It's honestly the most ridiculous of all false Brexiteer narratives: that the EU falls to pieces without the UK.

Poll after poll after poll across the entire bloc has shown incredibly strong support for the EU as an institution.

Support for the EU as an institution amongst citizens of member states is stronger than it has been for more than a decade.

In the part of Portugal I live in, I haven't met *a single person* who isn't a supporter of the project (without recognising its problems and limitations).

Literally every single political party with representation is pro-EU here. There is zero support for any alternative.

Be careful with what you read on social media and in the British press.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ofc the smaller countries are gna be happier than the main 2 who fund everything for them ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet a post-Brexit Bertelmanns report puts EU approval ratings amongst the German populous at a staggering close to 70%...
-------

1. That could soon change after brexit actually happens and the ramifications become apparent.
2. I'd be wary of those figures. We've seen with brexit that they aren't always accurate.

I don't think what people think now is relevant. You have to wait until brexit actually happens and then a few years before most will even consider the impacts.

No deal Brexit will be much worse for the UK than the EU. The MPs know this and the only ones who really want it amongst them will be lining their own pockets as Rees Mogg has done and is doing.

Problem with us British is pure arrogance and a lot of delusion about out standing in the world. In the last 80 years the decline has been staggering and it won’t be long before the uk is divided up. Leaving the Eu is just self harm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If a nation with economy as big as ours cant survive alone we might aswell nuke ourselves and get it over with.

You clearly don't understand how important/export works.

You look foolish in your assertions, given the YEARS and INFORMATION that you have chosen to disregard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
not disregarding anything, if they had a plan before all this crap we wouldn't be begging for a deal.

besides what does it matter how import/export works you fool? or can we ONLY get it in the EU is that what you are trying to say? are you saying without the EU we can't do ANYTHING? we're just gna die?

posted on 1/4/19

we import more than we export, so i guess no one will want to sell to us, i guess the EU dont give a sheite about how much we buy from them and pump into their economies, they must just be keen on a deal out of the goodness of their hearts pal.

There is widely accepted by actual professionals that the economy will suffer 10-15 % hit due to issues with import/export. It all relates to lack of trade deals.

This is so obvious. You shouldn't have to ask why these deals, or complete lack of, are relevant.

They take YEARS to develop. I heard the average FTA deal take 5-7 years.

Even if we can fast track them, we cannot procure good trade deals in DAYS.

It is literally insane to think that a no-deal is even an option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes lack of trade deals, whos fault is that when Mays been tunnel visioning a facking pathetic deal with the EU?

On 18 May 2017, Canadian member of parliament, Michael Chong, declared support for post-Brexit free movement between the CANZUK countries, saying it was "a good idea to explore a new trade deal with Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, particularly in light of the Brexit vote

we should be focusing on stuff like this.

look i dont even want brexit never did, but the doom and gloom facking bores me and im angry at the government for obvious numerous things from the very beginning starting with Cameron promising a referendum to win a general election.

If everyone pulled together and the government was competent theres no facking reason as to why we couldnt survive outside of the EU, even thrive.

This nation has become an absolute joke, when did we become such weak and pathetic people imagine us in any of the world wars.

The ratio of the UK trade imbalance and the desire of the EU to want to trade with the UK, mean absolutely feck all in a no-deal scenario.

Three years and the govt have done almost nothing to prepare anyone to cope, let alone succeed in a no-deal scenario.

Gave a ferry contract to a company that doesn't even own one single boat?!?

It is insane.

The govt cannot even organise a deal that anyone can agree on.

Farcical.

The UK will be absolutely desperate to deal with anyone over the next two years, even with a transition agreement.

The size of the economy is just one chip that shouldn't be relied on as a mechanism for success. It would be extremely naive to do so.

Correct mate, but this is down to the people in charge not those who voted to leave who everyone who didnt seem so busy pointing fingers and blaming, who many will probably admit now were clearly lied to and would vote differently.

posted on 1/4/19

and believe me they wouldnt vote differently because they were wrong, cause they probably arent, they would vote differently because theyve seen the absolute shambles of a government and would have no faith in them running a bath together let alone a government through something as complex as brexit.

Government is to blame for this farcical Brexit implementation. They have had almost 3 faking years and they continually mess it up.

Doesn't help when you put a remainder in charge.

Thats like putting a Tottenham fan as the Arsenal Chairman.
