BREXIT - WTO now saying UK will need new trade deal costing billions and years

[jamesbrown]

If UK votes out, then SNP will certainly run new referendum - the answer to currency will be obvious: EUR, same as UK as a whole should have used when it could.

They won't unless they can win it. Recent polling suggests that a majority of Scots do not want another IndyRef, regardless of the outcome of the EU referendum. Furthermore, there still isn't a majority for independence when averaged across recent polls. The SNP are many things, but stupid isn't one of them.

Yeah, that would have been a great move.

Yeah, that would have been a great move.

It will be great move for UK as a whole too - no more currency fluctuations when trading with the main market.

You don't get it because you are a white van driver who does not have a clue about international trade - wealth comes from exports, write it down somewhere, preferably on your head...

Except they cannot. Because the UK parliament did not devolve constitutional matters to them.

They can ask, but doesn't mean they'll get one. Especially not if the UK is in the middle of renegotiating an exit.

I don't get it because I am a pig-headed dullard who does not have a clue about anything as complex as buying sofas and property

If the answer is the Euro, I dread to think what the question might have been...

The question was - how to have a level playing field in EU.

Single currency is one of the many important requirements.

We can't join the Euro until we pass the economic tests. So far we haven't passed them.

1. 20-50% youth unemployment
2. Minimum degree of chronic uncompetitiveness
3. Negative interest rates
etc.

Glad you know what the tests are as no other f***er does.
