If the EU, as part of the previous 3 years negotiations had accepted that the UK was leaving and allowed the UK to negotiate trade deals that could be enacted upon at the point of leaving we would be in a much better situation post Brexit. But the EU will not allow that to happen, as it would make No-Deal so much easier and that cannot be allowed to happen.
Until we leave that treaty, we are bound by it.

Originally posted by meridian View PostNo it’s not. Sign the WA and we’ve left. Easy, and less disruptive than not signing and leaving anyway.
You’re cherry-picking unrelated examples and correlating them to justify something completely different.
Do you realise how ridiculous that argument sounds?
“No other country wants to be WTO-only, why is is a good idea for the UK?”
“Mike Rutherford and Genesis....”

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostWhether it is a good idea or not, its the only achievable way for the UK to leave.
Would it be such a disaster? Many times disasters have been predicted and they have not cone true.
As Mike Rutherford from Genesis remarked over people leaving Genesis, at the time they all thought it would be disastrous. But actually it worked out well.
Or to pick another example, Mervyn King writing to the times along with 363 other so called experts to deride the 1981 budget. It worked out quite well....

Originally posted by meridian View PostSo never any deal? No trading relationship except on WTO terms? If that was such a good idea, why isn’t everyone (anyone) trying to get back to basic WTO terms?

Is it achievable in any space of time? If so, then set that time and plan for it. Short term pain for long term gain, isn’t it?
And Brexiters want to leave with no deal. Its the only way.

Originally posted by meridian View PostIf they’d voted for the WA then we’d be out, and have a two year transition period in which to sort out the border and the future relationship. It would be hard work, but achievable.
Sometimes it’s almost as if Brexiters don’t actually want to leave, they’d just be happier moaning about things.

If they had voted for WA the UK would now be stuffed,. A vassal state in limbo. There are only 2 ways forward - remain or no deal. I think the UK now falls into 2 camps. Those that understand that. And those who no longer care - its just too boring.

Originally posted by meridian View PostNo, their EU manifestos for 2019. They are the only two main parties that have Brexit in it.
You might have forgotten, but if the hard Brexiters had voted for the WA we’d be out by now.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostIt was in their manifesto in 2017. Both said result of referendum would be honoured.
No-one believes that ConLab are Brexit parties. Well, perhaps a few thickos. Both are stuffed with Remainer MPs. A few (like TM) want such a soft Brexit it will just make the UK worse off. Having to abide by EU rules, with no say on them, and unable to make our own trade deals.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostFarage has a huge advantage. There is basically only one Brexit party(anyone who votes UKIP now is a racist).
Remain has several parties splitting the vote.
I hope this will lead to better UK governance. But it probably won't. The only chance the UK has now is remaining and being run from Brussels.
