Yeah...the problem is that you currently have such a PM. One that starts with the assumption that the EU needs the UK more than vice versa, and is convinced that all that is needed is a clear vision of what the UK needs to achieve. It's kind of self-evident, but...the EU also wants things. And while I personally disagree with May's deal (as obvious, I just want you guys to remain), at least she understands this. Both the UK and EU have - or should have - a good relationship as common goal, and as such, talking terms used are in the vein of "partners", "trade deals" and "good standing". That news reporter suggests just passing by what terms the EU deems necessary for a union to work, just cherry picking the parts the UK likes and contributing nothing but joined projects (erm...isn't the maintenance of free movement part of that contribution?).
Yes, she's a remainer, indeed. And do you remember WHY she got that position?
It's because none of the brexiteers had a solid plan to work on, had no idea on the details they wanted to achieve or how to do it. And this isn't even me being sarcastic about things: Farage quit ukip mere days after the brexit result, and Boris Johnson and Michael Gove were busy backstabbing each other. I might be wrong (and to be honest: I'm all ears on news sources that point out an alternative narrative ), but I think May was just chosen because nobody else wanted the hassle of dealing with the EU (well knowing that they'd never agree on the wild promises that were given to the people).
None of what you said is true. The EU does need the UK more than vice versa and you're deluded if you believe otherwise. Nowhere else in the world does a TRADE deal require "the four pillars" what does a trade deal have to do with immigration? Nothing! The EU is a way for Germany to control continental Europe and you're falling for it big time. I suggest you look up how many euro bonds Germany has sold above 5% this week.
We buy far more from you than you do from us, theres 3x as many EU nationals in the UK than vice versa. Ask yourself why 27 different nationalities flock to the UK but only 1/3 of that number has gone to the EU. Asking for a free trade deal isn't cherry picking it's common sense. The trouble is the EU wants to control our tax our trade and has the audacity to charge £39bn for it. I can't imagine what it must feel like too feel so utterly small that you think you need the EU, I thought Belgium was a proud strong country, It truly is sad to me that you're all so willing to throw away centuries of national culture. But have fun dying in the EU army because Germany says so.
She got that position because like the rest of parliament there are more remainers than brexiteers, they put her in that position to negotiate a terrible deal so we find ourselves exactly where we are now. Leadsom is a leaver and she came close but had to drop out because she made some silly comments on the radio. Her plan was to activate article 50 the day after. To say " you dont have a plan " isn't true, we have one. You just dont like it. You're correct that farage swanned off, but he isn't even an MP, was never in the negotiations and had about as much sway as you and I do. I love that you think that the UK supreme court being the highest court in the land and controlling our own immigration is "wild promises"
