Yes, it was clear back in 2015 that article 50 was flawed and had no provision for displaced nationals. That and the aspect that no single MEP has spoke out about that flaw and done anything about it for any future use, even if too late for current utilisation is a sad inditement upon an institution that trumpets citizen rights.
That said, I still in our current useless political climate do not see the UK not doing the right thing about displaced nationals in the UK. But equally, wished article 50 was not flawed in a way that in effect has rendered displaced nationals as negotiation pawns. That's unfair, however you look at it.
FWIW I lobbied several MEP's and EU leaders about this flaw in article 50 back in 2015 and in 2016, and all I got was ignored and no MEP or EU leader wanted to address the issue and I came away feeling that deep down, they like the current flaw as any public fallout can be laid upon those utilising article 50. Which is even more worrying.
