After all, the main instigators of the EU - Germany, is in recession, Italy is almost bankrupt and France has experienced months of civil unrest against the French elite.Do tell me why we would ever want to remain in a ship that has been holed and sinking?

The effects you describe are temporary, look and behold how an economic union buffers these effects.

Re: Switzerland getting EU treatment similar to the UK.
As will be any detrimental effect if there is one here. Nothing is going to happen permanently never does, things change. Wasn't that long ago Germany was held up as something special now not so much. We are an Island race something Europe has never seemed to understand, we have always stood alone and want to do that again as it's in our blood. Well in most of us some seem to have forgotten their roots.19-03-2019, 04:14 PM

We are a small trading nation we have to trade with other large nations in order to survive.
Wait till we are forced to accept the ISDS system with a USA deal and USA corporations start to sue the UK government when we threaten their profits.

From that article
"
Brexit
As mentioned earlier, the United Kingdom is the largest net contributor to the EU after Germany. The UK’s planned withdrawal from the EU is therefore likely to have serious consequences for monetary flows withing the EU. Since the UK is a net contributor, Brexit may leave a gap in the EU budget which needs to be filled by the other member states.
Therefore, the CBS survey also projects what EU funding would have been like in recent years had the United Kingdom not been a member. Subsequently, the possible impact on Dutch contributions is outlined in several scenarios, as well as the additional contributions required from the Netherlands if there had not been a British EU membership."

I would be very careful bragging about the greatness of the EU as a union. Have you never heard of the saying "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". It has always been the same with dictatorships.

Re: Switzerland getting EU treatment similar to the UK.
It will be interesting to see whether the EU will even want to grant us an extension with the thought in their minds that dozens of British MEP's will be helping to choose the next esteemed leaders in the EU Parliament commencing in July. That should be interesting. Besides, it only takes one EU member to use their veto.Perhaps the EU's intransigence and their belief that being a powerful 27, they could afford to play hardball with the UK over Brexit, will come back to haunt them. No-one will deserve it more.
Next, I hope those found wanting in our own Parliament will get their just rewards too.
