The only real penalty to leaving without a deal will be that we shall have to trade under WTO rules, at least for a time. So what? Trade will still continue, and we shall be able to create our own deals with countries all over the world to our mutual benefit AND without having to pay the EU through the nose for doing so.
No. Brexit is not just like a divorce. I see it as an individual resigning his/her membership of a club. You give a notification period, pay your membership fees up to the date you leave, and then you just leave without any penalties. You don't have to agree not to join any other clubs, you don't have to hand over your house or your job, and you don't have to suffer threats and demands.
Brexit is simply a country electing to leave an empire, just as many countries around the world left the British Empire. If any punitive payments were made in those cases, it would have been the British paying the newly independent countries much money presumably 'to help get them started'.
The EU has shown itself to be a power-hungry dictatorship and I can never see myself agreeing to anything they demand.
I believe that the EU has conned all the people by not letting them know their long term plans, but I don't want to be a member when they happen
As long as we are not a member I don't think they can change anything that isn't in the leaving agreement, so we will not be included in becoming a State of Europe. I voted leave because that was something I didn't want to be part of.
Don't forget that if the wealthy of this country suffer, we all do, because they will remove businesses, that provide jobs, to another European country.
Taking their business elsewhere will mean a loss of taxes paid in Britain, so less money to provide homes and benefits for the needy....... I am not talking about those who fraudulently take benefits, but those in genuine need.
Wealthy people probably have health insurance for private care, but they still have to pay NI towards the NHS.
Setting up new world trade agreements will take time, and considering how long it has taken to leave the EU & that time may be too long for those who can't provide for themselves.
I just feel that leaving without a deal will be a bad move & nobody has yet convinced me that it wouldn't.
