    Pretty much how UK unions negotiate on wages, first get a strike vote and then head to the negotiating table.

    .

    UK Unions have no choice. It is UK law that a ballot is needed before any industrial action (not just a strike).
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Yes but there has been no Brexit and it might never happen.

    The EU Commision employs around 33,000 people in Brussels. After 9 years no trade deal with China has been reached.

    Let's keep matters in perspective.

    But that's not the point. What will it cost the UK? I have no interest now,in what the Commission costs, as going forward, it's not our problem. We won't be contributing to it, so my only interest is the cost to the UK.

    Coming back to my question, has anyone estimated what it will cost? Surely we are talking hundreds of millions of pounds, if not more?

    Well the UK will still have to pay their contribution until the country's actually out, so it's working out even more expensive the longer they delay...

    That may be the case, but has any expert estimated the cost? Also once we exit, what will the saving be when we get rid of the administrators, managers, etc who will no longer be needed as we aren't in the EU? I don't mean the contribution we make, but what it costs us to administer our membership.

    Doesn't look like it, does it? Or if someone has, they're keeping that quiet... It would certainly be interesting to see.

    It's you who are dreaming. It hasn't happened and it's not going to. They are just trying to work out how to backtrack.
