The EU was aware of that and had acknowledged the need for a different tier for us and perhaps others.
We weren't going to be kicked out. That'd require a unanimous vote which wouldn't happen.
As with everything else involved in the EU all of that stuff involves a bunch of bureaucracy. It's an inefficient pain in the backside but it does help prevent unpredictability.
Good grief. In the space of a week I've gone from devoutly looking to leave to actually defending the EU. I've been assimilated.
