If you vote Tory, you will NOT be "Getting Brexit Done".
That is for 2020 and there must be an 80% chance of it resulting in a no deal exit.
Which will disable our economy for generations.
One of the MANY issues not discussed ( or on my town's case, discussed by our MP who demonstrated his failure to understand) is that :
WE NEED an EU deal. It represents half our current trade. No deal would cause massive damage to certain industries, agriculture and fisheries amongst them.
But the EU will not let us trade as we are now once we are not members. They WILL , though , expect any of our exports to comply with regulation ( though that will be regulation we will have no say in, and which most critically will expose services exports). Tariffs are far less of an issue. Paperwork, once outside the customs union, will absorb much resource and be enough to prevent some small firms from even trying to.
So even if we got a deal, we could never get anywhere like the level of business we have now.
SO we would need another substantial trade deal. Forget ANZAC- peanuts and already sewn up by China. Forget China; Germany is already their top partner ( EU member or not).
NO it is the US. But the regulation- or lack of it- that the US would expect would directly conflict with that which the EU expects. GM foods would be one small example.
THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE.
So there is NO WAY we can do both. There is NO WAY we can even do either in one year, unless we roll over and accept all their demands. Whatever route unfolds, economic disaster awaits.
Oh I wish I'd read that before Hillman !
Now I've gone and voted without knowing what I wanted again ! I think a lot of other people must have done the same - will you be demanding a re run....
