Brexit in name only
Additional Information:
Brino: “Brexit in name only”. Coinage devised by Jacob Rees-Mogg, chair of the European Research Group of Conservative MPs. In an interview in January 2018 he declared: “If everything is delayed for two years and then there’s high alignment you will find that by 2022 no one will have noticed any difference from having left. Then what will be the point of voting for the party that’s implemented it. I’m against ‘Brino’.” [The Independent, Feb 2018]
Approval Status: Pending Investigation
