Cable Forum - Britain outside the EU

I fear your dislike for our country's European allies may blind you to the facts. The UK is the 77th least bureaucratic country in the World, well behind many EU countries like Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and France.

Surely you are just confirming that the EU is a bureaucratic nightmare:D

Not sure you've understood the rankings. We're only 77th best. Most EU countries are far less bureaucratic than us. That includes Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, etc.

Have you noticed how all the old Vote Leave gang have gone oh so quiet on how well our new "Global Britain" trade deals have done :)

What is very funny is that even Chatham House, a think tank funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, says:

Quote:

But the economic benefit of joining is minimal and does not compensate for the cost of leaving the European Union (EU).

According to the UK government’s own projections, the estimated long-run increase in its GDP from joining CPTPP is 0.08 per cent. Moreover, the UK already has bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with nine of the eleven current CPTPP members, which limits potential economic effects.

Not at all. I blame whoever put us in this position, sorry it wasn’t Labour. Do keep up.
