[edit] Hmm
It is my understanding that the ECJ did not rule that the House of Lords should strike down the offending legislation, but that instead they should 'disapply' it, ie. ignore its application. This is an important distinction.

[edit] Free money
"Other parties disagree that this would be difficult and the reasons for not leaving are due to the blatant self-interest that the politicians involved display. This is the so-called EU 'gravy train' whereby polticians get money for anything they wish from free lunches to free travel for their families.[citation needed]"
I rather doubt that politicians really can "get money for anything they wish", and the fact there's no citation for this makes me even more suspicious. The issue of polticians' self interest as an impediment to leaving the EU already been raised in the preceeding sentence, so this bit really should be excised IMO.

Ollieollieollie claims to have tried to remove the above line; edit appears to have restored it, however. Have undone edit, returning page to previous text; ie missing the un sourced, inapproporiately phrased text re the "eu gravy train".
