Re: United Europe
Hi
I simply do not understand the logic of anyone wanting a No Deal.
It makes absolutely no sense at all.
It would leave us as the only major economy in the world without a single trade deal, nobody else has ever done this, simply because it is stupid.
The rest of the world does not trade solely under WTO Rules, it trades under WTO Rules with Free Trade Agreements.
A No Deal would put us at a great disadvantage, all our exports would be subject to Tariffs.
It would hand a huge advantage to the EU, who have Trade Deals with some of the biggest economies in the world.
We would have to negotiate these deals ourselves and this takes years.
We simply do not have the capacity to negotiate numerous Trade Deals simultaneously.
We have been offered a Canada style deal with the EU.
We should take it and move on.
If Varadkar insists that Ireland will veto it, we should make it perfectly clear to him that we will end the Common Travel Area, which will destroy his economy and partition Ireland.
He would not survive politically if this happened.
Just my views, I will no doubt get shot down again, I am well used to it.
Two can play hardball.
