If we vote for Brexit what happens

There is no way we'll have a trade deal in place in 2 years, and there is no way the 2 years will get extended.

Both of these things require unanimous approval of the EU27. Some random town in some random EU nation will decide it doesn't want to compete with UK widget manufacturers and cause it to be vetoed (see CETA).

You are confusing a new deal like CETA with all it's unknown impacts, with EXISTING perfectly acceptable 2 - way trade in place, where all parties already know the day to day realities and impacts


A Wallonian farmer already enjoying supplying wheat to the UK see's this as real and present income, not some far off potential contract he might get to supply a Canadian bread maker one day. The last thing he wants is some noble gesture to 'punish' the UK and wipe out his wheat sales to Sainsbury's

I'd like to chime in on this.

I voted leave, but I don't believe this for a second.

If a politician had said the moon was made of cheese, or that the earth is flat, during the campaigns it doesn't make it so.

That's not what was on the ballot paper.

There needs to be some recognition that the leave vote was a (I hate this phrase..) broad church of opinion. I align very much with Daniel Hannan's view, that EEA/EFTA would be perfectly acceptable so long as we were in control of our trade arrangements, not subject to the whims of another 27 member states, or even regions within them.

The BBC Daily Politics have put together a video of every single major politician saying "a vote to Leave was a vote to Leave the single market.". Daniel Hannah was the exception.

French plan to steal business from Brexit Britain undermined by World Bank rating

Despite efforts at economic reform, its position actually dropped one place since last year


France was rated 29th in the world for "ease of doing business", behind less economically developed countries such as Georgia, Latvia and Macedonia.

But both sides did say this
It was perfectly clear that a 'soft Brexit' was more or less what Cameron was trying but failed to negotiate.
After that it was all or nothing and the politicians did all make that clear even if there lies and some of their methods were dodgy.
I personally agree with free movement and trade but find the political union a bit sinister and I think it has to become ever more united to work
The current system is unfair and unbalance
But that wasn;t on the ballot

Tbh if "The City" and the EU keep trying "to punish" the UK consumer by pushing down the pound and creating inflation- then in two and a half years there will be no trade with the EU to worry about....that wheat seller will have lost his/her contract and it will have come back home.

A lot can happen in 2 and a half years and the amount of trade could well fall fast with the EU...

...of course, the UK exporter is now much more competitively priced....maybe he can sell wheat to Wallonia and the rest of the EU...
