@@ChibiViolin the US and EU have various trade agreements, but they are limited in scope, it does not include a customs union nor does it allow free movement of goods as both the EU and the US have different regulatory frameworks. Also various tariffs still apply on both ends. There was an attempt to broaden US-EU trade via a broader agreement called TTIP which was firsf voted down by the EU Parliament for it having too many regulatory concessions and it was sent back for further negotiations. As TTIP would have imposed various EU rules on US companies Trump shut down further negotiations (even tho US companies were actually in favor of it). I think you might have been thinking of the EU-Canada deal known as CETA, which is just another very comprehensive Free-Trade agreement. It eliminates most tariffs (not all) on currently traded goods, aligns Canada with EU copyright rules but maintains all preexisting EU regulations as well as border controls. The Canada deal took nearly 10 years to strike as negotiations started in 2008. Copying the Canada deal would not solve most of the UKs Brexit problems as it would still impose border controls on imports and exports (preserving the 4 Freedoms) would still impose some tariffs and would still not provide any solution to the Irish border problem. The only realistic option for Britain is going the Norway route. Accepting the 4 Freedoms and essentially downgrading itself from a rule making voting member into a rule taking non-voting annex.

@@ChibiViolin there's a couple of problems with that logic. First while the US and EU are fairly equal negotiating partners the EU and Britain are not. The Irish border is mostly a political and constitutional problem for Britain and not for the EU. The Good Friday Agreement is part of the UK constitution. Breaching it causes significant political, legal and economic issues. But the biggest border problem in economic terms is at Calais. The British economy NEEDS a free flow of goods to remain functional. As in it needs no physical customs. The EU has prepared infrastructure to deal with imposing border controls while Britain has not. The second issue is in the area of services, which require passporting. Without a deal there is no passporting. Britain needs the EU to agree to no customs or tariffs which the EU made clear that it won't agree to without free movement and regulatory alignment. But then again, I'm wasting my time because it's clear you neither understand what is beinf discussed nor are you willing to learn.

@@MikeBenko No I'm finding this quite educational. You say there can be no passporting but that strikes both ways. It's also my understanding that the UK enjoys a trade deficit with the EU so if not in the short term, in long term at least the EU will suffer greatly due to lack of access to our market. As to Ireland if the UK makes no move to enact restrictions to the border then the impetus falls to the EU and Ireland. The Good Friday deal remains intact and it's up to NI as to how they wish to proceed as is their* right.

And now it's about respect?! Where was the respect to the EU with "Go whistle" (BoJo) and all that nonsense? And what did May expect? Chequers was examined and rejected shortly after it was published. She went behind Barnier's back - but Barnier gets his orders from the EU27. If they want him to soften is stance they would've already told him. I can just urge the British people to look into something else than the British press when it comes to EU related issues. Because you don't learn anything about them and how they work and what they actually stand for as it seems. Oh, btw - Jean-Claude Juncker and the Commission don't run the EU.

The problem now is the same problem we had two years ago: Brexit is an unworkable idea. Cameron only agreed to a referendum because he was scared of Farage, the Tories never dreamed they'd actually have to lead Britain out of the EU, and the voting public never dreamed that we'd actually leave, which is why so many people voted leave not because they thought it was a good idea, but to register some sort of vague protest. So now we're in a situation where we're leaving despite the fact that its a bad idea, and despite the fact that many people had no idea what they were voting for, and despite the fact that the government never had a workable plan to begin with. Common sense says we should have a second referendum once a plan has been agreed upon, but almost all the politicians are ruling that out because they're too cowardly. So we're going to find ourselves in a situation where we end up leaving in a way which no-one gets a say on, and probably no-one will be happy with the result. It's absolutely insane.

About half of the country made a stupid voting decision, and then despite the fact that it was supposed to be an advisory referendum, cowardly politicians went ahead with it because they were afraid of the populist press. And I don't see how the UK making a democratic decision to remain would bolster the image of the EU as a dictatorship - although if the EU is really worried about that, they'll give more power to the elected parliament and take power away from all the un-elected elements. That would also take away a great deal of animosity towards the EU with all the populists, it would make the whole thing more democratically accountable.

As far as I'm concerned, we have a democratic right to a people's vote in which we can either agree to the government's plan, accept a no deal, or choose to remain. Nothing undemocratic about that. And I'm not all that concerned about the EU court or the EU 27, if we choose to stay they'd be cutting off their own nose by refusing.

