I NEVER THOUGHT THIS ARTICLE WOULD BE SO PROPHETIC! I CAN NOT SEE WHY I SHOULD CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY
Politicians noses out of joint,because voters democratically chose to leave the European Union in a referendum, of course by the simplest vote and majority. If stay in the Union had won as they wanted they would have felt vindicated, as the vast majority of politicians wanted to stay !
Crazy to have put a political stayer in the position to negotiate the withdrawel and civil servants adding to the doom and gloom by extrapolating what happen years later if a compromise is not taken. The civil servants views reminds me of market tipsters how ever well informed trying to predict the future peformance of a stock.More often than not they get it wrong over every period from short to long time periods.
The stupidest wailing politicians are those wanting a perfect trade deal now without knowing what will be up for trade in the future. Even when within the Union a new trade deal is worked out it takes from months to years to get all the crinkels out.
The British are not mostly coddled children that must be protected from all events by self seeking politicians.Of course they are quite eccentric peoples, but tough and hard working and not only overcome any challenge but will look forward of making a success of any situation.This is the only country in the world as far as I know that does not have a written constitution ,but an
outstanding working democracy.
GATT(The general agreement of tariffs and trade) which will protect them if they leave with out an agreement is a good starting point to a bright future, they should then not seek to re-enter the European Union as they will then not be able to plot their independent way forward.The EU just loves encroaching on the British assets such as oil in the North Sea and fishing rights.
Honestly I must add that the E Union has become top heavy and not my view only but many world wide has passed its "Sell by date !" .MID- European states would do themselves a favour by forming their own union as they become increasingly dominated by the powerful Western European states.
