The best Brexit you can get...

that's up to Rupert

Me and Original PM, for one. But I thought you'd be interested in downplaying your apparent ignorance.

Indeed - one of the few grammar things which winds me up -mainly because it is so wrong.

The word of is substituted for have because of people being unable to spell the contracted version

E..g they hear could've but write it could of.

It is a spelling mistake, not a grammar mistake. Please try to use the semantically correct word. And sort out your punctuation!

The best Brexit you can get...

... is the least damaging one.
Because all forms of Brexit lead to a shrinking of the economy.
That logically follows from the fact that any deal will put some constraints on trade with our biggest trading partner, which is currently open and free.

The idea that trade with other countries/blocs will make up for this loss is, frankly, complete and utter bullshit wishful thinking, firstly because most countries won't think of the UK as a major trading partner on its own and secondly because we don't make enough stuff to trade with.


HTH, BIKIW.

It's worse than wishful thinking. The hard right Brexiteers know exactly what it will do to the economy, but will tell any lie they have to, so they can fulfill their Little England dream.
