BREXIT - Is This Really Still Rumbling On? 😴

It’s not about that. It’s about the cost of separatism. Polling suggests there is regret around Brexit so I don’t buy your assertion that voters don’t care about economic performance.

Unlike dead people, the EU's still there, even if some people would prefer that it wasn't.

I think you are arguing against something I haven't said.

And I think it might be mildly significant that the media is getting slightly less shy about mentioning Brexit directly for problems.

Malaysia might be better off if it joined Singers though...
I'm not sure how relevant lessons from the corporate world are to be honest.

I think the Chinese would be intrigued by the idea that Taiwan is better off than them. Canadians are on average poorer than their neighbours.

You are restating the point. Taiwan/Canada being better off out of China/US does not mean that Taiwan/Canada are wealthier than China/US. It means that they are wealthier than they would be if they joined those counties.

You suggested that anyone in Texas who wanted independence was an idiot. I was making the point that Canadians are happy with independence.

They do have the equivalent of what the UK had while in the EU though.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

That's nonsense. There is no freedom of movement and no right for citizens to work in the other country. There is no parliament for the two countries (or flag or national anthem) and I would be surprised if the trade deal is actually any better than the UK currently has with the EU.

Canadians can work in the USA. Yes, they have to apply for a VISA but that is a formality unless something is dodgy.
Sad to reminded just how good a deal we had while in the EU with our exceptional clauses. Hey ho, the turkeys voted for Christmas.

Texas is a small part of one country. Quebecois separatists would be the equivalent, not Canadians.

I give up.

All this “sovereignty” is all good in theory but your choices are, in reality, defined by the realpolitik of the situation.

Tricky to understand what this new deal means. Is it simply a fudge for the DUP, has the UK decided to align more with the EU or has the EU conceded more ground to the smugglers? Part of me thinks it is a bit of everything.

don't think the eu were involved

The joint committee is expected to approve it in the coming days.

yeah, but i was thinking of this...
...saw it somewhere else a few days ago, maybe bbc, but this was what google popped up first, paywalled but you can get the gist of it
this 'deal' looks like another desperate bribe to the dup, they threw a hissy fit after being suckered by johnson's bait and switch during foster's time, mainland taxpayers foot the bill again

Reading between the lines, I think that Allister Heath isn't really a fan.
Just as well the UK has such a first-rate, clear-eyed government, and no demographic crisis.

Definitely can see why 45% of over 70s would vote for this party, give me strength.
I think it’s legitimate to say the Conservatives need to formally drop the “& unionist” part from their party name.

55% (most) don't support tories. 😉
Ha! I've been making that point for the best part of a decade. Tories only care about England.

The article does make a few good points that the EU and Rejoiners should take heed of. I didn't see you disagreeing with the contents, only that we have similar problems.

Interesting article about the causes of the European farmers protests:
Seems the EU isn't listening or learning.

Just more fantasising from the 'graph. Nothing more than spoilt French farmers doing what they always do, no? And a bunch of Farage clones seeing an opportunity.
Good to see Orban being told to sit TF down. Must be hard being a Russophile when you're reliant on EU money.

If it was just France I could understand that, but this is also happening in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.
With the main reasons being excessive regulation and red tape, much of it emanating from the EU. Has a familiar ring to it for some reason...
