Treated as equals. This has been the problem all along, the U.K. negotiators getting big heads and thinking that 1 country of 50m is "equal" to 27 countries of 500m.Originally posted by BlasterBates View Post
Even within the EU, other members of the EU27 look at what the UK has (had?) in opt outs and rebates.
The U.K. is to the EU, what the DUP is to mainland UK. Small, whiney, constantly wanting things to be different "just for us" and then continuing to complain about how unfair everyone is.Comment
