It's what the members agreed to including the UK. Still unable to answer the question I see, why are others trading under the same rules able to outsell the UK. What reason will you offer when little changes after brexit and the UK continues to lag behind despite your belief in trade agreements. Second, there is much talk about restrictive EU rules, and certainly there re probably hundreds if not thousands of silly rules, but (a) Europeans can sell under these rules (b) which rules when abolished will be a major factor in building British exports ? Maybe there are some, I have just not heard them expressed concisely. |

I call them fantasy because I haven't seen the slightest shred of evidence that such deals will make up for the potential losses from leaving the EU, and second since it appears ( at least from news reports) none of the main reasons people voted for Brexit will happen, that bringing up trade deals as some magic elixir just to me seems like a fantasy.
Read links regarding Commonwealth countries and others. Read the links from the beginning of the 'other' thread. Whether they are successful or not we will have to wait and see but they are certainly not fantasy? None of the "main reasons" will happen??--- EU law will not be supreme to UK national law as such (one specific item of law temporarily as a consultation measure). There will not be 'free movement' of citizens from EU countries. |

that's very true as less than half our trade is with the EU we must be trading elsewhere. Mayhap people are confusing actual trading with making trade agreements?

So bad in fact, that it even remotely justifies all the negative consequences. No, not your opinion. Just illustrate it with tangible examples. No daily mail/express rhetoric, please. |

The "progress" made today could have been achieved in a few days rather than 18 months if it hadn't been for the silly notion of "red lines" on the single market and the customs union imposed by May' and the silly notion of entrusting the negotiation to the idiot DD, egged on by Boris and the frothers. This ain't over yet, but it will be. |

Crikey, it's been busy here at remainiac central.
It's gratifying to see so many posters happy at a so-called EU win over the UK - what a strange psychology must drive that joy at the UK "losing". |