Wakey Current State of Affairs Currently, Scotland is already wealthier than the UK [Ref 3]. Scotland’s current economy is £163.8bn compared to the UK’s overall £1,908.4bn; this means per capita Scotland has £30,196 and the UK has £28,662. This means the average Scot is £1,534 wealthier than the UK average, or £2,039 wealthier than those in the rest of the UK. This would make Scotland the 15th richest country per capita in the world, or the 46th richest country in the world. Taxation & Expenditure Scotland currently loses billions in taxes each year to the UK [Ref 4]. Scotland contributes £10,700 in taxes each year to the UK per capita, compared to the UK average of £9,000; this means Scotland contributes £1,900 more per capita. The Barnett Formula sees Scotland get back £1,500 [ref 12] more than the UK expenditure average out with deficit of £9,000. This means Scotland loses £400 per capita to the UK each year, or the equivalent of almost £2.2bn in taxes. This means Scotland, each year, loses billions of pounds in taxes each year that it would otherwise have to spend if it were independent. Trade Scotland is the only country in the UK, apart from Northern Ireland, to be self sufficient in terms of trade; in fact its the only UK Crown Region, again part from Northern Ireland, to have a positive balance of trade. This means that Scotland exports more goods than it imports, even more than that of London, a region and city in which its economy is based on indirect trading [Ref 1]. Scotland’s largest export partner was the Netherlands and Norway for Imports (NI’s statistics were so high because both imports and exports were dominated by the Republic). Scotland’s balance of trade is +2.81 compared to the UK’s -6.48 or the rUK’s -7.35; this leaves Scotland’s GDPpc as £31,044 and the UK’s £26,806 [Ref 1]. Already we export more to the EU than the UK. A large portion of “UK trade” isn’t even with the UK, its called indirect trading. Many countries do this as it may work out cheaper to export to another country’s port or hub in order to export it to their buyer. This is currently what FedEx and delivery companies do, by transporting the goods to their hub or indirect ports to make it cheaper and more efficient. This roughly makes up over a third of all UK trade. This means that the claimed 60% trade that goes to the rest of the UK is actually only 40%, and the remaining trade is 40% to the EU and 20% to the rest of the world. So although the UK is still our largest trading partner, so too is the EU, and without a trade deal, this will heavily damage our trade with the rest of the world too; Ireland trades more so with the UK and the rest of the world than the EU but its fully integrated economy has only benefited from this, so why can’t Scotland follow in its footsteps.

As president Macron rightfully states “ Brexit is the choice of the British people pushed by those who predicted easy solutions. Those people are liars” Furthermore Brexit was driven by elected British politicians based on fake facts or half truth at best and based on a view on the place of the UK in the world from the past. British people made a choice. A choice is like a coin. A coin with a yield side and a cost side and both sides are inseparable. Meaning if you go for the yield the cost comes with it, like it or not. The cost is for the one who made the choice and for nobody else. Moreover EU rules are not a supermarket where you can pick just what you like and that is something many UK politicians never seem to understand.

Do you know how long it takes to get a trade deal? 10 years. That's with a SINGLE country, not 27. In the interim, the EU has other regional trading partners it can do business with. The UK does not, the best it can hope for is trade under WTO rules which means tariffs, border patrol, customs inspections, unfavorable trading terms, and lesser trade overall. Time is NOT on your side.

fun bit about that is that if two countries/entities have free trade deals with each other they usually have to consult the other side if another trade deal with a third country runs counter to their special relationship. The UK will stumble over Canada, Japan and others having made pretty intricate trade deals with the EU and thus cannot simply sign the same thing with the UK.

Yeah you keep talking about the WTO and so on. But that doesn’t fix the Northern Ireland issue. You see in order to trade under the WTO you need a hard border and customs checks so you would not even meet the requirements to be a member of the WTO.

I've seen several british politicians saying, that they don't want customs checks, hard borders, border patrols and so on under WTO conditions, but that'd be a breach of WTO rules, which would either cause the WTO to not accept the UK as a member, expell it, or put the whole country under punitive sanctions. The UK would join countries like North Korea and Turkmenistan. This is insanity.

