O/T Theresa

But it's extremely, almost infinitely complicated. How do you not drag it out? You could present a list of 'take it or leave it' demands but we have kind of already tried that and they chose to leave it.

The much predicted fear of German car manufacturers (I don't want to say predicted by who exactly cause he seems to be posting a lot less on here lately, and that's a good thing ) who would dictate to Merkel that she had to keep us happy at any cost hasn't materialised. They seem to have decided that it's better to keep the single market intact without the UK than to keep the UK happy and risk the future of the single market.

It goes back to the Trump style negotiations. If you have absolute power and people need something from you, while you don't need anything from anybody, you can act like that. That's why Trump can get away with behaving like a childish god-king when running his business or speaking to people on his reality shows, but he seems to have trouble adjusting to the real world where nobody (thankfully) has absolute power and we are all interconnected.

A significant part of Brexiteers seem to have similar trouble getting their heads round this concept too.

....but it's being dragged out because one side, the EU, has categorically refused to discuss future trading terms UNTIL we agree to a Divorce Bill plus EU citizens Rights?.......they've stated their position numerous times.......we keep offering to discuss these matters if they are part of a wider discussion

As far as I can see, this is not going to resolve itself until the EU stop trying to play the bully....which is why the Tories need to re-emphasise that we are prepared to take a "no deal" scenario rather than pay a ransom demand....of course it's going to hurt in the short-term .....but it's the price that most loyal Brits will pay, in return for their Freedom.

That's what a significant number of Remoaners seem to have trouble getting into their heads.....the concept of Freedom
