@ashecbtb9509 Clearly you don't have a clue what Brexit is or what it entails if you think it'll transition in any way smoothly, and no it won't affect the EU even remotely anything like it will affect us since there is 27 members of that bloc and only one UK. This idea people have that we "keep the EU afloat" is so absurd it could be a Monty Python sketch. This time next year the EU will have all the same deals it has now with the exception of the UK, whereas the UK will have no deals whatsoever and will be in the process of creating them while buying all of it's goods on a 30% WTO tariff, at the same time the other 193 nations on Earth will know that we have no deals and will be able to offer us any terms they please in the knowledge that we will be desperate to get them done and dusted.
"Japan is lining up, the US is lining up, the Indians are lining up to trade with us" as someone once said, as though it was a positive thing, just shows you that we will be weak prey for countries who look forward to dealing with us not as part of the #1 economy on the planet with 193 trading parters as the #5 or #6 largest economy with no trading partners. I envisage most trade discussion to feature lines similar to this one, "We get all the beef we need from Argentina and the US so knock 60% off that figure before we resume these talks next month!"
Yeah, it's gonna be Christmas for the other nations, the first time in history that a global power has been without trading partners and they will pick us apart like loiterers at a car boot sale, leaving it very late in the day so we'll happily accept whatever offer they give us. Well done to the 17.5 million rats that chewed through the hull, the sooner we Scots get off this sinking ship the better.
