[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 3369634, member: 8735"] One of the most important skills any negotiator can have is to judge, correctly, when to walk away from a negotiation. If the other party either does not enter negotiations with good will or will not accept your red line(s), there is no point in further 'negotiations'. The EU is used to getting its own way, usually by bullying or sulking, and when that hasn't worked by simple imposition. The Brexit vote is the first time, I'll repeat that, the [B]first[/B] time it has had something [U]not[/U] go its way that it can't overturn. Past referenda regarding and affecting the EU, that have given the 'wrong' answer were re-run; the ERM became the Euro; and all moves from member states to defend their [U]national[/U] interests have been brushed aside - usually by an initial compromise and then later by the Commission sending down a 'Directive' or 'Regulation' which couldn't be rejected or even appealed against. They, the EU and its acolytes, don't like what has happened, they are frightened by it, they want to stop possible 'contagion', and they know they can't stop it so they will do what other in that position who, hitherto, have always had their own way - they will argue like hell and then try to get revenge. Unless, of course, common sense erupts and their economic interests take precedence over their dogma. [/QUOTE]
