After untold time, money, effort and history put into joining Europe, you’d have thought that tearing the whole thing down would have required best of three votes to exit, or a supermajority, or a 12 month cooldown followed by a deciding second vote, or an “time apart” period before ending the relationship.
Instead all it took was some politicking and a vote and it’s over. Seems a huge flaw in the planning of joining Europe in the first place. I suppose they didn't anticipate brexit as a real possibility.
