Who cares what the economy is worth in $ terms. Its the overall standard of UK living that is important.

Originally posted by AtW View PostWhy is it unenforceable? Most of money made from downloads are made by a handful of known companies, they had to charge VAT for a long time OR they don't get sales at all.
At least those were EU rules, maybe if UK is on its own then those big companies would not bother...

Originally posted by DaveB View PostThats why I highlighted the "no customs duty either" bit of your post...
There is a very long list of products that have varying levels of duties depending where they come from, VAT is by far more important - 20% and it is taken from very small amount, not for printed books though.

Most other things will end up in customs waiting for you to pay import duties and VAT before they are released.

The main trade barrier if not in the single market will be the bureaucracy associated with selling goods. For example:
Selling food to China - Doing Business in China

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostTBH, I think it's rather pointless debating it further on here. There are respected authorities on both sides of this. My personal view (aligned with Lord Lisvane, for example) is that they absolutely can exercise prerogative power, if they wish, but that it would not be politically expedient to do so.
In terms of triggering Article 50 quickly, that would be stupid. Aside from the consolidation and planning that we need to engage with, it's one of our few bargaining chips. ..
