When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

Cabinet coup as Mayhem's hills are alive.

There will be no Brexit. In five years you'll get fed up and realise it is impossible. Since Labour will reflect the opinion of the public in the next election even if it means a U turn on Brexit, and with the Tories in the shit ready to lose the next election because of their disastrous negotiations, you won't leave.

The EU27 and their chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, have been relatively precise about conditions: a transition must be limited in time and if it involves an extension of EU single market law, it comes with existing EU obligations.

According to the EU negotiating directives, that means applying “existing Union regulatory, budgetary, supervisory, judiciary and enforcement instruments and structures”.

If Britain yields to all these terms, it could be relatively simple to negotiate. The UK would have to accept free movement, the jurisdiction of the European Court, pay into the EU budget for up to three years, and apply new EU laws. But it would have no say; Britain would lose its voting rights, its MEPs and its European commissioner.

Why wasn't this page found?

This page is hosted by a foreign web server and is therefore banned to ensure the supremacy of our own software.



We asked some leading economists.

Stagflation i
The cost of pages rose drastically, while the page production rate slowed down.

General economics
There was no market for it.

Liquidity traps
We injected some extra money into the technology team but there was little or no interest so they simply kept it, thus failing to stimulate the page economy.

Pareto inefficiency
There exists another page that will make everyone better off without making anyone worse off.

Supply and demand i
Demand increased and a shortage occurred.

Classical economics
There is no such page. We are not going to interfere.

Keynesian economics
Aggregate demand for this page did not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the website.

Malthusianism i
Unchecked, exponential page growth outstripped the pixel supply.
There was a catastrophe, and now the population is at a lower, more sustainable level.

Neo-Malthusianism i
To avoid unchecked, exponential page growth outstripping the pixel supply and leading to an inevitable catastrophe, we prevented this page from being conceived.

Marxism i
The failure of this page to load is a consequence of the inherent contradictions in the capitalist mode of production.

Laissez Faire Capitalism
We know this page is needed, but we can't force anyone to make it.

Monetarism i
The government has limited the number of pages in circulation.

Efficient Markets Hypothesis i
If you had paid enough for the page, it would have appeared.

Moral Hazard i
Showing you this page would only encourage you to want more pages.

Tragedy of the Commons i
Everyone wanted to view this page, but no-one was willing to maintain it.

Game theory i
By not viewing this page you help everyone else get better pages.

Mercantilism i
The page is hosted by a foreign web server and is therefore banned to ensure the supremacy of our own software.

Trickle-down
High taxes on content publishers prevented them hiring the person who would have written this page.

Speculative bubble
The page never actually existed and was fundamentally impossible, but everyone bought into it in a frenzy and it's all now ending in tears.

Socialism
If you were to get the page you wanted you might get a better page than someone else, which would be unfair. This way at least everyone gets the same.

Behavioural economics i
The influence of psychological factors caused you to act in a manner that would not be expected of a purely rational actor.

Theory of the second best i
The best outcome was unachievable, so you have arrived here instead.

Hi

I accept everything you say Flicker, it would be a disaster for our UK Economy.

What would it mean to France?

The loss of GCHQ, the ones who identified and tracked your Bataclan and Nice attackers whilst your much vaunted Intelligence Services, all 9 of them, were still arguing amongst themselves.

£10 billion a year should cover it, just from France, even more from Germany.

The hardware and algorithms are ours, they belong to the UK Government,naff all to do with the EU, so play hardball, see what happens.

''When is a Brexit not a Brexit?''
'Brexit' doesn't exist,it is a silly made up word .

We are however leaving the European Union and it can't come soon enough for me or anyone else who wants our elected government to take charge of Great Britain and our own finances .

Re: When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

Re: When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

Say goodbye to jobs and cheap food as well, back to the stone age we go.

Re: When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

I think some foods have to go up to give a reasonable living to people making them or picking them. Tea worries me its pennies so how much do the pickers and packers earn ?

Re: When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

That's just it.
It isn't coming.

You'll thank someone who saved you from yourselves in the future.

Re: When is a Brexit not a Brexit?

France doesn't rely on the UK anymore than the UK relies on France for security.
That is another good reason to stay in the EU. Mutual security.

As an aside I heard an interview with the new Council President this morning who said the UK was not unprepared...but that he had had a conversation with Mr. Barnier who knew how many dogs and cats had passed thru Europe last year...ie the UK may be prepared but the EU is PREPARED.
