Brexit benefit

[NotAllThere]

EU countries won't be able to enforce parking tickets nor speed cameras tickets on British motorists.

Paris are seeking an agreement, but Britain isn't in a hurry.

Of course, they can keep a note of your registration and hassle you if you're stopped for any reason subsequently.

Good that you've found a benefit.

So far:

The fishermen are screwed
Hauliers are screwed
Billions of share trading moved to the EU
Supermarkets look like they'll be empty in a week or two.
Exporters stopping exports

anymore benefits?

That definitely counts as a Brexit win! Just need to find out how to exploit this properly.

+1 Brexit bonus.

To make a grand total of..... 1

Although you might struggle to enter the country again. and it might not last long.
These uplands really are sunny.

As a separate legal entity Britain can tweak and adjust its competition laws how it see's fit. It will have the freedom to build products and services in different and unique ways the benefits of which include increasing innovation and reducing the cost base of those products. The burden of additional paper work exports and customs will get automated through technology over time and business's will adapt.

In 2-3 years time the Britain's economy will fully adapt to the change and be on a trajectory for greater sustained prosperity than could ever be acheived by being in the EU. Brexit has happened now so get on with it.

Maybe but it does seem to have got off to a bad start.

There is also the problem that when the UK does tweak its competition laws then the EU might block them by threatening additional onerous checks at the border. So sayeth the trade agreement.

I'm sure the tories will build their whole next electoral campaign around it

[BlasterBates]

What I find interesting is that the government hasn't made a single concrete suggestion about what laws it will change to be more competitive. It's all very "abstract".

No one will want to get in to a tarrif war but if it happens then Britain with its wider opportunity to create trade agreements post Brexit will able be to counter tarrif's imposed by EU by selling in to other markets. Also the EU exports more to the UK than the UK exports to the EU so that type of behaviour will hurt the EU.

The EU see's Britain as an opportunity for growth to it's economy and will aim to maintain a healthy economic partnership.

The UK represent's only 4% of the EU's trade, the EU represents almost 50% of the UK's trade. If the French shut the border the French supermarkets will have 4% less food, the UK will have 50% less food.

If the UK were to have a trade dispute with the Pitcairn Islands and the Pitcairn Islands exports £100,000 worth of goods and the UK exports £150000 worth of goods. Then although the UK exports more, losing that amount of exports is a pin prick, whereas £100,000 is a substantial part of the Pitcairns economy, so taking a massive hit. That illustrates why arguing with absolute figures is nonsense.
