Before a bill is made act of law in the UK it must get royal assent.

Technically speaking the UK is not in the EU. And while technically (I think, it’s not really clear) the royal assent can be denied in practice the last time a bill was refused was over 300 years ago. The royal assent is effectively a formality.

  And Im still not over that, many use EU and Europe interchangeably though.
