re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
*Sigh* I was waiting for this one....
This is how the European Council works! In a number of areas, including, in this case, social security, unanimity is required to pass a vote. Malta has as much sway as Germany in these cases.
The UK exercised the rights of veto to prevent stronger anti dumping tariffs for chinese steel for example. The government pretty much threw the european steel industry under the bus.
