The EU depend on our trade as well

It won’t be FTA

and it is better to know the direct costs of that acccess

You think they’re gonna give us FTA?

People like you are the reason it wont be

Single market access with no free movement?

rather than being screwed in other areas

We literally have more bargaining power than the EU on this subject

Such a fucking fantasy

Lmao

We have more power than the combined EU?

you mean like norway and canada?

Okay I’m dumb lmao

Theres a reason Germany is shitting itself because we import so much

Norway is in the single market

Canada is not

We will get injured in a no deal BRexit, but they will certainly suffer more (millions of EU jobs are threatened by a no deal)

Norway is gonna leave

they have a trade deal tho

as much as i hate to admit, pep has a point here

it's a matter of perspective regarding how much bargaining power the UK or the EU have

This is too stupid now, we have dudes thinking we are more powerful than the entire EU

Our bargaining potential has been sold short by the remain crowd and effectively meant we are now beholden to the EU therefore BRexit has failed

And it means we will eventually rejoin this failing corrupt block

but given sheer economic output capacity, EU would appear to have more leverage

I’m going back to work, these power fantasies are impossible to argue with

PEP... if the EU doesnt want a ftd ... thats fine... we would earn more through tariffs than we spend

they would lose out... so ... its fine if they want that

We literally don't need the EU that is the thing, it is a remain fantasy.

what is the GDP comparison? UK vs EU?

to the net of 8bn a year

Inb4 Poland veto the deal

^^ this is also true storin

the uk doesn't need the eu

no one really 'needs' the eu

They need us and that has been proven many times, the EU needs to fail because it is corrupt at the root

well, that isn't totally accurate

Cum is dead boyo's

Also I love how the customs arrangement has an absolute veto from Stormont

I think focusing on GDP is a net negative for the individuals who live in Britain too. It sees people as a single working block rather than looking at their living standards. This is why the GDP rising in America means fuck all if people's individual living standards remain stagnated along with wages.
