Then I wouldn't negotiate with you. A closed fist meets a closed fist.

If the Tories cave in.....well, they will lose their own base.....The left will by definition never vote for them anyway. As these forums show...plenty of them are anti British pro EU types anyway.

Who is anti British?

We are getting out at a good time. THe EU is going to s***. It was the right decision and you will see that in the coming years.
Merkel will not want to screw Britain. She knows Germany and Europe has much to lose as well.

Well the middle ground certainly isn't 20bn either, which is the UK offer that they 'holding firm on' - If I was in the EU's position, I wouldn't negotiate anything until a price was agreed.


...of course its not...any fool could tell you that! It does show an element of progress though...you wouldn't simply say "how much do you want?" in a negotiation and then give them it!

By being stubborn all that'll happen is there'll be stalemate and the fingers would be pointed those not willing to manouvre...in your case the EU.

Having said that...and from the mouth of Merkle herself things arent as bad as being portrayed by our twisted press...so i dont for one minute think there wont be an agreement made that both sides are ultimately comfortable with.

I'm not so sure it is tbh..as i said elsewhere...if we're expected to pay for projects that havent yet started then personally i'd expect to have the benefits of any [outputs] they produce as well (yet another negotiating point i'd assume)....

It's not up to Merkel if the UK stays in the EU as the UK has the veto.

Do you want your future decided by her a German?

I think the point he was making is that she will do her best to make the separation as amicable as possible as moving forward Germany (and others) will still need / want to do business with us...

Remaining is actually a strong position.

Leave is bankruptcy and humiliation.

She is paying up.

I'm more concerned with trade negotiations and import tariffs affecting long term as well as the short term than how close to £50 billion we go, which we will, as long as that is the limit in how far it goes. Merkel's £90 billion is outrageous but part of negotiating.

Some of the environmental stuff and other things Cambridge is concerned of are also worth maintaining but they should both get on and just agree a fee so neither looks weak which is what this initial stage appears to be. A load of time wasting to appear strong until they meet at £50 billion.

Diluted, hushed strength. 7% of say which amounts to nothing when you inevitably have to put up with it all. Like sitting down for the a la carte menu, only for the waiter to take your payment in advance and leave you with the set lunch menu and to eat up fast as there's 200 hundred people outside who want your table and an a la carte lunch at set menu prices.

Leave is short term pain for long term gain. The Germans did it post war, so should we post Brexit. The country will obviously need a credible leader and not iMay.
