The Will Of The People ?
I wonder how many of the democracy-loving Brextremists will review this with their usual blinkers well in place.

It isn't a case of 'the EU having a stick and us having a stick.' In the absence of a free trade deal, we revert to the mutual tariff regime as laid out under WTO. That's not good news for us. It's also not particularly good news for EU member states that trade with us - but they enjoy the benefits of trading with their closest neighbours and the EU's newest trade partners (Canada/Japan) under free trade rules. In a no-deal scenario, we won't have that until we arrange it - which will take years, probably decades.
The insults I’ve highlighted. If I didn’t acknowledge other arguments, I wouldn’t be putting my own fact based answers to them, so that point is nonsensical.
Do you have anything to say about my pointing out that your statement about ‘sticks’ is incorrect, by way of me explaining about tariffs?
Here’s another small fact for you to digest:
Without further negotiation, the UK’s trade in services with the EU will be governed by the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).
If the UK does trade under the GATS agreement, then our market access will be far more limited than it is currently. A side effect of this would that companies may find that it has they have to comply with the rules of a foreign regulatory authority.

That’s a complete and utter non sequitur, Torah. I’m not a fan of the EU, as I have stated several times and I do not believe we should let them do as they please (and I don’t think we will) but a no deal scenario means we would be virtually doing just that.
Do you have any comprehension of the points I have been making, or are you just going to come out with your standard cliched, unfounded rhetoric which only serves to demonstrate your lack of comprehension?

My opinion of the UK is very high. Of its politicians....less so. But my opinion is irrelevant and I’m not sure why you’ve brought it up.
I would have thought you would have used the options which are available to us as counter arguments to mine. Would you care to further the debate by explaining those options to us?
