“It’s going to get very hard," said Rob Ford, professor of politics at Manchester University. "If you can’t push through a minor change in National Insurance that annoys white van man, then how are you going to push through a massive treaty reorganization? We’re going to butt up against 27 governments that don’t do what we want them to do."
