AtariLegend Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Paul Nutter is standing in Boston... home of maybe the most awkward Question Time audience in the UK. The contingency with the highest leave vote. If they can't win there, they won't win anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 UKIP are dead. You could argue that those who desired leaving the European Union used them like a wet fanny pad then dispensed with them when the task was done. The whole party existed for that one thing and now it has passed they've swiftly become an anachronism. It does not help that UKIP are perpetually locked in a civil war either.

AtariLegend Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Watched her performance on the Marr show. No wonder she's dodging debates. She struggled on random questions, then immediately pivoted to go on about the Tory record or Corbyn. Other than a question about whether gay sex was a sin, she dodged almost everything. She's going to win an election by a landslide, without promising anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're prior commitments and the country gets more back financially than it puts in. It's not like the UK didn't have a hand in writing the rules it doesn't like. If voters think the UK's getting free trade deals with the rest of the world by mid march 2019, cool. Maybe they won't vote for her in 2023.

A figure pulled out of the arsehole of a Brussels bureaucrat by all accounts. Just tell them to bugger off and trade with our natural friends in the commonwealth - we can still trade with Europe on the WTO ratio.

Like Bangladesh and Mozambique? Sure, but it'll take several years from the date we leave. Unless let's say we agree to free movement of people with India, in which case certain sections of the media can go on about 170.. million Muslims or whatever "pouring into our country" never the other 1.1 billion Asians. They'd love that. Speaking of which, you do know the free trade deals we'll lose aren't just with the other member states and the EU has free trade deals with alot, alot of other countries?

Yes, and we'll make them. That is what countries do who are sovereign, make trade deals with individual states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you'll just have to negotiate through it but at least you'll be standing on your own two feet and have the freedom to negotiate with non-EU counties. Better that than being in the EU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