Adam the immigration issue is a fantasy myth. first immigration has been going down for years even before the ref. second article 7 of the EU on residence is: All Union citizens shall have the right of residence on the territory of another Member State for a period of longer than three months if they: (a) are workers or self-employed persons in the host Member State; or have sickness insurance. if any of these have not met they can be told to leave Britain. Now if the then home sec uhh who was that now Theresa May doesn't do her job then its the fault of our government. this is why strawberry fruit pickers only come during the summer a example. we have been taken down the tory river for 10 odd years mate. i voted leave but nobody told me a scooby doo about anything and thats my fault but now . and about Japan they take in 10000 per year they like us have signed the UN refugee pact.

The feeling there's some hurt with the EU 27 on UK leaving motivating a united front is real. The EU 6 welcomed the UK in 1972 although there were systemic differences between the UK en the first 6 on social issues. Since then the European project has been UK driven towards a single market based on the UK's concept of free market capitalism.. EU members wrecked their social systems to conform with the hardcore market driven approach while watching UK killing any social initiative and gaining exception after exception to keep them aboard. Following 45 years of social obstruction, on finalizing free for all market capitalism, the UK wants to leave any remaining vestige of a social Europe program ánd keeping all windfalls of the free market. Any wonder Europe feels a little bit betrayed by the UK? And sees the chance to revive the social part of the European project once the UK has gone?

Absolutely true. The EEC with Euratom and EGKS was instated as the project to get France and Germany cooperating in the post double world war era. Link countries and people and war would be unthinkable was the idea. The Market opportunities evolved and in the early seventies the pie became to sweet for UK to keep out. The Benelux, Atlantics in core wanted a balancing partner to the perceived growing too cushy French German relations. They are and were a staunch supporter to bring/keep the UK in and for most UK positions since 1972. I'm Dutch and we came to the Europe project from WO2 occupation. We forgot UK came to the EU with a victor mentality. For UK it has always been less about peace on the continent. Culminating in the rejection of everything social about Europe while venerating the Market. It's telling that this is the only thing 45 years of Europe created that Brexiteers are fighting for.

And as a country that has a different history and therefore a different take on the concept sovereignty I can understand why the social part of the EU feels restricting for the UK. The core of the EU was formed by losers who are/were driven by a never again mentality. Even though this is eroding in the early 6 as well after 45 year of focus on market, the perception of Europe as more than a market remains strong.

Read all the comments by Erwin Veenhoven, I completely agree with him. As a French, coming from a country which vetoed twice the UK entering the EEC, I stand by General De Gaulle's assessment in 1963 on the fundamental difference of perception between the UK and mainland Europe. For the UK, the EEC and the EU ought to be a common market playing to its strenghs in trade and for other european countries, it was the "ever closer union" of the Treaty of Rome. Nitpicking, delaying and reluctance from the UK to be "all in" is perceived as a betrayal.

We mosttimes forget the UK is not France or Germany only hidden behind a wider river. The lack of availability of commercial TV stations adds to a very BBC, Dr Who, Newsnight impression. Just like we think we understand America from media we make the same mistake with the UK. I guess from the other side of the channel it's not very different.

President Macron was right. We are in this place because of liars. We are STILL being held hostage to their lies. The overwhelming feeling I got listening to Theresa May's speech was that the liars and extremists continue to be the tail wagging the dog. May was humiliated, partly due to her own inflexibility and dogmatic approach, but also in large part because of trying to do the impossible and bring together fundamentally opposed factions in her own party and the wider country. Until the lies and senseless rhetoric stops, there can be no progress and no solution, and this needs to start from the top. We need a PM who can step forward and be honest with the British people about all this. No more inflammatory rhetoric, no more BS, no more threats or platitudes, no more saying whatever nonsense is necessary to stay in power. Sadly, I don't see much chance of that from ANY party anytime soon. We're here in this position because of the disgusting state of our national politics, not because of the EU.

