    It's still not 350 million a week. How many times does the Brexit movement have to admit that before you believe it? :P

    Everybody has passporting rights, what this means is that if you only need to get regulatory approval from one EU country to trade to them all - What the UK does is (by virtue of speaking english and other things) is to be a good foothold for external actors - banking, but also multinationals.
    Any EU country could do this, its just that the UK has some advantages - as for the Swizz, dont think so, not for third parties anyway, i cant recall what the EES (and their particular brand too) says on that issue, but i think not.

    You seem to know an awful lot about the terms of any future deal, are you on the EU's negotiating team or something?

    We see that same "comission" saying member states of a more conservative Democratically elected viewpoint, won't have the same amount of say, since it's unpopular among the ivory tower dictators in Brussels.

    Seeing how not even 75 years ago people were being cooked by the millions in ovens, I can see why the Brits would eject.
    Just for the sake of clarity I feel it should be pointed out....

    So the economy is now going to go to the dogs. = less tax = public sector cuts and higher taxes to cope with the hit.

    well done Brexiters making everyone poorer is a solid plan.

    A, that number is a lie, B, There does not exist some magic treaty where free movement is not included, but if it did, it would still involve the transfers of money C, The EU does not fucking need that money, that's not how the budget works.

    Oh I see BTW Turkey are at they EU today, how interesting lol
    Turkey is currently occupying parts of Cyprus, Cyprus is an EU member - How this idiotic idea of Turkish membership persists is fucking astonishing.

    I'm fairly sure this has been pointed out before but it's not that simple. The UK is the EU's biggest trade partner, 16% of all EU exports go to the UK and it's not like we are bringing in Estonian potatoes. 7.1% of Germany's exports come here, 7.3% of France's come here, 5.5% of Italy's exports come here, 9.7% of the Netherlands exports come here, 9.3% of Belgium-Luxembourg's exports come here.

    So while the overall numbers from the EU to the UK might not be that high it's because while we may not do that much business with the uninfluential/powerless EU members we do do a lot of business with the important ones.

    They don't - the others have been saying its free movement or no free market, he said, everything is on the table, that is to say, you can have a limited treaty if you like, but that will mean no full and free access -

    This x100, Turkey should not even be considered for EU membership while they are militarily occupying part of an EU member.

    You are aware that that would make your country least priority in terms of trade negotiations for the EU?

    Glad you pointed that out, it is historically accurate and we should make no mistake of that fact. It was nazi Germany that burned 6 million Jews in the ovens. Good observation.

    I wonder, though, how is this relevant to the current situation?
