I wouldn't think so, I was more thinking about what rules are we going to set up. What about expats living in the eu, who will have a right to work here or learn here? What about eu people that are here now, will they have to leave.
Many questions for those parties so chosen in this referdum to answer, i wonder if any one has thought of that sort of thing?

I'm pretty sure they are voted in, not by general voting but by voting within the parliament itself. The council is a seperate function from the commision.
The laws propsed are often modified and compromised long before they arrive for open voting by the parliament. Much like many other governments, no one would propose a law they knew would be voted down. Comprises are sought gained and traded off, such is politics. Isn't politics the art of compromise.
