 at the earliest, 2091 is if Rees-Mogg is correct.

I propose that we delete it. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 15:31, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

UNsure but agree we should not use any sources published within (say) 10 years of Brexit, as this should be a historical overview of its impacts. Slatersteven (talk) 15:34, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I know that there are many aspects of Brexit that are not yet clear, but even so, many people will want to know immediately what the impact is already. Therefore, I think we should leave this section for the time being and discuss it again once about three months have passed. LendingNext (talk) 15:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