alan m Much of the pamphlet which was sent to "every household in Britain" is given below. I have read it and I have referred to it several times over the years. I cannot deal with every issue here but considering the CAP, _"Most CAP funding (more than three-quarters) is delivered to farmers in the form of direct payments, known as the CAP’s first pillar. This land-based payment scheme aims to support farms’ income based on the size of their operation and the environmental measures they take."_ I was friends with a farmer who farmed close to 100 acres in the early 1990's and he used to laugh at being paid a great deal to leave his fields empty and without growing crops, I hesitate to use the term fallow which is a requirement for allowing the fields to regenerate. This was not the case. The pamphlet mentions food at fair prices. It makes no mention of the EU tariffs on food or that we would need to pay more for imported food from Europe. It does mention, "To help the poorest regions of Europe and the rest of the world" but it doesn't mention that we would one day be paying huge amounts to bail these countries out of there dire economic situation. This pamphlet was produced prior to the Iron Curtain being demolished and the consequent fact that we would be spending many billions of pounds in order to bring them up to the level of the west, nor does it mention that in order to do so we would suffer for decades, economic hardship in so doing. It doesn't mention how undemocratic this union would turn out to be. (Now there's a subject!) It goes on about "fair prices". Really? When we could buy, had we not remained, food far cheaper on the global markets. It mentions the government winning a better deal on food imports from the Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand. Absolute rubbish as we witness today. We are not allowed to freely trade with other countries, Commonwealth or not, without being penalised for doing so. It says, _"Britain, as a member, will be able to seek further changes to our advantage."_ More rubbish! I could go on. It was pure speculation at best! As said, I don't need to look it up .... I was 20 years old in 1975 ... I didn't vote because I was, like the young of today, not interested in politics. I should have done, as should we all. Just read what it says below and compare it to the reality of today. If I tackled every point on this pamphlet I'd be typing for many hours! The aims of the Common Market are: To bring together the peoples of Europe. To raise living standards and improve working conditions. To promote growth and boost world trade. To help the poorest regions of Europe and the rest of the world. To help maintain peace and freedom. _"'I believe that our renegotiation objectives have been substantially though not completely achieved.' What were the main objectives to which Mr. Wilson referred? The most important were FOOD and MONEY and JOBS."_ _"Britain had to ensure that shoppers could get secure supplies of food at fair prices. As a result of these negotiations the Common Agricultural policy (known as CAP) now works more flexibly to the benefit of both housewives and farmers in Britain. The special arrangements made for sugar and beef are a good example. At the same time many food prices in the rest of the world have shot up, and our food prices are now no higher because Britain is in the Market than if we were outside. The Government also won a better deal on food imports from countries outside the Common Market, particularly for Commonwealth sugar and for New Zealand dairy products. These will continue to be on sale in our shops.This is not the end of improvements in the Market's food policy. There will be further reviews. Britain, as a member, will be able to seek further changes to our advantage. And we shall be more sure of our supplies when food is scarce in the world."_ _"MONEY AND JOBS."_ _"Under the previous terms, Britain's contribution to the Common Market budget imposed too heavy a burden on us. The new terms ensure that Britain will pay a fairer share. We now stand, under the Dublin agreement, to get back from Market funds up to £125 million a year. There was a threat to employment in Britain from the movement in the Common Market towards an Economic & Monetary Union. This could have forced us to accept fixed exchange rates for the pound, restricting industrial growth and putting jobs at risk. This threat has been removed. Britain will not have to put VAT on necessities like food. We have also maintained our freedom to pursue our own policies on taxation and on industry, and to develop Scotland and Wales and the Regions where unemployment is high."_ _"It has been said that the Commonwealth countries would like to see us come out. This is not so. The reverse is true. Commonwealth Governments want Britain to stay in the Community. The new Market terms include a better deal for our Commonwealth partners as well as for Britain. Twenty-two members of the Commonwealth are among the 46 countries who signed a new trade and aid agreement with the Market earlier this year. Britain is insisting that Market aid for the poorer areas of the world must go to those in most need. Here is what Commonwealth leaders have said about Britain's role in the Market:"_ It goes on to give statements from heads of Commonwealth countries which say they want us to remain in the EEC. _"Another anxiety expressed about Britain's membership of the Common Market is that Parliament could lose its supremacy, and we would have to obey laws passed by unelected 'faceless bureaucrats' sitting in their headquarters in Brussels."_ What are the facts? (Spare me for fuck's sake!) _"Fact No. 1 is that in the modern world even the Super Powers like America and Russia do not have complete freedom of action. Medium-sized nations like Britain are more and more subject to economic and political forces we cannot control on our own."_ _"A striking recent example of the impact of such forces is the way the Arab oil-producing nations brought about an energy and financial crisis not only in Britain but throughout a great part of the world. Since we cannot go it alone in the modern world, Britain has for years been a member of international groupings like the United Nations, NATO and the International Monetary Fund."_ _"Membership of such groupings imposes both rights and duties, but has not deprived us of our national identity, or changed our way of life. Membership of the Common Market also imposes new rights and duties on Britain, but does not deprive us of our national identity. To say that membership could force Britain to eat Euro-bread or drink Euro-beer is nonsense."_ _"Fact No. 2. No important new policy can be decided in Brussels or anywhere else without the consent of a British Minister answerable to a British Government and British Parliament. The top decision-making body in the Market is the Council of Ministers, which is composed of senior Ministers representing each of the nine member governments. It is the Council of Ministers, and not the market's officials, who take the important decisions. These decisions can be taken only if all the members of the Council agree. The Minister representing Britain can veto any proposal for a new law or a new tax if he considers it to be against British interests. Ministers from the other Governments have the same right to veto."_ _"All the nine member countries also agree that any changes or additions to the Market Treaties must be acceptable to their own Governments and Parliaments. Remember: All the other countries in the Market today enjoy, like us, democratically elected Governments answerable to their own Parliaments and their own voters. They do not want to weaken their Parliaments any more than we would."_ _"Fact No. 3. The British Parliament in Westminster retains the final right to repeal the Act which took us into the Market on January 1, 1973. Thus our continued membership will depend on the continuing assent of Parliament. The White Paper on the new Market terms recently presented to Parliament by the Prime Minister declares that through membership of the Market we are better able to advance and protect our national interests. This is the essence of sovereignty."_ _"Fact No. 4. On April 9, 1975, the House of Commons voted by 396 to 170 in favour of staying in on the new terms."_ _"Your vote will not only affect you life and you neighbours' lives. It will affect your children's lives. It will chart - for better or for worse - Britain's future."_

