re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Quote:
THE grip of unelected Euro judges over Britain was laid bare last night as research revealed the UK has lost 101 of 131 cases at the European Court of Justice.
The hated Luxembourg-based court overrules us 77 per cent of the time and has been even more resistant in recent years – with David Cameron losing 16 out of 20 cases.
Judges at the ECJ rule on European laws to ensure they are enforced equally across all 28 member states.
But the research by Brexit campaign group Vote Leave found rulings since 1973 have forced us to put up the price of beer, prolonged a ban on British beef, and slapped higher taxes on energy-saving products.
The scale of British defeats raised fears the ECJ will overrule the changes to Britain’s relationship with Brussels negotiated by David Cameron if the UK votes to remain - despite claims they are “legally binding”.
