I would have preferred a disruptive BREXIT so that it's folly would have been.obvious and another referendum would be carried out. As I see it, Britain will be in limbo land for years to come

. The British can actually play a smart one on the EU. They can be very cunning at times

One grey area was the Northern Ireland issue
The backstop

The EU got a favourable deal from that end.

That back-stop was Boris's weak point. EU negotiator, Michel Barney really got a good deal on that. The DUP of Northern-Ireland are furious I'm not sure this agreement will go down well with the British Parliament. Anyway, it's either this or no deal. And trust me, no one is ready to accommodate an extension of brexit. Everybody don tire for Britain's wahala. Time to face other pressing issues like migration and Turkey's offensive into Syria.

Jeremy Corbyn is coming for you....as far as I know the UK will loose more than it will gain once they leave the EU. I won't be surprised to see them applying for membership again after some years. Whoever came up with the idea is feeling funky.

Not with america their greatest ally .....and for your info USA is bigger than EU economically .....so I see more closer relationship BTW the 2 countries ... in fact most american can trace their lineage to Uk

I don't even Know what brexit means sef.. Me be thinking ondo will be nearer to Britain if the so called brexit happens

tiredoflife:


They wont sir
Even this EU made dem pay more in subsidies
They couldn't get best deals with south American farmers
The only issue here is the land border with Ireland
For bleeps sake it just a border
The UK will gain more if they leave the EU

UK is the bigger loser. Breaking away from the market of the richest continent in the world that could afford to pay for their goods and services. Who does Britain want to trade with now? I guess the global economy... The question is are they ready to compete with China in global trade?
Don't tell me they'll try to try to 'recolonize' her fellow commonwealth members. That bullshit won't fly.
EU only loss would be they have lost a big market in their continent. The pain won't be that much. France and Germany will fill in the gaps. Even Italy and Spain are beginning to push up in weight.

People seem to forget that brits voted for brexit cuz of immigrants nothing more

The sheer stupidity

arstot:

Please I am doing my Master dissertation on brexit can you tell me somethings concerning it ?The Topic of my research is a study of brexit and its prospect and challenges on commonwealth countries. Please I will reference you if you don't mind.thank you in anticipation.

Mr. Astot. To be best of my knowledge the Britain leaving the EU has no benefit whatsoever to the commonwealth members. In fact, it's even to their own (British) benefits.
Want to know why? Here's it is:
1. The EU members based on the treaty signed allows nationals of the EU to have the unrestricted access to any EU members state without any checks they also enjoy the benefits of whatever member country they reside in. Britain obviously doesn't like it since they are at the receiving end of it considering the fact that they are appear to be the strongest and most prosperous EU member so other national want to benefit from the prosperity without having too pay for it via taxes, customs levy etc. Hence the need to go back to the commonwealth, their old time 'mugus' who would at least pay a premium to leave in the United Kingdom .

2.the other challenge is that British pounds is certainly one of the most expensive currency in the world. Certain commonwealth countries like Nigeria might not be able to afford their goods and services considering the fact that we are the poverty capital of the world

Those are my little contributions.

They have history/social capital/long legs etc So, yes.

winterfell007:


Obviously as you stated UK will suffer the loss the more. Michel Barney, Cheif EU negotiator really got a good deal on the behalf of the EU and more importantly Ireland. Boris has lot to contend with Parliament for the 'shabby' deal. He indirectly ceded Northern-Ireland to the European union.

He's going to have a hard time with parliament this Saturday

You don't get. They think they are as special as they used to be in the days of yore.

And always remember they voted to leave because of terrorist attacks aka immigrants.

They never thought beyond their nose

Eidris01:
Can someone please explain the point of Brexit, coz I don't understand.

To stop the UK from losing its pride and identity by bowing down to laws and directives from the EU that they think are unfair

LZAA:

Because Brexit will cause higher visa fees and even possible rejections for immigration
People seem to forget that brits voted for brexit cuz of immigrants nothing more

Well they will still get immigrants from Nigeria, Pakistan and other nonsensical countries since they don't like Bulgarians and Romanians

CyberWolf:
higher visa fees, hingest 100% increment and Nigerians i know can pay anything as long as they are guaranteed of leaving this country. I think brexit happened mainly because of free visa immigrants from EU countries flooding the country especially from poor Eastern European countries.

Exactly, they will still get it worse from Commonwealth countries

If they are that big? Why are they negotiating for deal? After all, they voted to leave not to 'leave with a deal' they should just leave like that since they are too big and prosperous to fail.
For your info, Germany and France's economy are bigger than the UK. They've both got veto power in the UN too. So what does UK have that those two don't have in terms of economic might.
Like I said earlier, EU only loss is that they've lost an important trading partner. With time, other EU members like Italy and Spain will fill in the gaps.

Be cautiously reminded that America is increasingly becoming an unreliable ally. It will be so devastating for the UK if their plan B is premised on a trade deal with the US.

That border is extremely important. You don't know Irish people are just white black people?

They don't take rubbish and they will start bombing again if you piss them off

RESTMOUTH99:
Britain is not a small country to seek for such, they have tested the union and prefer to stay away. Britain has stronger tie with worlds more than several European country combined...

Stronger ties, but not necessarily better ones.

They don't even like people from all those countries they colonised so what will they do now

arstot:
Britain might loose part of her region with this Brexit. I suspect north Ireland exit from Uk in the event of brexit

That would be a disaster

I guess you are wrong. UK is the major financial hub in EU, with strong pounds propping up the Euro. UK has also forged major business relationship with other EU nations overtime, these nations will bear the brunt. Both of the will lose but the degree of loss can only be measured in the future. Both EU and the UK are uncertain about the actual uncertainty that await post Brexit.

So they agreed they'll be no customs check on the borders between Ireland and the Northern-Ireland.

Which is crazy

You dey mind them. No wonder Boris Johnson reversed that policy of Theresa May that deprives other nationals studying in their country to get work permits in their country. Canada and Australia have taken that lucrative education market anyway from them.
Everybody don open eyes. No time for mumu

arstot:



Thank very much. I don't know if you can give me your name for reference purpose and thejob u do

You can as well try the British guardian newspaper, though it's quite left-leaning

My candid opinion is everything is still in the balance. Theresa May agreed a deal with EU but rejected by the parliament; the same fate might await Boris. But in the event the parliament approves, which I don't see happening, article 50 might be revoked or the UK leaves with no deal. If the UK leave with no deal, UK will open more to Africans and Asians but the economy might tank, so they start the rebuilding process. It's not looking good anywhere you look for the UK and EU by extension.

There are a lot of poor towns that have not been carried along and are looked down on by the wealthier Londoners and southeasterners

They voted out of anger at their poor treatment, also they were manipulated by biased publications and social media...the migrants and the terrorists

Though they do really have a problem with immigration and terrorism, there's was a lot of dishonesty and exaggeration

This is the same anger that made the US vote trump in

Plus farmers in eu countries are clamouring for deals because a lot of their produce is exported to the UK

Breaking News: major companies and industries like Nissan and Volkswagen are already making plans to leave the 'shithole' country in the wake of brexit. They can't be paying taxes here and there in every EU member country unlike before where once they pay the EU tax, it applies to member state. But now kasala don burst.
Even some Britishs are beginning to see the errors of their ways. Boris Johnson and other leave campaigners sold them a lie
