| OlfinBedwere said: To be fair, both May and Corbyn have near-impossible balancing acts to pull off right now. On the one hand, the Conservatives' membership and the press are both overwhelmingly behind Brexit, but the big businesses who bankroll the party are generally against it, and certainly against a no-deal Brexit. And on the other hand, a large majority of Labour's traditional parliamentary seats voted to leave, but the party membership and many of the new voters the party picked up in 2017 are against Brexit. |
Those business realise that soon, they will lose a competive edge when tradeing inside the EU.
WTO rules applying, will probably mean soon you ll face a ~15% tarif on alot of goods, and when ~60% of your trade is with EU, that can hurt.
Why they are against a no deal brexit is because their thinking with their pockets, in mind.
| Pagan said: A hard brexit would be the Most idiotic Thing to do. Why Not taking Something while leaving. A Bad seal is still better as No Deal at all. You cant govern a Country with your Heart. You have to govern it your brain. It might be that the British People today are to Proud to Accept anything from the EU. But Tell that to the Future generations who wont give a crab about your Feelings today. They want to know what Deal you made for Future generations. |
Nothing is set in stone, overtime deals can be worked out, that while still not as good as being a member, probably wont horribly cripple the UK.
Also theres always the chance in the future that they could join again.
Maybe things somehow just work out anyways, and the UK just starts moveing more and more of its trade, over to china & the US.
Thought Im really sceptical about that, I consider that to be a pipe dream of lies sold to the people by those that wanted brexit.
