Abstract

With the UK preparing to hold a general election on 12 December, the EU might be tempted to consider that since no progress on Brexit is likely to be made until then, it can temporarily turn its attention away from the UK to focus on other pressing matters. However, given the potential of a political shift in the UK, a reversal of their position on Brexit and another Scottish independence referendum, the EU should not take their eyes off the ball. It would be unwise for the EU not to use the coming weeks to prepare for the possible outcomes of the elections.
