It's not that being in the EU is good, but that the EU wants to act so punitively when you leave so that exiting sucks even more than remaining. Not a good look. In that case, they fail really miserable at acting punitively. Not having a free trade deal makes everybody poorer. What do you mean? They do have free trade, what they don't have is membership in the single market -- even the kind of partial membership they obviously wanted. It would be like saying we don't have a free trade deal with Mexico because you need to go through customs to drive a truck from Mexico to the US. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:914330785] in The lesson...
