The thing about the WTO is that everyone knows that 'you block mine, I veto everyone else's '.........
True, but the length of time it takes most WTO deals to be agreed suggests it isn't particularly straightforward nonetheless.
Really just googled it Bruce massive organisation bigger than the EU just trade no polictical allegencies just trade?
Of course we are not allowed as an individual country to start trading as we are still tied to the EU which is why the Remoaners can not see the potential trade open to us on leaving notice the EU can decide to dip in to it!
Yet control our deals with its Polictical union!
Not while we are being dictated too by Brussels Bruce!
Each trade deal the WTO conducts takes on average 28 months to sign-off on. Nowt to do with Brussels, but it does require quite a diplomatic approach, so I'm glad we haven't been on an anti-charm offensive in recent months as those good relationships will be crucial
I'm sure Boris is perfectly up to the job of not rubbing anyone up the wrong way.
It's Liam Fox who is dealing wit the WTO ATM Bruce!Each trade deal the WTO conducts takes on average 28 months to sign-off on.

Folks overseas can read our newspapers and watch our television just as well as we can. What's said here might be intended for a British audience, but it's generally consumed by a global one.
Boris is tied up with Syria Bruce which TBH is a lot more tragic than the EU Brexit question!

That is what happens when all 27 have to say yes but do not, the agreement goes out of the window. This is one of the points for me why the EU needs to get grip and why we should out.

Not just the 27, Belgium cannot agree anything unless each of it's regional parliaments agrees first.....

So the EU loses out, the other countries in the Eu lose out and Canada lose out. I see it all now that is what the remainers were talking of to save the economy.
