International influence

[woohoo]

It’s like leaving the FBI elite unit in order to become county sheriff in Alabama.

or its like leaving your arse at the front door but then slapping it on the way back in.
Wtf are you on?

[Whorty]

UK had a lot of influence within the EU and in turn the EU have a lot of "clout" worldwide.

Post Brexit we are on our own. The first trial will be trying to negotiate trade deal with our 2 biggest trading partners - EU and US from a position of relative economic and political weakness. Let's see how it goes.

BUT, BUT, BUT, WE HOLD ALL THE CARDS



Can someone pass the popcorn? Thanks

Ahh you mean the omnishambles caused by a number of politicians desperately trying to over turn the democratic will of the people?

Yes that was an absolute disgrace but really just solidified the view of many people that most of the politicians are self serving ******* who could not give a damn about the people in their constituencies except for that annoying time when they have to go and see them to get them to vote.

Or do we look at the the EU council chief trying to influence the UK elections Donald Tusk's message to UK voters: don't give up on stopping Brexit | Politics | The Guardian

Do you think being part of the EU would make a difference in those interactions with America and China?

Because I did not see any evidence of that in the past.

But yeah lets all become Eurosheep.

Baaaa

Maybe you can explain why leaving an organisation which has systematically ignored the desires of it's members states will cause the UK to lose International Influence?

Because thanks to Brexit everyone and their dog throughout the world has been exposed to the omnishambles UK politics for the last 3-4 years.

Add a dash of foreign policy failure in relations to HK human rights abuse, despite some commitment on part of the UK after the transition back to China.

And a pinch of impotence when the US bluntly refuse to discuss Anne Sacoolas extradition.

And you have the final result - no one (except maybe some 3rd world countries) think much of the UK in terms of International influence.

Or are you just genuinely that fooking stupid?

Admittedly it took some contortion and a mirror.

I know you won't answer, but please do give examples to support the above claim

You seem to be the biggest joke in this thread....

Well that's my achievement for the day done.
