Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Emlynsqueakyvoice]

She will either be there or not - the deal is a very poor one, lets see what unfolds........
I feel she will not be overthrown...... there are so many scenarios who ever is in power the EU will have to back down or we have stalemate......

The EU will have to back down? Why the EU? Why should they care about an insignificant ex member (after 29 March)? They won’t budge. @Joey66, have the last two years taught you nothing? We will count for nothing in the eyes of the world once we leave the EU, 5th biggest economy in the world or not. Our bargaining power will be gone. Still, the Brexiteers will trot out lines about free trade with the likes of Ceylon and Persia..

Winston Churchill would have sorted this in a week....... we have had a remain PM 75% of the cabinet remain ... and you wonder why the negotiations have been an ease for the EU .... nothing may change , but she is a poor negotiator - end of.....

You voted to leave, and her deal would see Britain leave. I don't believe there was an option on the form for how you wanted to leave, so she has fulfilled the wishes of the 17 million or however many people that voted for this.

Insignificant? The largest single buyer of goods from the EU is insignificant? we spend £318b a year on buying goods from the EU. Good luck on trying to fill that void in the EU budget!

Grow a pair... i've always been told in business that the BUYER holds all the power.

I’m amazed that across the nation the hard Brexit gang get to stamp their feet and have suddenly decided that everyone voted for a no deal Brexit even though we can produce an array of quotes from leading Brexiteers saying a whole array of things .

Lost count of the amount of simplistic analogies used by leavers, pretty much proves they didn't have a jar what they were actually voting for

You're still going to buy the goods, so that's a silly argument.

But we don't have to buy from the EU... we can create our own trade deals with the rest of the world.

This was posted in the context of our current position in the EU and our future position on the outside looking in. The BUYER, the EU, will have far more buying power as a bloc than the UK. That’s a fact, as is the fact that the onus is not on the EU to change their negotiating position. It is the UK who have messed this up as they have no solution to the border issue. They have had no answer to this problem since they created it.

A couple of things though in business two things that don’t apply here apply . If you walk away in business or a negotiation in most cases the status quo remains doesn’t it , that simply isn’t the case in this so it’s hard to compare .secondly it’s not like the government control all of the purchasing it’s a fluid situation so they can stop it , it can be influenced by tariffs and the like but it’s not as simple as we can stop that trade .

Also we sell to the EU so clearly that has to be factored into as well , it’s not our sales in a vacuum.

Oh yes. Don't buy BMW's when you can buy one of those little Indian Tata motors.

so you're saying the EU need us to buy BMW's?...

Interesting

No, I'm saying that £318bn worth of goods cannot be easily replaced. People buy BMW's because they like them, similarly with French wine, Irish butter, Spanish fruit etc. If chlorinated chicken is your bag then you've hit the jackpot.

Tata own Jaguar Land Rover mate. Just saying like.

That is wholly irrelevant

It’s like this rules we need to leave the EU to get rid of so far it seems to be food safety and health & safety that are top of that list . No wonder the Tory hard right are all over it
