RE: MAY on her way OUT??15 Jan 2019 20:45
I actually think this is a thankless task and the reality is I don't think it will matter who is PM, they'd be on a hiding to nothing. As long as it's not Corbyn that is. That would be a real shambles.
There's no such thing as a soft BREXIT or an easy BREXIT, this has never happened before, it's new ground we're treading and whatever is agreed is going to upset someone in a big way.
Uncertainty and indecision is creating all the problems. There won't be a problem once we've left, we've been living the results of the referendum and the problem it's caused for two years already even if you look at nothing other than the weakness of our currency. Leaving is the solution to the problem that was the referendum.
With that in mind, we should simply be stating that we're leaving and defaulting to WTO rules then get on and leave. We then invite "Europe" to renegotiate the WTO solution as it would be in their interest to do so and do so very quickly.
Right now we appear to going to them cap in hand and asking very nicely if we can leave sir. Remind me of Oliver Twist to be honest.
I own a company that imports 90% of it's products from outside the EU, it's worked for us from day one, there's no reason it can't work that way with the EU. I'd just like it sorted so we get back to some sort of normality with the rest (majority) of the planet. THe fact the world deals in USD means this has been costing UK PLC for two years already.
Just get it done people.
Mogg might well be the right person, he has the mental capacity I'm just not sure he's cut out for the top job in terms of being a figure head. He strikes me as a very intelligent lieutenant rather than a General.
I'm struggling to think if any of them that could do the job if I'm honest. Even Boris has stuck his foot in his mouth so often that he's no longer a viable option.
