Thank goodness for the DUP

The DUP have as the current buzzword is, clarity. The difference between them and the other politicians is they really want clarity. The others are a bit like St Augustine wanting chastity but not yet.. The DUP is our best chance of getting a proper Brexit. They can and will hold May's feet to the fire. They do not do fudge. They are the hard men and women we need at this time. We have plenty of useless FCO public schoolboys. Time to get in the hard men.

The EU negotiating aims are quite clear. They cannot give us any sort of deal worth having as their other vassal states will want the same. Mrs May doing her dance of the seven veils on the head of a pin is a useless waste of time and unlikely to win Strictly in the next 100 years. Take Yanis's advice,. do not try and negotiate with the EU and end up shafted like the|Greeks.

Just tell the EU we will go to WTO rules next March and start immediately putting our procedures in place to do so. Its so simple.

Its a political battle. Get our priorities right and forget about the many economic red herrings that our political swallow whole. It would also help to have a PM who believes in our cause and will listen to the ordinary people.

It isn't simple as the supposed WTO isn't a realistic option at all.

What the WTO does is lay out a set of guidelines to follow to set up a trade deal but to achieve one, as complex as the one we currently enjoy inside the Single Market, would take many years and is time we don't have.

So why reinvent the wheel when Efta/EEA sees us maintain all our existing trade but also frees us from the political EU.

"

Because EFTA means free movement of people and that is not acceptable. The recent Italian election might have been a good indicator on that one.

. . . and don't quote Article 112 because I can't see Dis-May invoking it.

To paraphrease Michael Caine, "I'd rather be poor and master in my own house than rich and someone's else's slave"

I agree Mrs May is too ignorant and incompetent to use Article 112 but that is NO reason to suggest that it not useable and workable.

Your own predjudice against it is unfounded.
