Tory and Labour MPs plot secret deal to ensure soft Brexit

[jamesbrown]

There indeed will be a transition, a very long transition and there will indeed be a bucket of sickFTA, and to get a feel for what that FTA will look like, look no further than Switzerland. Incidentally Switzerland also negotiates its own trade deals. I doubt whether the Conservative government will complete the negotiations on the FTA, that will probably be a Labour government.

Is that your preference? Perhaps you take the view that the EUnimatrix comes before national governance . Certainly, a Corbyn gov't would be "interesting". It's surprising how many self-proclaimed moderates are now hoping for "interesting times", so I suppose you're in good company. Meanwhile, a Swiss deal is looking rather unlikely. Last I heard, the EU was trying very hard to kill the Swiss deal for the Swiss .

Perhaps they can distribute that bucket of sick among the net beneficiaries when we leave?

What are you predicting ?

Do you think after 2 years the EU will cave in and offer the UK a fantastic deal to make them the envy of the EU ?

or are you saying the UK will crash out without a deal, and the government will survive a motion of no confidence and go on to win a landslide ?

What are you hoping for?

Are you hoping that, after 2 years, the UK will cave in and accept a terrible deal that makes them the envy of supranational bureaucracies everywhere (let's call it "taxation without representation")?

Or are you hoping that Korbyn will secure a landslide and that the UK will greatly benefit from a more, er, "authoritarian democracy"?

If we end up like Switzerland - sounds good to me!!!

Expensive housing, food, eating out? Yeah sure that'll go down a treat.

Sounds very unlikely, because there can be only one Switzerland

HTH

I would agree with you on that, but the problem is that it would cause a lot of Brexiters to sit under a table with a paper bag over their head.

Conversely, anything other than unfettered FoM, and the minority of hardcore remainers will be reaching for the tinfoil. I predict that CUK will either be propping up the price of aluminium or paper over the coming years. I'm long aluminium.

Is the eating out obligatory?

I mean fine most the time but a few days a month it may an idea to give it a miss.

Unless that's your thing I suppose.

Minority ?

Unfortunately Mrs May's small majority was swept aside by a majority (Labour plus all the other parties) who are clearly prepared to:

In trade negotiations our priorities favour growth, jobs and prosperity. We make no apologies for putting these aims before bogus immigration targets.
