Brexit, Will it Happen?

Troll free zone. :wink:

Even if Boris and Varadkar do agree something, it seems like the EU are too arrogant to listen, let alone accept anything.

But, Mr Johnson has also said he will abide with the law, despite the so-called Benn Act in place, which would require him to request a three-month Brexit delay if there is no agreement by October 19.

Extension coming up.

2038, extension 122 coming up.

Boris likes to confuse and keep everyone guessing. :joy: We will have to wait and see.

Sad that a block of politicians can circumvent the will of the people.

Regardless, people will re-elect them.

Not this time. Boris has been very clever to expose them for their true colours. It was all deliberate.

I’m all for Brexit! Also for all other exits from the tower of Babel in Brussels that would end the insanity of voluntarily feudalism. Thursday is the beginning.

Some people in Scotland seem to be misled.
The EU cannot be good for Britain.
Big governments and pseudo-governments are always bad.

Scotts think they’re just second fiddle in the UK and they’re equal in the EU.
Unfortunately being equal in a shithole is worse. :frowning:

Have him arrested immediately wherever he may be.

An interesting article from Mercatus:

The British Parliament voted this week to hold a national election on December 12. If the Conservative Party holds on to its lead in the polls, the results could deliver an early Christmas present for those who support “Brexit” and a potential US-UK trade agreement.

The dominant issue of the election will be whether the UK will finally exit the European Union (EU), as voters narrowly directed in a 2016 referendum, or whether so-called Brexit will be delayed once again or even scuttled altogether. The UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged that if his Conservative Party wins a majority, he will withdraw the UK from the EU by January 31, 2020—the latest extension date granted by the EU.

If Brexit finally happens, it will open the opportunity for the US and the UK to negotiate a far-reaching free trade agreement that could significantly benefit people in both nations while setting a gold standard for 21st century trade agreements. Whatever one’s view of Brexit, if or when the UK leaves the EU, a comprehensive trade agreement should be a high priority for leaders in both nations (as I concluded in a 2018 Mercatus Center study).

The UK is the world’s fifth largest economy, and already a major US commercial partner. The UK ranks fourth in the world as a market for US exports of goods and services, and it ranks fifth as a source of US imports, with two-way trade in 2018 topping $262 billion. The UK and the US are each other’s largest source of foreign direct investment, with more than 1 million Americans going to work every day for UK-owned affiliate companies, and more than 1 million Brits going to work for US-owned affiliates.

A free trade agreement would allow both nations to eliminate all tariffs and non-tariff barriers that inhibit free trade between their citizens. As a member of the EU customs union subject to its common external tariff, the UK currently imposes import duties of ten percent on cars, up to 22 percent on trucks, and an average of 11 percent on farm goods. The US, in turn, imposes duties of 2.5 percent duty on cars, 25 percent on trucks, and an average of five percent on farm goods, with the highest barriers on imported cheese, sugar, and beef.

A trade deal should also take aim at non-tariff barriers, such as regulations that stifle trade in genetically modified foods that have proven to be safe for consumers but that compete with domestically produced non-GMO foods. PM Johnson has expressed his willingness to break from strict EU adherence to the “precautionary principle,” which has been abused to ban products even when there is no scientific evidence that they are unsafe.

Financial services is another area that the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) highlighted in a list of negotiating objectives it sent to Congress earlier this year. London and New York are the world’s two premier financial centers. The USTR committed the US to seek an agreement that would allow US financial service companies “to obtain fairer and more open conditions of financial services trade,” including UK financial regulatory rules that are more transparent and equitable to US suppliers.

Other USTR objectives essential to a future agreement would be reducing or eliminating barriers to cross-border direct investment, protection of intellectual property, higher de minimis thresholds for small package shipments, and elimination of restrictions on the flow of data or the location of computing facilities.

Both the Trump administration and the Johnson government are keen on negotiating an ambitious trade agreement. A recent poll found that 62 percent of Americans support a bilateral US-UK trade agreement, with only 13 percent opposed. A majority believe the US-UK relationship, including commercial ties, will deepen after Brexit.

like those who think the New World Order is good for them.

The EU is a small, European version of the NWO which hasn’t shown the full potential yet

Village idiots are usually harmless. Corbyn thinks he’s Father Christmas.

Corbyn is a Marxist. NWO are Trotskys.

Don’t they strive for the same goal?

Corbyn is a ■■■ hating Brexiteer, though he tries to hide the anti EU bit. :joy:

I have a friend in Australia who is not ■■■■■■ but “Labour.”

I had enough difficulty with him while discussing Marxism.
I think they are in denial of the fact that Marxism is satanism.

You know the whole spiel about
Left vs Right
Dem vs Republican (in America)
Conservative vs Labour (in the UK and Aussie)

is smokescreen.
But Brexit is a serious matter where people are finally waking up.
