@iankenway I thought you were only against a no-deal brexit. Seems they created a deal so was it just any brexit you didnt want or do you not like the deal?
Hi, sorry for my tardiness in responding to your comment but I've been busy this week dealing with refugees on this island.
I think the EU has many problems, but it's my judgment that the UK has many more. I believe that the ideal of cooperation between nations, communities and individuals must always trump the more more base (if natural) desires of competition. It's good to compete up to a point (did I mention the Olympic Games?) but our humanity is best expressed through our capacity for cooperation.
If Britain had decided to leave the EU through a properly planned, forked version of the Norway model, I could have probably accepted that approach, even though it wouldn't have been as good as full EU membership. At least in my opinion!
@iankenway Fair statement, thanks for clarifying. While I am anti-EU myself and pro-trade-union I dont entierly agree but thats more philosophical than on any specific point you may have.
In my opinion leaving with a deal, or no-deal, is only the first step. They just need to get out. Once they do the EU no longer has it int he personal interest to make a shitty deal to force them to stay. After they leave the interests of the EU shift to wanting a deal for their own interests since there is no longer the motivation to force the UK hand in staying. So once they get out, shitty deal or not, I have no doubt a much better deal will form quickly.
