We need a real threat to the EU , and no deal is it .

No deal is a bigger threat to us than the EU and they know it. UK trade is worth a few percent of the EU economy, EU trade is worth 13% of our economy. The EU needs our money but it could survive without our trade.We need a real threat to the EU , and no deal is it .

Agrivator, if we leave without a deal on March 29th then we default to trading under WTO terms. I am no expert on international trade but I believe this means we are obliged to charge import tariffs on goods on goods from the EU and the EU have to charge tariffs on goods from the UK. Trade can not possibly continue as normal on goods that high tariffs apply to. As I understand it WTO rules prevent favored nation trading, a deal the UK and EU can not simply choose to wave tariffs on each others goods whilst maintaining tariffs barriers for goods from other countries. I keep raising this point but I know a director who imports many of his components from the EU and exports most of his product to customers in the EU. That business can not afford to continue to manufacture in the UK if we leave on WTO rules. WTO will cost jobs, WTO without 2 years for businesses to prepare, time to develop new supply chains and new markets, will result in the loss of many, many jobs. The figures tell me 13% of our Economy is derived from trade with the EU, if we lost even 1/5 of that trade because of tariff barriers it would mean the fastest, deepest and probably longest economic recession in our history. Note that only 3-4% of the European economy comes from trade with the EU, the EU fear the loss of our money but not the loss of our trade.
Those pushing for Brexit at any cost either fail to grasp this or they simply don't care. If I am wrong then I would be delighted for one of you Brexit at all cost folk to better educate me, please!
I’m happy to be convinced otherwise but our economy is more reliant on EU trade than the EU economy being reliant on us, the numbers are the numbersI'm not sure I agree with that theory .

Waiting on clarity, waiting on some kind of deal.. we were told repeatedly by the leave campaign “”it will be the easiest trade deal in history” That is what we were sold, that is the Brexit for which there is a mandate. WTO was never on the table during the leave campaign, there can be no mandate for that without putting it back to the public.People/business have had two years to prepare, what have they been doing?
So we could trade cars freely with the EU but only if we also trade them freely with China. We can trade beef freely with the EU but only if we also trade it freely with the USA. Also you miss my point.. if we have free trade from the world we can not have free trade into the EU or we become a backdoor shipping route into Europe, Europe can not and will not accept that.You have not interrupted my post correctly. Under WTO rules, the UK can reduce or have no tariffs on any goods it so chooses, it is not an all or nothing system.
I hardly think they are magically going to permit entry of anything and everything, why would they? Product entering the UK does so by coming to the UK from it's destination country, it doesn't pass through the EU first to get their seal of approval.
You are living in some kind of protectionist idyll, what should we expect, most farmers are sh!t-scared of the world because they have no clue about how other countries do what they do.
But we won’t have any other deals in place on March 29th 2019 or March 2020 or March 2021...It's reliant because we're not allowed to do deals of our own .
Why has this thread suddenly been moved after all this time where it was?!
