    You need to think about that in particular as to how this will impact the UK´s negotiating position.

    Is it really a good idea to have a great trade deal with a country who pretty much make the same tulip as you?

    Will the Germans really all start buying Japanese cars?

    Or the french?

    Sometimes I wonder if any of you fu<kwits have a brain - just because you have a trade deal it does not mean it will add value.
    I'm looking forward to buy a cheaper Lexus and less expensive Kobe beef.

    Yes. She told them that "deal that will work for everyone means a deal that will work for everyone".

    Only if no deal means reverting to status quo, as it usually means in dealmaking.

    Dispute resolution is through a supranational arbitration panel, so it would not fly with leavers who insist that English courts should have power over foreign countries in any FTA signed by the UK post-Brexit. Something about sovereignty for the UK but not for others.

    They already do, but they're currently manufactured in the UK.

    Guess where they´ll be coming from in the future. One wonders if the UK might have put a brake on that had they decided not to leave.

    Finally you understand what the remain camp were talking about. Brexit have been going on about getting a trade deal with the EU because "the EU will be desperate to deal with us". The EU will happily sign a trade deal if it has been negotiated well, but that doesn't force them to buy anything from the UK.

    Glad you're on board now and finally understand that you made a mistake supporting the idea of leaving.
