I’m sorry Wattie, I agree with a lot of what you say, but I can’t agree with this. I do not believe that May’s deal will be worse than no deal as long as an UK/EU trade deal is agreed in a reasonable timescale, say two years, and there is a workable compromise on the back stop. If the EU don’t play ball in agreeing a trade deal, we would just leave anyway. There is not a thing the EU can do to stop us. And all the other EU countries that want to continue to trade with the UK will be pushing the EU to agree a deal that stops a future no deal outcome just as they are now. Your rather extreme view feels a bit “tabloid” headline, and just the sort of thing that undermines the Brexit positive positioning.
You're incorrect, we cannot legally leave "Mays deal" without EU approval and that is the whole trouble with the position.....it has no time limit....
Any one single country can veto our leaving.
Just imagine......Spain- Nope you're not leaving until we get Gibralter.
France- nope unless our fishermen get even more North Sea access,
Greece- nope unless Jamie Oliver uses at least a litre of our olive oil as a dressing in each dish.....
How on earth did the PM think this was a good idea and run with it against ALL advice. The Eu have no incentive whatsoever to let us leave so why will they be reasonable with the future negotiations? They wont and we will be legally trapped.
Hence why it was so hated.......see the resignation letters, we have no bargaining power in future talks, no voice no nothing for as long as they decide.
Total surrender of our sovereignty.......that is the end of the UK and Brussels will make us their example to others.
