Except that they don't want to.  They don't want the uncertainty that is Brexit to last too long, thus making their own economy/ies less stable.

What they are complaining of is our delay in starting the process, they won't be in any hurry to agree to our terms.

Isn't the concept of "labour" somewhat outdated?

Perhaps a left-wing party would be more successful if its name didn't reflect something of the distant past?

Like 'New Labour' for example  :D

I'm sure they'll back off until they see how the brexit plan works out........what is the plan by the way?
The plan is no tariffs, which is what German industry wants.

Yes I know we have been told that, and it is another of those BIG LIES.

We are the ones with the tumbling currency and stock market. Make no mistake - the Brexit vote has already resulted in grave damage to our economy - two years down the line this country would be in very deep shit!

All the EU need to do is wait.
Does it. So everything is ok in the Eurozone or Zombieland.

So Greece, Italy and Spain, and France are ok then?

England. We took Wales by force too so they didn't have much say in the matter.

I vote for "Little England" to contrast with "Great Britain" which has now been utterly trashed by the Little Englanders of the Leave campaign.
Great England.

If you are referring to the same interview that I heard on Radio 4 with one of the EU commissioners, what she said was that the EU commissioners had no wish punish Britain, but it was for the individual member governments to agree the terms that would be offered to britain. i.e. if any government is worried by it's own exit movement, it can stick-out for punitive terms for Britain.
But after two years we are out anyway so any punitive measures would just evaporate. Also, if a member causes trouble that upsets a big player in the EU, such as Germany, then they will find the punitive measures being put on them. As I have told you before people and countries/members can be leant on or bribed to tow the EU (Germany/France) party line.

The new Democratic Labour Party

This is the problem of holding back on activating article 50.

A Norwegian type deal with free movement of people.

And I think they said on the Today program that per head of population, Norway was paying almost exactly the same as we are paying now.

So Brexit will have achieved . . . . . . . . . . . . .

But we will gain our freedom from the oppressive yoke of Brussels and it will once again be possible for us to proudly pump raw sewage onto bathing beaches with our heads held high singing Rule Britannia.

No, a UK type deal, because they need us.

Not when we are trading with the rest of the world. The EU tariffs make their goods more expensive to import.

Are you suggesting that only the EU has tariffs and that England will not be prepared to have them under any circumstances?

How did you get that idea from what I said. It may surprise you but I'm not in power so have no say on it.

You assume he is in power. At the moment, effectively, no one is.....we are all adrift...
