That relationship will be under our rules though. Not the EU.

But..... #Remoanersgottaremoan


We will kneel down and do exactly what they tell us or else we will be annihilated economically. We just gave up our power to actually make and influence rules in Europe.

But the EU will not allow that without freedom of movement. Which Leavers will see as a betrayal and as such May will probably be too scared to agree to.

So we are strawberry floated.

Does the Canadian deal require freedom of movement?

UKIP's Deputy Chair Suzanne Evans has told BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett that "skilled up" British citizens could replace migrant workers.

Wait... what? Where did that figure come from? Stop pulling figures out of your arse.

Why are we even giving this party air time anymore? They have no MPs in Parliament.

But you know.... ££££Brexiteersgottafuckeverythingupforeveryoneelse


I believe it's from this research from a few months ago:

http://natcen.ac.uk/news-media/press-releases/2016/november/voters-want-uk-to-stay-in-the-eu-single-market-but-be-able-to-control-immigration/

NatCen wrote:Voters want UK to stay in the EU single market but be able to control immigration


Despite their differences many Remain and Leave voters agree on what Brexit should mean

Almost everyone (90%) supports remaining part of the European single market, regardless of how they voted in the EU Referendum, according to a new report published today by NatCen Social Research.

But at the same time as many as seven in ten (70%) think the UK should be able to limit the number of people from the EU who come here to live and work. Indeed, almost three-quarters (74%) believe that potential EU migrants should have to apply to come here in the same way non-EU migrants have to do.

Today’s paper, the most comprehensive study yet undertaken of public attitudes towards the shape that Brexit should take and published as part of the ESRC-funded What UK Thinks: EU project, shows that Leave voters (90% in favour) are almost as keen as Remain voters (94%) on staying in the single market.

Meanwhile, although less than the figure for Leave voters (85%), over half (55%) of Remain supporters are in favour of the UK being able to limit EU immigration.

The results, which come from NatCen’s new methodologically rigorous panel survey, show widespread support both for measures that are often labelled a ‘soft’ Brexit and for those that are widely considered to form part of a ‘hard’ Brexit.


If they are holding up one of those facts as the truth, then they really ought to take another look at the other one.

We could easily spin that as "90% want to remain in the single market according to a UKIP supported poll"!

UKIP. :lol: :fp:


British public are pro-having cake and pro-eating cake!

It's not an impossible request since it physically could be done, but it's just highly unlikely to be one or the other. Single market tariff free access combined with UK opting out of the free movement of people alongside freedom to make free trade deals with non EU countries and not being a net contributor to the EU budget. Best of both worlds. :slol:

Inconvenient facts and convenient facts for UKIP.


Who will you vote for now UKIP are irrelevant and unlikely to get another MP?

Of course it will, because the minor partner in any deal gets to set the agenda.

Does the Canadian deal remove all tariffs and give the same single market access as member states of the EU enjoy?

Did Canada piss off the EU before starting work on a deal?

Is Canada a small island just off the coast of the mainland EU?

Does Canada have a massive banking sector that parts of the EU would like to see move their own countries?

Did the Canada deal almost fall apart because one small part of Belgium didn't like the deal?

It's astonishing to me that we keep hearing these calls to unify, to "ensure Brexit works!" and "get behind Britain!".

What like the strawberry floating Eurosceptic Tories and UKIP unified with everyone over the last 40 years? Like how Farage tried his best to make EU membership work?

Get strawberry floated you utter cretinous banana splits.


Spoken like a true leftist liberal. When will the
#remoanersgottaremoan stop. YOU lost, get over it.

This is a general discussion/debate thread not one for slinging around assumed political orientations as mockery while adding nothing else to the conversation about what politicians and people in general are doing. Likewise, please stop trolling.

Better cancel any future general elections then. They keep making us vote every 5 years all hoping we make the decision that THEY want. The bastards.

But trolls gotta troll.


Actually, I'd not call you a troll. Just stupid perhaps. But if you have to troll.... carry on.


But..... Remoaners gotta remoan.


Oh my. A board warñing for the above.

The liberal leftist are strong in these parts.

Well if you want to live in a world that is one sided. So be it.

It removed 98% of tariffs. So yeah, that's a much better deal than ours with forced freedom of movement designed to absorb your country into a political bloc.


Like the UK removes tariffs between England and Scotland but forces freedom of movement on the Scottish people, while making sure the Scottish are ruled by unelected Lords?

And yet you don't support Scottish independence?

We are not Canada, we will not get the same deal as Canada. We had a good deal and threw it away in a fit of nationalism. Yay us!

Almost certainly not. That's my issue, we're in for at least 3-4 years of utter mayhem if leave without a deal in 2 years time. And in my experience, that's business you won't be getting back easily (if at all).

It looks like they gotta bitch, moan and cry about everything even though they are getting everything they want.

Basically they are toddlers.

I'm expecting us to leave without a deal and it will take a decade or so to agree a new one.

OK, I'm going to block you from posting in this thread now. It's not for your point of view - there are plenty of Leave voters in this thread - it's for posting in a really rude and obnoxious way. We allow banter and strongly-worded arguments, but if we tell you to knock it off then we expect you to knock it off, and you haven't.

Everyone else: please move on and don't reply to his posts or discuss the fact that he's been blocked, as he can't reply and it's not fair on him. If anyone has a problem with this, please take it to a thread in Feedback. Cheers.
