That's up to them isn't it?So then we just withdraw their access to our markets. Do the EU want that?
No but the British would like it even less.
The trouble is, contrary to popular myth, we need them more than they need us and that much hyped trade deficit isn't really counting for much.
Have you flip flopped back to being a remainer/rejoiner again?I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship; both need each other and both would be poorer if the relationship was to degenerate further than the sabre rattling being observed at the moment.
We are in the middle of a pandemic and the majority of politicians now find themselves more than just junket butterflies, they are having to make decisions, and from where I'm sitting, it appears not many like doing this.
In the UK, the security blanket of the EU has been ripped off our political classes bed, and the EU have got their own complex situation to manage, so the optics in an increasingly right-moving Europe, don't see Brexit as anything other than a unmitigated disaster.
I just don't know what to say to this.I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship; both need each other and both would be poorer if the relationship was to degenerate further than the sabre rattling being observed at the moment.

Yeah, should have come from either his FECO or his CP accounts.Probably forgot to log out and log back in hm with another alias.
I completely agree that we have to make the best of this bad situation.No, we're out, we voted out so we have to make the best of the situation presented.
Falling out and making things spikey will favour nobody.
But Macron's granny, etc...
To maintain that access to our markets? To show they're not just being ***** because we left? To do the decent thing to their ally and 'friend'? To be treated the same as most other non-EU countries when it comes to financial services?
So then we just withdraw their access to our markets. Do the EU want that?
I completely agree that we have to make the best of this bad situation.
(you never have to "make the best of" a good situation, do you?)
What is the alternative? Making the worst of it? I don't think many rational humans (other than disaster capitalists) want that, though their actions have often led in that direction.

Welcome back mrs strett, you have been sorely missed
You're talking about making "the most of it".Yes, you should always make the best of a good situation; this is where stability and wealth is prolonged and normalised.
Making the best of a bad situation (which we will differ in the opinion that this is one (Brexit, not Covid)) is where opportunities present themselves, paths and directions can be created.
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
Stret is right about one thing, we need to make the best of the situation we've created, moaning about what we've lost won't move us forward at all. Personally I think we just suck it up and see where we are in 5 years and have a conversation then about if this little exercise in sovereignty has been worthwhile.
*spoiler it won't have been*
Surely the UK leaving would result in the EU being less right wing?I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship; both need each other and both would be poorer if the relationship was to degenerate further than the sabre rattling being observed at the moment.
