wow, I'm shocked by this.
What is becoming obvious is that Trump's handlers who are much brighter than him are playing a dangerous game using him as a stooge.
Slight drawback to your scheme, getting agreement to it inside the EUdon't think so. Only 12 (including UK) of the 28 are net contributors. 11 at most might want to join the UK as associate EU members if the EU want to reform that way. The Netherlands and France are the two most obvious:
Net contributors:
I don't know how many of the posters here follow the French elections. Fallon, the republican candidate, a bit more right wing than Mrs May, may be forced to pull out if payments to his wife comes under scrutiny by the French judiciaire. That will practically make Le Pen favourite to be the next French President.
As I pointed out, it's an utterly improbable outcome, they had chanced their arm as far as they could with the deal we already had.
I agree. From what I've heard its all about timing. Currenlty MPs / Lords don't feel they have enough ammunition to go against the "will of the people". Thats why all the MPs are getting up and saying they think its a bad idea, but they will vote with the governement... they all expect / hope things will change, that the will of the public will change, and they will have another vote at some point in the 2 years where they can pull the plug on this crazy idea.
Guys, you don't want to take the viewpoints of people like Mr Trump seriously.
Wonder how the Chinese RMB sits on that graph?Guys, you don't want to take the viewpoints of people like Mr Trump seriously.
I repost the OECD currency valuation chart again - countries can go to war over this.
If the Euro was re-valued by 25%, my bike business will boom. KD will agree with me on this.
There are also plenty of people who do not want to see the EU flag fly over their public buildings.
Yes. That's one of the natural consequences of long term democracy.
Off the scales. I reckon -200%?
My sentiments exactly, alas the comparison that springs to mind is giving a child a live hand grenade to play with, with or without the pin
And a similar number who do, and that will most likely increase as matters get worse.
If you want to make a point fly the Union Jack and the Skull and Crossbones
OG, you write off brexit's economic prospects too easily.
What an ingenious idea! attack the very place that has most of Americas companies and debt in it's hands.
No actually if you recall I didn't write off the economic prospects, I pointed out that all that could be hoped for at best as a slight improvement (or none)
We are big contributors to the EU and the second largest economy. I don't know how OG can dismiss the UK as having no negotiating position.don't think so. Only 12 (including UK) of the 28 are net contributors. 11 at most might want to join the UK as associate EU members if the EU want to reform that way.

somebody has to shake up the current world economics.
They are keeping their powder dry. It's too early to mount an offensive. If negotiations start to look unfavourable for the UK, the MPs who favour remain will have something tangible, instead of assumptions and predictions, to use against the government. It's a tactical game and I understand what they are doing.
