Doesn't cover what they were demanding, what debts does the second largest CONTRIBUTER have in the EU? The UK has a net loss from the deal. If there are any debts it's what the EU owes the UK

We signed up for the EU's budget framework when we became a member. We agreed to pay a percentage of that YEARLY budget.

This is something we signed into law.

A percentage of an arbitrary budget that they inflated just to screw brexit

A budget which is agreed upon and signed by the EU parliament and then by us, the member state.

This is a budget which has already been agreed upon.

And we allowed.

Else, we would have veto'd it

The budget they are demanding be paid on was decided after brexit was voted on

There's the 2016 budget for one.

Which we agreed upon before the referendum

We're still paying into the EU budget now.

*Or should be at least*

Only till the end of October

The budget is just ONE point

If you are

In which we will have to pay

We have other obligations in the EU

There's no enforceable obligations to an undemocratic union, the worst they can do is take it out on the countries still in. They literally can't hurt the UK once they leave.

"undemocratic union"

We vote in it.

We voted to join.

We voted to leave.

We have influence in it.

You vote on parliament

So you can fuck off with that leaver BS.

Who has no actual power

False.

"They literally can't hurt the UK once they leave."

Yes, they can.

How

AND, we can hurt ourselves in the process

How

Tariffs on our goods

Increased restrictions

Sell elsewhere, buy elsewhere

Making operating between the two entities more expensive and costly.

Not always that simple

Over 100 countries not in the EU waiting for a chance to deal with the UK

If we don't pay the divorce bill, we will be hurting ourselves

By not upholding our obligations
