i mean tldr uk gets fucked on both sides by brexit

2018-07-30 20:35:17 UTC  

idea behind it is good because on paper uk is getting fucked and can't cater to itself well

2018-07-30 20:35:29 UTC  

but its all loophole BS now

2018-07-30 20:35:38 UTC  

there was no plan behind brexit at all

2018-07-30 20:35:50 UTC  

like I'm pretty sure the EU still has to approve shit anyways

2018-07-30 20:36:00 UTC  

so its not like brexit is happening anymore than before

2018-07-30 20:36:19 UTC  

brexit is a good idea executed super poorly

2018-07-30 20:36:35 UTC  

I think its based on false premises and also basically pointless UNLESS you really care so much for formal national sovereignty

2018-07-30 20:36:44 UTC  

but thats like politics 101

2018-07-30 20:36:55 UTC  

what about a second pool? is it still an option?

2018-07-30 20:37:13 UTC  

what makes it a good idea? I don't see a single serious argument for it

2018-07-30 20:37:23 UTC  

>what about a second pool? is it still an option?
its being talked about all the time

2018-07-30 20:37:39 UTC  

its an option if the parliament goes for it

2018-07-30 20:37:53 UTC  

it's all not very well thought out i'm afraid

2018-07-30 20:38:33 UTC  

pro-Brexit politicians all have very, very simplified view of politics

2018-07-30 20:38:44 UTC  

19th century-like

2018-07-30 20:40:35 UTC  

the idea behind brexit was good, like economically wise. Our trade deals are super shit and it would force them to actually redo a lot of it

2018-07-30 20:40:49 UTC  

eeeeh

2018-07-30 20:40:53 UTC  

the actual act of leaving the EU is whatever

2018-07-30 20:41:33 UTC  

i'd say you are (or rather were) undeservedly privileged in the eu, maybe not in terms of trade deals per se but otherwise

2018-07-30 20:41:41 UTC  

who gets to keep their currency

2018-07-30 20:41:52 UTC  

and being a ocean locked nation trade more important than normal since were too small to make half the shit we need

2018-07-30 20:42:35 UTC  

we are like the poor man america in a way

2018-07-30 20:43:22 UTC  

they have good economic deals with china, tiawan, ect that benefit both greatly

2018-07-30 20:43:49 UTC  

meanwhile anytime anything tries to get changed locally get memed by the EU

2018-07-30 20:43:56 UTC  

cause they want a cut

2018-07-30 20:45:06 UTC  

fam

2018-07-30 20:45:08 UTC  

apropos of deals with china, i've heard you've managed to score a nice deal with china in 1997

2018-07-30 20:45:28 UTC  

I don't know if you are aware of it, but EU is setting global standards on trade

2018-07-30 20:45:34 UTC  

it's the worlds greatest trading bloc

2018-07-30 20:45:51 UTC  

and you benefit from it as well

2018-07-30 20:46:10 UTC  

UK and EU are basically inseperable I honestly doubt that you won't remain in the single market

2018-07-30 20:46:37 UTC  

if you do you'll regret that

2018-07-30 20:46:55 UTC  

i honestly don't get brexit, as in - i think i do but if so then it's just so _stupid_

2018-07-30 20:47:03 UTC  

can it be that simple

2018-07-30 20:47:09 UTC  

I get that 'island nation' stuff and making trade deals worldwide, but for you, Europe is the most important trading partner

2018-07-30 20:47:15 UTC  

and you should recognise that

2018-07-30 20:47:26 UTC  

also look at Canada, Australia, New Zealand

2018-07-30 20:47:35 UTC  

are the tories really that short-sighted

2018-07-30 20:47:47 UTC  

the Commonwealth nations that explicitly prefer to make economic deals with the EU, not the UK first

2018-07-30 20:48:13 UTC  

Brexit is based on false premises
