Cable Forum - View Single Post - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

Putting politics to one side, do people think it's sensible to leave completely at the end of the transition period in the event of no deal being agreed?

My concern is that the effects of the Coronavirus itself will affect the negotiation process and that it is said that it will produce an economic crisis as bad as the 9/11 situation.

Many argue that Brexit won't cause this economic problems to happen, but should we risk the economic effects of leaving with no deal on top of this crisis, or would it be prudent to extend the transitional period for a time?

I know that Johnson has pinned his popularity on leaving if no deal is reached and introduced legislation to prevent an extension, but I think that most people would accept that dealing with this pandemic must take precedence.
