Its a tough negotiation thats for sure. The EU know that if they give us a good deal then others may be encouraged to leave. They also know that a bad deal will hurt them but its a game of brinkmanship now. They may calculate that a bad deal will seal the fate of this lame government - in fact the electorate signalled that they were not happy with Theresa May's "Brexit means Brexit", "no deal is better than a bad deal" (notice she has quietly dropped that line now) approach when she opportunistically tried to increase her majority in the general election and lost her majority. She wanted a bigger majority to increase her hand with the EU and the electorate refused to give it to her. For the Europeans its always been about more than just economics and we never really understood that or sympathised with it. I would rather have stayed in where at least we could be a moderating influence and (as the facts clearly show) gain massively from the advantages of a single market. My money is still on a fudge 4 years down the line :) Great that we are all allowed to have an opinion though! :thumbsup:

I'd agree with most of what you said, but referring to the "help of EU" seems to suggest they have some grip on things - EU officials seem to be at least as clueless as our own lot!

And if that is the best we can hope for I'd rather be ruled by clueless Brits than clueless Europeans. :lol:
