    Since the UK doesn't export a lot of precious stones, gold and other minerals to the EU it's pretty useless as a "template".

    The Canada deal still has quotas and virtually nothing on services.

        you know that you base things on a template and customise to your needs?

          Fantastic! Does it give Canadian financial institutions passporting rights as well?

            80% of the UK's exports are in services.

            A Ceta deal would be completely inadequate.

              So if Scotland were to leave the UK and join EU it wouldn't be bullied around in the same way it is in the UK.

              I'm glad we cleared that up.

                  you mean a deal with limited tariffs, access to the EU market and controlled movement is not a good basis to start a negotiation for our future.

                  oh right.... good job you aren't in charge.

                    be fair it would give some country with an economy for the Greeks to laugh at like the Germans do at them (until they realise who is paying for the Greeks).

                    Not sure what they will do with the shiny parliament we paid for once the EU take over.
