  • Can anyone enlighten me on what the effect would be if the UK government simply refused to comply with, or refused to enforce upon UK citizens, an EU law? The UK government enforces law in the UK by being able to enforce punishment on its citizens. How would the EU enforce laws that member states simply refuse to comply with?

  • Boris failing to do anything to clean up London's air quality would be one example.
    I seem to remember it was a UK based group that pressed for the EU to levy the fines, upon the UK Government, that it can impose. Google will find you the detail.

  • Voting rights for prisoners? Though not sure if that is officially under appeal and so non-compliance is not yet official.
