I accept that we are leaving what I can't accept is the loss of human rights because of the "out means out" from those too stupid to understand how the Council of Europe is not part of the EU. Ignorant fools throwing away rights that protect many disabled people.
I am not ignorant. We were the ones that fought for those rights. Our politicians will have to keep them regardless, or be voted out. Or not. Depends on OUR choice as it should do, not some bureaucrats in Brussels. Stop panicking. We will keep everything we currently have, and change and increase or decrease AS WE CHOOSE later.
I'd say that I had a greater understanding than the vast majority of Leave voters in that respect! I also understand the "trivialities" that need to be resolved prior to us leaving. Not resolving the issues linked to leaving like the position of EU citizens in the UK will cause problems, we need clear policies and legislation so that they know where they stand. 2 years on it has not been thought about if we leave without a deal and by the time they do it'll be 2 more years. We've wasted 2 years because the Tories can't sort themselves out never mind the EU.
Theres nothing to sort out. When you leave the golf club, thats it. You dont keep using the green. The 2 years has been those that want to stay in, trying to negotiate some deal where we are basically still in, but pretending to be out. So called soft brexit. Really means part brexit. And the EU golf club is quite rightly baffled. So am I. We are telling them we are leaving. But still trying to stay partly in and use the golf cart and the bar, which is not what leave means...
Take a look at the wealth of those countries we could do trade deals with other than the US and Japan, both of whom will have a trade deal in the near future none come anywhere near the potential of the European countries that we currently trade with. Other than China but that would be a one sided deal. I've said a number of times that we should of pushed for a Canada style free trade deal.
Wrong. The EU sells us more than we sell them. They will be the net losers. And the rest of the world has massively more trade than the EU. 97% of trade is not in the EU!!! Whats more the countries with less wealth are DEVELOPING countries, and their demand for goods and services is growing where the EU market is shrinking. We can be supplying them with industrial plants, services, and more because they dont know how. A much more interesting market than the EU.
I might add... The richest countries in the world are NOT in the EU. And have no trade deals with it.
The richest countries per capita in Europe are also NOT IN THE EU!!!
And as I have said many times ECONOMICS was not the reason for the LEAVE vote. I and most like me DO NOT CARE if we are economically weaker (we wont be and will be better off out after a few years anyway) because we already had all those warnings. And VOTED LEAVE ANYWAY!!! And WON. Its not about economics. It never was.