It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament. 3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period. 4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.

For you to say that these institutions are democratically elected is pathetic. You are wrong. The House of Lords is unelected and has little say in our system, even Nick Clegg, who is ardent pro- EU said of this shower, _"The House of Lords is a flawed institution with no democratic mandate, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said today as he opened the Government’s case to reform it."_ ... but my MP was directly elected by the constituents of the area he or she stood for and I knew, when I voted, which *person I was voting for and what views they had* ... unlike with the EP. I can visit him or her any time I want to. I can sit and speak with my MP. That is democracy! Are you aware that MEP's when "electing" an EU President of the EP, have only two options on their *secret* ballot paper? These options are, to vote "in favour" of ... or to "abstain". *There is no option to vote against.* If many abstentions occur and on two occasions, then the President is simply appointed ... and not elected!!

newchan So you're saying that because YOUR country's process to vote in MEPs doesn't offer you the option to elect a specific person (even if they're the last candidate on their party's list), the EU is undemocratic? Don't make me laugh. Even a post-socialist country like Slovenia offers the option of the preferential vote for MEPs, and it has happened before that a candidate who was not the party's first pick got into the EP. The Commission is nominated by elected people (unless your national government is unelected) and confirmed by elected people (unless your national process to elect MEPs doesn't let you do that). That's plenty democratic. Please, remind me, how many people voted for Theresa May to be PM? And we could even go to the "bastion of democracy that is the US", where people's votes are literally irrelevant in several states that don't have a law that binds electors to mirror the popular vote in presidential elections. The Commission also doesn't make the EU law alone. Unless the MEPs and the Council sign off on it, i.e. the people who were democratically elected in their countries, unless their countries are only pretending to be democratic (*cough UK cough*), the Commission can't do diddly squat. If YOUR MEPs don't hold office hours for their constituents, that again shows that YOUR country suffers from a deep democratic deficit. Our MEPs most certainly do hold such hours, and I've personally spoken to 2 of our 8 MEPs on several ocassions. They're a quite reachable bunch, also reply to emails, tweets... I didn't know that the UK has the option "none of the above" on the ballots when electing their MPs. Nor any other country. This is very much news to me, I'm sure you can provide me with a photo of such a ballot from a recent UK election? Seriously, hearing talk about democracy from a country where half the people you hear about internationally have "Lord" in front of their name is kind of hilarious xD

Justine Greening and many others are actually working against Britain in my opinion. the EU is rejecting every negotiating proposals, because they have many pro-European lobbyist MP's like her in the parliament and the house of lords. if the MP's stay united, Europe will have to agree to a deal.

That's exactly what's been happening. The War criminal Blair is heavily behind it.

Let Scotland go independent, let Ireland unify. Brexit is a shambles and there’s no point in letting ourselves get dragged down with it. Anyone from the rest of the UK wanting to remain within the EU is more than welcome up here in Scotland. You’re our family and our friends, and we’d rather see you up here, than remain within a failing corrupt country like the UK.
