So you negotiate with your hands tied behind your back......
Well the sensible thing would be to make sure you wernt in a position of weakness in the first place. Many folk pointed out ages ago that the aces were all held by the EU, but unfortunately enough people swallowed the "They have got more more to lose than us" and "The easiest trade deal in history." crap.
It was wrong then, it is still wrong now, but still the mantra stays.
