Well, the core countries of the EU want further integration and cooperation, which the britts don't want, so I understand their decision to detangle themselves from the EU, but .. it should've been clear from the start, that it has to be a decades long process, so they really needed a plan with several steps (EU > EEA > customs union > free trade agreement) and a strong intergenerational consensus in this matter. A catastrophal crash out might in the long term lead to a similarly competitive economy as doing it step by step, but imo there will be faaar more suffering along the way (especially for the poorest britts) in the crash out scenario. |
well, not wanting more integration and cooperation is also stupid.
I LOVE ICELAND!
