It is that simple.. we leave we trade we’ll be fine
5 December, 2016 at 11:02 pm #1011217you hope, Pete!
Everybody trades – even Zimbabwe.
If you’re right, then no problem is there? Any attempt to revers Brexit will fail miserably.
If you’re not right, especially if you’re bigtime not right..then people will prefer to live in poverty and sink to the level of Franco’s Spain, or not…If we are a democracy, they’ll make the decisoon.
6 December, 2016 at 11:33 am #1011230I am right and I really don’t believe anyone is still prophesising poverty nothing is going to massively change German cars MIGHT cost more..who cares
6 December, 2016 at 2:26 pm #1011234If you’re right, then there’s no problem.
I wouldn’t be so certain if I were you, though.
It all depends on the terms of trade, not on trade. There is more to trade than cars.
Everything I read spells trouble at the moment – if Article 50 is revoked in march, then tehre is six months before negotiations proper can begin. They have to be completed by the autumn of 2018 to get through the EU’s 27 parliaments, and that is going to be a very, very tall order.
If we leave without a deal, then we have to trade under WTO (world Trade Oragnaisation) rules and they will put us at a severe disadvantage.
Denmark, the UK’s biggest ally, is now coming down against giving the UK a fair deal. It’s not in Danish interests. Like others in the EU, they want teh goodies that the UK is giving up.
many a slip (eg a le pen victory in France, whihc has become distinctly possible now), so we’ll see. Politics has become extremely interesting again, after 25 years of torpor

The most important thing is food, which we don’t have to buy from Europe. I’m sure Australian and New Zealand farmers would be interested in increacing production for export, and being less reliant on trade relationships with China.

I would prefer EFTA membership of all the Brexit options, which would still give us membership to the single market (at a reduced cost), access to trade deals that the EFTA already has (which the EU members don’t), and the ability to make our own deals.

8 December, 2016 at 7:56 pm #1011305Another straw n the wind today wiht the Seaford by-election,. Unlike Richnmond and Witney, this is a strong Brexit seat.
I can’t imagine the Tories being defeated here, but Labour is under pressure for the second place, and the result is important for them and for UKIP.
Sleaford may be a bad poll for Labour. They duck the issue of the EU – saying it’s not important compared with the NHS – but Labour people are not stupid. They are angry with Labour for not taking up Brexit and may turn to UKIP; or a minority of people dislike Labour because it doesn’t oppose brexit, and may well turn to the LibDems.
Corbyn has been playing both sides of the street, and may find that both sides turn on him. The results could be significant, expecially for UKIP’s ability to survive being victorious in the referendum? We’ll see.
p.s. the NHS has to be paid for, and Brexit is likely to be a big factor in hurtng the UK economy (and our standards of living), making it more difficult to pay for the NHS.
