So you think the UK should leave the EU but should continue to have free trade with EU countries? If that’s the case then I agree. Leaving won’t hurt them at all.
But that of course will never happen. The French and the Germans believe that free trade is only “fair” if the same rules apply to everyone. That’s why they have bureaucrats in Brussels creating the rules.
If I understand you correctly you want the UK to dump the bureaucrats and the rules but keep their access to the EU market. Well, that of course would be the perfect outcome and the UK would prosper at the expense of all the countries following the rules.
But if France and Germany allow this to happen I think you can undetstand that every European country abiding by the EU rules might feel like they are getting cheated and would want to leave.
I’m betting that the UK will be isolated (trade barriers will go up), divided (Scotland and Northern Ireland will choose the EU over the UK. France and Germany will give them whatever they want to make it happen) and will face economic ruin. But this is of course pure speculation on my part. The outcome of the negotiations that will take place now will determine what will happen. Will Boris Johnson represent the UK in the negotiations? I forsee a train wreck but I could be wrong.
A freer and liberated people are always the best choice and always the more prosperous people. Don’t worry so much.
“I forsee a train wreck but I could be wrong.”
Your last statement should have been your first. To the elites, this is nothing more than butt hurt disdain for those who choose to map their own destiny, period. They will try to intimate and obfuscate their way into punishing those who chose to be the writers of their future, not a bunch of self appointed bureaucrats answerable to nobody.
What they are totally devoid of is the knowledge that, left to their own devices, the cream will rise to the top of the New Britain not because of cultural placement but because the Trump vision is taking hold. Smart deals that benefit everyone, not some un-elected pointy head in Brussels who could give a crap about anyone but their own feather nest, ala, Hillary Clinton.
The gig is up on their Soros steered Globalist Politburo wet dream and it is, as always, blunted by the self determination and resiliency of individual spirit, more commonly known as the human spirit. The Declaration of Independence says it best and most completely;
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
