There are ways of convincing countries that what is bad for us is bad for them but if you don't bother building bridges with MEPs in your coalition group in other countries, then as an MEP you are fecked.
Don't turn up to debate: Blame the EU that they aren't interested in hearing what you might want.
Don't turn up to vote: Blame the EU that your vote wouldn't have mattered.
In the mind of a Brexit supporter, you must start off by blaming the EU, then work back to what you can blame them for, always but always ignore facts, always but always ignore what responsibility that you had, and if that fails, use smilies and call anyone who disagrees with you a snowflake, ultra left wing and ultra right wing at the same time.
Oh, and don't forget that anyone who voted Remain is more "elite" than Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Had he actually made the effort and argued his case he may actually have persuaded others to vote against it or been able to introduce amendments in favor of the UK.
He probably didn't because he was too busy fiddling the books.

Why would we need to negotiate that?
Why the fook does it have anything to do with anyone else?Comment

The barriers that we took part in creating?

If there is a need for goods the UK currently supplies to Europe to continue to be supplied then why would anyone put barriers in place to suddenly stop that - seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face...
or something a spoiled ten year old would do when they cannot get their own way.
But yes if those countries which currently buy our fish are happy to live without them then fine - that is one of the challenges we expected Brexit to bring about.Comment
