Brexit Thread

[Kagemusha]

So summa summarum. With aid of both Britain and Spain, the trade treaty between Britain and EU fall`s short. British pro Brexiters take that as evidence that Brexit was the righteous thing to do. British economy take`s a major hit. What next?

Britain with her problematic economical future take`s an adamant stand at NATO together with Trumpist US that all members have to commit to 2% spending of GDP, which Germany with some other countries reject, with arguments like their larger spending to overseas development aid, dividing the NATO, could such be possible next?

We shall see what actually happens.

I will be surprised if the EU actually allows Spain to choke Gibraltar by the throat. One would hope basic humanity would prevent that. On the other hand, the EU continues to throttle Greece.

OTOH, any agreement needs to be ratified by all members. Spain doesn't need to choke Gibraltar. All they need to do is not ratify any agreement, and there is no UK-EU agreement (as has been the case with Canada and Belgium for quite some time). When the spectre of Turkish membership was raised by kippers, this basic mechanic should have been pointed out as our safeguard. The mechanic still exists, but it's likely to work against us as we're now the ones outside.
