Brexit

[MrWayne]

This thread really is a mess...
You guys realise that "may's deal" only sets the temporary relationship between the UK and EU until the true new trade deal is signed. There are only two things certain with "may's deal", a) the UK will leave the EU as a active member and b) the UK won't cut off all it's relations with the EU and restart at WTO level. The new relationship between UK and EU after the real deal is signed still can be anything from the Norway model(unlikely) to the canada model.

personally Brexit showed me three things:
a) public votes that are only adviseral are a stupid and really undemocratic concept, you Brits should change that in your constitution.

b) the lack of basic global economic understanding amongst many Brexiters. All this talk about "we will make better trade deals without the EU" and "the commonwealth can replace the EU as a trade partner", what are you guys smoking on your little island? If you have to name one thing the EU is really good in, it has to be trade policy because it's the only policy field where the EU institutions can use the full might of the 21 trillion $ single market. This brings me to the last point.

c) the lack of basic understanding what the EU is, how it works and what it can and can't do. When you hear all the horror stories about the EU, it feels like pure irony that Brexiters call the campaign for remain "project fear".
