Originally posted by original PM View PostCannot argue with that bit - the fact the UK has not shown a united front to the EU has made us incredibly weak from a negotiating perspective.
However if the trade deals we get from the EU mean that it is better to switch to suppliers outside the EU then that does not benefit the EU at all.
It's like anything - take tourism in the EU - if they make it difficult for UK people to go on holiday it will negatively impact economies - not saying that tourism from the UK is a large part of EU countries income - it is still a part of it and any slip in income just makes it more difficult for the people of those countries - because there is nothing to fill the gap - it is not like the UK people are stopping other people holidaying in EU countries.
I mean lets say you sell sledges from the EU - after Brexit (if it ever happens) that 10% of your sales which went to the UK are under threat - especially if we can get chlorinated sledges for cheaper from the USA. So in that instance we still get sledges and you lose 10% of your sales.
In order to maintain your profits then you need to put your pries up so the rest of the EU countries end up paying more for their sledges.
Even with an united front EU would and always will be in a far stronger position than the UK (how hard can be to get it!?!)
About EU suffering with a no deal, yes a bit, but nothing even close to what you might think/imagine/dream.
British will still buy Champagne, prosecco, French cheese, Spanish wine etc etc… even if prices go up 10/20/30%. You cant get any of this from US can you!?
Holidays the same! Even if going on holidays to Europe will go up 10/20/30% will still be the cheapest destination for Brits, why anything relevant would change here!?"The boy who cried Sheep"Comment
