Yeah. No. I know that a lot of people fall for the 'the deal is bad because the EU wants to scare people into submission' but that ignores the pretty clear fact that in none of the 27 member states there is a government even considering leaving the European Union and the single market. What country would leave? Poland has 90% support for European Union membership. Italy isn't even considering leaving the Euro anymore. The German AfD leadership is trying to kick leaving the EU from their party platform. Hungarian politicians need to be able to afford their mansions.
For some reason, the British can't just come to terms with the fact that a better deal is not possible and if it were, the EU and the EU27 are under absolutely no obligation to give it to them. I know a lot of people say that the EU could do this or that, but fact is they're not going to and if your only responds is 'WELL THAT'S COS YOU'RE EVIL' it pretty much shows how dilusional you are. Our prime minister literally just tweeted this.
Spoke with @JunckerEU. #Brexit now in final fase. The EU is united; the Withdrawal Agreement is the best and only deal on the table. Awaiting proposal from UK that is acceptable to EU and will enable ratfication in the UK.
That's coming from what is perhaps the most pragmatic, market-friendly European leader in a country that has arguebly the most to lose from a hard Brexit. We're heading full steam ahead to the poo, and the only strategy the British politician seem to have is to prepare to blame the European Union. Like I said before, it would be pretty funny if it wouldn't hit us so hard as well. Ironic, considering we have been close allies within European Union, NATO and as trading partners. Cheers.
