Verhofstadt seems keen:

I'll be thrilled if I get to keep the rights I currently have.

Same here ....can't see why it would be a problem....we'd have to pay for associate membership of course.

You can pay for your associate membership if you want to Moby but as a country I think it very unlikely, especially in light of recent votes, that any offer will be paid for; why should we pay the EU rather than them pay us would be just one argument against.
I'd love to know how much you would be willing to pay if this were possible on a "per person" basis?

Totally get that Fran. I'd like to see what was on offer first before deciding.

The EU have yet to agree a budget for 2021-2027. Now the 2nd largest contributor is leaving the club. Be interesting to see who steps up to the table. With Germany, the largest contributor, tettering on the brink of recession. Times are going to challenging.

That isn't an argument, that is a question. I assume the answer to that question will slowly dawn on you as brexit progresses, I don't want to spoil the ending for you.

It depends on what advantages it offers, if I'm able to have the full benefit of EU membership then quite a lot. That "£350 million a week" was worth much more in what return it gave us.

France is leaving the EU?

Our 13% of the budget will have to be taken up by the other 27 countries. Maybe they'd do 0.5% each?

Times are indeed looking interesting, but while you might be willing on the EU collapsing as a way of justifying our act of self harm. I'm not sure you're going to be satisfied with the result.

This thread is titled
“Brexit the Economy and house prices”
It is not about the economy of the EU.
Now the withdrawal bill has been passed by the British Parliament we need to concentrate on the Trade deal and the British economy and house prices.

Brexiters by wanting to post about the EU seem to want us all to look away from Britain.
Brexit is about Britain.

In fact I have started a new thread so that Brexiters and others can discuss the EU economy without Britain. Enjoy.

Brexiters by wanting to post about the EU seem to want us all to look away from Britain.

IMO they also want to get back our worldwide viewpoint that seems to have been gradually eroded.

Net contributor.

France has benifited for years under the CAP.
