[QUOTE=Boilrig;52774764]Laws and buildings don't suffer, individual countries do.[/QUOTE] Whatever is that supposed to mean? Is that single sentence a rebuttal of hexpunK's multiple paragraphs?
[QUOTE=Boilrig;52774093]They don't have to, it just leads to hard Brexit and both sides suffer. It is pretty clear from those articles the EU needs the budgetary contributions from the UK, but is unwilling to give anything in return, which is why the UK is saying that the EU needs to expand its mandate as the negotiator is probably not authorised to talk about transitional or trade deals.[/QUOTE] the brits wanna jump out with a free trade deal and reap the benefits of being in the EU zone without being in the EU, of course the EU is gonna play hardball when they are essentially demanding the right to ignore the rules and responsibilities that come with being part of the EU the EU has basically all the cards, britain leaving just means they recajigger the numbers on their budget, which might not even be so bad since britain wouldn't be recieving payments either, and they move on while britain has to figure out how to keep an economy functioning in the age of global free trade when they burned the best free trade deal in the world
