No problem, China & India will have trade relations with the EU.
We will buy their goods from the EU (Ireland) which cuts out huge transport costs and giving China & India something for nothing ;) :D :p:
Wasn't one of the reasons for leaving so that we are able to strike our own trade agreements with the major economies....?

On our terms, not theirs.

And of course, Ireland, being on the doorstep and speaking the same language, must have advantages for a large corporation to develop a nice import/export business between the EU and UK . . if the EU has what we need, why go to China?

Good for the UK, good for Ireland and the EU . . done deal, no need to thank me :p:

UK = 2.25% of the world GDP, EU = 16.25% of the world GDP.

Bigger means better deals...

That sort of logic explains why you think Brexit is a good thing... ;)

No, you can't put that to bed! That's exactly what you want to do to take peoples' minds away to the advantages of Brexit!

With that one post, you have given the game away!

The neww trade deal we will be advantageous to the UK. We would not sign it otherwise. Unless Corbyn was in charge, of course :D

Happy Brexit day everybody ! You know, you're right, nothings changed ;).

If Bozza ever does get Brino delivered, we'll just be paying the same with no benefits or influence or trade. So that's something to look forward to !

Personally I am quite clear in my mind who is responsible for Brexit not being delivered last night, and it isn’t Boris Johnson.

I am hoping for a clear Tory majority next month, the WAB passed into law at double quick time, and the UK out of the EU as early as possible (though I accept the Christmas holidays might mean this is not until early to mid January, there’s no reason for it to take until the 31st).

The WAB is agreed with the EU, the Parliament that planned to obfuscate and amend it into oblivion is finally gone. Anyone who actually wants us out of the EU need only vote for their local Tory to make this happen.

The WAB isn't Brexit though is it ? Economically it will leave us poorer. I genuinely don't know how anyone can think its a good deal - and i don't think many Brexiters do either. Logic has gone out of the window in the bid to claim 'we won'. Just seems to be a vehicle leave Bozza as PM which is all important (to him anyway). The damage done to the country will be there long after he's gone.

The WAB is not a deal. Any deal with the EU for future trade etc can only start to be negotiated after the WAB has passed.

No WAB = No Deal. Get your logic around that.

When are people finally going to get it.:mad:
Whatever version of the WA you're talking about, is NOT an ongoing deal. It is a "transitional, unambiguously limited in time" arrangement. Brexit still happens at the end of next year. It is NOT a deal in the way that Remainers use the term "deal". Never has been, never could be. Article 50 rules that out.


A typical example was a while ago(can't track down the links etc), where a Remainer stated that Leave supporters had incorrectly claimed that getting a deal would be easy. We're NOT at that stage of even beginning to negotiate one. Misleading as usual.

That's the worst part, the difficult bit is yet to come. The 'transitional arrangement', if you like to call that, is the easy bit.

Getting a deal is not easy as you need to get the WAB done first and that's not proving easy!

You don't need to do anything first. Any WA is optional. According to Article 50, it is up to the EU to try and negotiate one.

About article 50
Article 50 sets out the process for a member state to leave the EU. It is up to the country in question to withdraw “in accordance with its own constitutional requirements”. Once triggered, article 50 allows for two years of negotiations, although this can be extended unanimously by the European Council.
Although the aim is to come to a deal, it is also possible there is no agreement at all.
Two agreements
The EU and the UK have two years to negotiate a withdrawal agreement setting out the arrangements for how the country will leave the Union, while “taking account of the framework of the future relationship with the Union”. The arrangements setting out the framework for future relations will be part of a separate agreement, which could take considerably longer to negotiate.
Article 50.2
Quote:
A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union.

It’s good to be back. :)

I’m going to take a third spin of the dice to say I don’t think we will leave the EU on 31st January.

Interesting we’d rather import NHS staff than train them.
