So what specific adaptations would they be?

And how many of those 94% are still reliant on EU based supply chains?

That's upto us and the government we elect instead of Italian tomato growers.

Who cares? Anyone relying on EU supply chains will be unaffected.

If France and Germany wants to blockade us we'll nuke 'em. Other than that, it's our own border forces that will delay supply and Ireland will get a double whammy.

I'm getting really tired of arguing with Europeans and their protectionist religion. Truth is, you're shit. Europe hasn't done anything worthwhile since before WW2. It's kind of crazy how easily you all fall into line. The UK and it's babies have created the modern world for the best part of a thousand years and we don't need to take advice from countries who only exist because of our benevolence. World history can basically be summed up as England ignoring and doing the opposite of whatever scheme the continentals are doing.

With a Boris/Tory government we're going to become more libertarian than the US. IE We'll destroy you in trade.

Funny thing regarding the Irish backstop. Ireland only joined the EU because the UK did. Ireland's trade relies on us. Ireland can try and play the big bollocks but economics will always win in the end. I give it ten years before Ireland joins an economic union with the UK. By which point the rest of Europe will probably have gone far right again and we'll probably have to destroy them.

When the next generation realises that the continent is nothing more than a thorn in our side, we can go back to embarrassing them with our Anglo-Saxon Free Trade supremacy.

So increasing barriers to trade that are currently free will have no effect on supply chains that rely on those Countries where we put up barriers.... That seems logical to you?

You realize the EU currently has the largest network of trade deals and agreements in the World? And that these types of decisions have always been up to the Government we elect and not Italian farmers?

Now, back to the original question, as you're probably voting for a UK Government, what specific adaptations do you want to see them apply?
