I would still have utter contempt for “ever closer union” but a veto will stop that. However, Mrs Seph says you can’t be sure that a future British government wouldn’t go full tonto on a federal Europe. Careful consideration would have to be given on the political lie of the land in the UK.
Btw, I’m in favour of ending devolution in its present form. It’s divisive and overlays cost on the poor people of Scotland and Wales. I’d keep NI as the exception given the likelihood of a future Border Poll for unification of the island. That’ll bring the guns back out. Whether we’re in the EU or not, the EU would stir that pot.
