which EU counties are you referring to? You do realise there are 27 of them most of whom we have a trade surplus with. All of them get to vote on any deal.

The irony of all this is that it's not the EU that ultimately decides on the deal, it's 27 sovereign nations and their democratic institutions.

As ever, in the back of every brexiters mind is the notion that the EU won't survive

And therefore members will be allowed cut their own deals

All the armchair remainer economists here will have sweet fanny adams input on the final deal/no deal outcome. Your input influence was back in 2016. The majority of voters, voted to leave.

Parliament voted to have a referendum by majority, hold a referendum, voted to invoke article 50, passed the withdrawal bill.
So March 2019, the UK will of left the EU, with whatever deal/no deal that has been agreed in parliament.

No, I've been having sleepless nights about you remainers, endlessly having cyclic discussions without you seeing most of us have left the room.

Metaphorically, I see there is still a self help group of remainers when I pass the room

Lol...what a sh1tty, childish answer......Trump must be your hero. Buying something from someone is one thing...…..but for that something to be worth a trade deal is another matter completely. So, what are your items that you think are worth the EU giving the UK a trade deal?

80% of the UK exports to the EU are services......but services will simply move if need be e.g. Financial services....big banks and trading houses will move to Frankfurt if needed and the EU know this so they will not need a trade deal to make sure these services are kept

Right, so it looks like we can add neurotic and mentally fragile to the list of common traits of the typical Brexiter, alongside lower IQ and educational achievement. Can't say I'm all that surprised though, based on the form of some of the posters here.

Didn't call you any names...… Jesus Christ do you read your responses before you hit reply? Saying an answer is **** is not the same as saying you are ****.

I am saying that 80% of exports are not physical, material items....they are services such as banking and information. Which can be very easily moved as the EU know that the banking houses will move if they need to. If the EU said all EU banking services now need to be run through an EU domain it would take about 42 seconds for the big service providers to start preparations to move.

Who has ever said we have nothing to trade?

Any overall detriment to trade will hurt us more then the EU.

Your reasoning is killer. Pretty much everything the UK has that the EU want can be moved to the EU. The EU know this so would not create a trade deal as the EU would not need a deal. They would just say "from now on all access to EU financial systems will go through Frankfurt" and then every big player would leave london for Frankfurt.

No, what I'm concerned about is we are leaving the EU for the wrong reason (immigration; our government control immigration policy not the EU) with no clear approach as to how we are going to trade outside the current agreements with have as part of the EU.

In all seriousness, i think alot of folks have had enough of the EU for various reasons. where we will be in 10 years time no one can tell you.

People are either over egging the up sides or the downsides depending on their perspective and the reality is i suspect things wont change much. I seem to remember last time i went to france i had to take and show a passport (going back a few years mind you)

What we do know is people trade with the EU without free trade agreements, borders work without free trade agreements or free movement agreements.

We import and export goods from all over the world so systems can be put in place that work.

There will be some short term turmoil, but i don't think long term it will change much.
