We're going to end up with exactly what we have now being a member of the EU, but with no representative around the EU table. We have more bargaining power than scare mongers are saying, European countries would lose a lot not trading with the UK, Ireland does a lot of business with the UK.

Much as I don't like May or this Government, the majority voted to leave the Eu, and she is trying to make this happen. The unelected rulers of the EU know that they have all the bargaining chips here as Tory MP's, most Labour MP's and the SNP will vote against anything May proposes unless it's basically staying in the EU. They're just sitting back licking their lips.

Lots of UKIP-style sound bytes there, very little meaning.

You say that like it's a good thing.

I actually think you might be right, or close to. This is pretty much what I expect actually, a mess of a deal which leaves people who wanted to Remain unhappy because we are no longer part of the EU and have no seat at the table and people who wanted to Leave unhappy because they didn't get what they thought they were going to get.

I don't think it's a good thing at all. It's a right old mess.

It is a mess and there's only one way to fix it.

"The unelected rulers of the EU"

No - they were elected either as representatives of the governments or by the council of ministers.

They're just sitting back licking their lips
No - they are waiting for us to propose something acceptable to them. You can't expect them to le any country to just leave and end up with the membership privileges without any cost. They are fighting their corner as best the can which is what they would be expected to do.

A brexit split will also cost the EU and their negotiating team have a responsibility to minimise that cost FOR THEM, not for us. I don't understand why so many brexiteers don't understand this, unless they are still living under the delusion that we still have an empire of over a quarter of the planet. Mind you, given the attitude and comments made by brexiteers, they do seem to have a large contingent of knuckle-scraping racists and xenophobes.

Honestly don't understand this attitude - a friend of a friend on FB does it a lot: "Nasty old EU, not bending over and giving us everything we want".
Why should they? It's a negotiation, one which we initiated. We want what's best for us, they want what's best for them, there is bound to be some tension there.
It's like divorcing your wife and then whining she wants half the house.
