    It misses the Greenlandic model where the UK reduces its population to 50-60,000 and joins the Kingdom of Denmark.

      You use that word free - so any member of the EU can trade with any other member of the EU and there is no import/export duty then?

      Oh no wait of course there is

      Free - you keep using that word - I don't think it means what I think you think it means.
      I hope you're not ever going to be in charge of anything important.

        Is that because I am able to make decisions without pandering to my ego and so make a decision and come up with a solution based on logic and fact and not petty prejudices like a spoiled ten year old?

          Back in the 1970s we had "Keep Britain Tidy" campaigns and were encouraged to "Buy British". Maybe a bit of respect and responsibility from individual citizens rather than doing nothing apart from blaming others, then Britain would be a better country. And that would be true whether we remain as part of the EU or we exit.
          If we remain it will be "Keep the EUSSR Tidy" Campaigns and "Buy dodgy Polish horsemeat"

          You know its headed for a Political Union?

            Indeed remind me to pay my customers so I can sell to them. I'm sure India, China etc will want us to pay for a ridiculous bureaucracy in our trade deals.

            It's going to fall to bits, we don't have to be a part of it when it dies.

              It doesn't have to, but that would require individuals to take responsibility, and it's clear that some on here have no intention of doing that.

                No, it is because you are incoherent.

                  Cameron gave away our Veto, the EUSSR is coming. Not sure what individuals on here can do about except Brexit unless of course Darmy is really Merkel and NAT is Juncker.

                    What in option 4 is their an increase in trade tariffs - other than people will make rules and put in trade tariffs - there is no no need to increase trade tariffs.

                    That is exactly the sort of thing I fear if we do Brexit - all the pointless twats suddenly make up lots of rules to make it look like it was a bad idea when the reality is they have just changed the rules.

                      So, if individuals do nothing, then individuals keep blaming others for everything that is wrong in the world
                      And the world becomes more tulipy because individuals are not prepared to SUPPORT their local economy and SUPPORT their local businesses, rather they find it easier to blame others do nothing for themselves.


                      If YOU want Britain to be Great, then YOU need to support British industry, British farmers, British shops. If you want to blame the EU for you not shopping locally, not buying British, then you are being a hypocrite.
