its a free trade zone between 27 member nations, the market outside those is subject to taxes and tariffs, so not a completely free market
External trade deals as touted by Brexiters are mostly hot air.
Because our economy is 80% services and location matters.
The only other external trading partner that *might* compensate is the US, and we know that's going to be completely one-sided.
Which is why I keep saying we're going to be the de facto 51st vassal state of the US, without the rights of the other 50.Hard Brexit now!

Strangely enough if money is made of paper then there is definitely a correlation between money and trees.....
And as for 1st, 2nd or 3rd world countries - thats a bit ootdated now.

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostSo you think that Outcome A 'no deal' and Outcome B 'deal' both have a one in two probability because there are no other facts to tell us differently.
You presumably also think that Outcome A 'no deal', Outcome B 'deal with UK in customs union' and Outcome C 'deal with UK not in customs union' all have a one in three probability because there are no other facts to tell us differently.Comment

brexit gives us the opportunity to target our workforce and businesses towards these USP's, make the most of whatever competitive advantage we have and build on it.
obviously this isn't going to happen on brexit day +1 but I've always seem it as a 100+ year decision, if the government can get it's act together and adopt the right principles and approach we could probably create an economy that is attractive to businesses and innovation
Britain still commands a fair reputation around the world when it comes to commerce and producing quality products & services play it right and there are opportunities that can be exploited that are much more difficult inside the EUComment
