I guess this proves that economic suicide does not have to be rushed decision. The EU is going to make an example of the U.K. When you have interest rates at zero, a large deficit (both current account and governmental), and a political system at war with itself, then it might not be the best time to leave.
- walkingolof 10y agoRecruiting all the necessary people to negotiate with the EU (and all deals proxied by EU toward the rest of the world, including the US) do take time, the EU have handled most of this for the UK the last 40 years or so...
- danieltillett 10y agoSo even if it was possible in theory to negotiate a decent outcome the UK won't be able to because they have no one to do the negotiation. Leaving everything up to Boris to work out does not sound like a plan.

- Silhouette 10y agoWhen you have interest rates at zero, a large deficit (both current account and governmental), and a political system at war with itself, then it might not be the best time to leave. The thing is, the position across much of the remaining EU is not so different to that. If the politicians can't get their act together and reach some reasonable compromise, everyone is going to lose out for a while because of Brexit, both UK and remaining EU.
