The "No Deal" option IS A PERFCETLY LEGAL AND VALID OPTION.
It one of only 2 LEGAL AND VALID OPTIONS according to the EU Treaties which we long since signed up to.
We can either leave with an agreed Withdrawal Agreement, Or we can leave with No Deal. Those are the only two permissible options of leaving within the treaty.
We therefore can not, and must not have government plotting to try and remove either of those legal and valid options. Doing so is both against the Treaty and is against democracy.
The No Deal option is our strongest position. It gives us all the bargaining chips. The EU is DESPERATE for us not to take the No Deal route because it then means we HAVE LEFT and at that point all the negotiations change. At that point they know they won't get £39 billion from us and that their imports and exports will suffer.
The nonsense we are seeing in government is utterly appalling. We have legitimate ways of leaving, 2 of them as explained above and we have parts of government and opposition actively attempting to obstruct and scupper those options. Such politicians should be removed from office.
They are there to do a job and that is to preserve and follow the democratic processes of this country and serve the country and its people.
Nothing has changed. We have 2 options. Leave with an agreed deal, or just leave. Everything else is fraudulent obstruction which should be opposed with the full force of the law.
Hi
The EU are not desperate about No Deal.
They have not come running, simple Maths.
They take all our services, our biggest Export to the EU, not covered by WTO Rules.
They pay more WTO Tariffs on the rest, manufacturing and Agriculture.
They lose tariff free on 14% of their exports, we lose 40% of ours.
They are not moving, they can do the sums.
No Deal is a big win for them after the initial shock.
They take our services, and the Tax they produce.
They own vast amounts of our manufacturing, they take that back to the EU.
A No Deal means that we are not just leaving the EU in March, we are leaving every Free trade Deal we have as well.
Liam Fox has said they are not queuing up to replace them on like for like terms.
We will survive, the sky will not fall in, but life will be very different.
