>The Brexit talks were badly designed from the start — something that often happens when you put bureaucrats in charge. Critically, the EU refused to discuss the nature of its future relationship with the U.K. unless London first agreed that there would be no hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. >It was this decision, to include the Irish border question in the first phase of negotiations, that ensured we would never reach the second. >There are financial risks to Brexit that Brussels stubbornly continues to ignore: A disproportionate percentage of the financial services EU firms need to manage risk has been contracted in the City, and the City will continue to be the place where these services must be procured. >There are political and reputational risks as well. As the negotiation process disintegrates, most of the world will turn to Brussels and ask why, once again, the EU appears unable to reach a speedy and efficient resolution to its problems.
Why are eurocrats so incompetent, weak and pathetic?
>be a brit*n >make a pigs ear out of Brexit >blame everybody else
I can see why gr*koids would side with them
Isaac Edwards
lmao xD
Lucas Gomez
but they are wealthy you diaspora shitskin
Lucas Martin
>the Brexit talks were badly designed because the EU gained the upper hand on day 1 and wept the floor with delusional British demands ????
Christian Brown
And you blame exclusively the Brits. Don't think you're exempt from hypocrisy
Justin Williams
you need wealth to get loans you slavic subhuman
Luke Reed
Excempt from what? Their demands are completely outlandish and their government both wants EU access while at the same time ‘Brexit means Brexit’
Ian White
Don't insult Greeks you slavshit creature.
Gavin Powell
t. gr**koid
Justin Brooks
t. gayr**k
Asher Foster
>completely outlandish Such as? In any case, it's a hard Brexit now and the e""""u"""" apparently failed on that one too.
Connor Robinson
its depression season and you socialize through Jow Forums you pathetic subhumans
Daniel White
I too am greek.
Caleb Wright
Such as getting to pick to what the EEA does and doesn’t apply. Meanwhile 75% of their parliament is dedicated to blocking anything the government comes up with anyway so talks are meaningless to begin with.
Jeremiah Harris
so you little worm you admit the english tried to fuck over the irish and not letting that happen is somehow the fault of EU officials, who are sent by their national governments btw, so an elected body of representation sends officials to represents its voters
KYS FUCKING SUBHUMAN GYPOID
Robert Peterson
Brexiteers are vile human beings that happily throw Northern-Ireland in front of the bus
Owen Bennett
Brexit is 100% on the brits, they shot themselves in the foot and then instead of patching it up they're letting it bleed and hoping that it'll just stop, magically.
Ryan Gonzalez
>Such as getting to pick to what the EEA does and doesn’t apply. Well that is the essence of a trade negotiation. Europe's position was take it or leave it all along so there wasn't going to be any kind of compromise, especially with the Irish border as the article states. >Meanwhile 75% of their parliament is dedicated to blocking anything the government comes up with anyway so talks are meaningless to begin with. The parliament blocked May's deal because by they consider it a negation of the Brexit vote.
Kayden Mitchell
Read the article first.
Landon Sullivan
Amazing how continentals are feeling patriotic about a trade bloc, must be the lack of sea air I reckon.
Benjamin Carter
They shouldn't have "negotiated" for two whole years. That was absurd. Thankfully they're going hard Brexit
Jayden Stewart
What fucking trade negotiations you brain dead mong The idea behind the EEA is that it is equal to everyone. It is the whole foundation of the damn thing
John Rivera
So? They voted out so as not to be a part of it while having no say. Europe wanted it my way or the highway and now we got hard Brexit and a hard border
Caleb Harris
They want out of the EU but not out of the EEA, that’s the problem here. They will leave the EU. That’s not up for negotiation here.
Sebastian Rivera
Having the upper hand during negotiations isn't exactly worth much if you end up with no deal anyway.
Alexander Smith
Only 55% (Proddies), also that number is falling. We might get a reunited Ireland soon.
Zachary Adams
imagine thinking the EU actually has any similarity with nazism
Sebastian Scott
DUP(NI) is a big part of the reason Brexit is such a shitshow. It is within the English spirit to discard them in favor of a better odds at getting what they want
Gabriel Adams
They way it seems to have rolled was that they indeed wanted access to the common market but not being under the regulatory framework of it which is understandable having in mind what Brexit was about. That and the Irish border. It concludes with no deal.
Benjamin Ross
Well I want a new Mercedes and a mansion
Jordan Moore
It is somewhat funny to see the Bongs on the losing end. Not worth the whole trouble though. Feeling left alone by their government might even get some people to rethink if being treated badly by the british doesnt make them irish. Not that the Uk had a choice here, any decisions would have been bad.
Caleb Torres
I want my old crush back.
Samuel Johnson
>EFTA states which are party to the EEA Agreement participate in the EU's internal market without being members of the EU or the European Union Customs Union. They adopt most EU legislation concerning the single market, with notable exclusions including laws regarding the Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy.[11] The EEA's "decision-shaping" processes enable EEA EFTA member states to influence and contribute to new EEA policy and legislation from an early stage.[12] There is some room for exemptions.
Tyler Sullivan
There is room for excemption. However ‘no immigrants and only things we like’ isn’t one of them. Switzerland and Norway for example have no obligation to comply with any new EU regulation made regarding the EEA but have never chosen not to. Because when they do their membership can be suspended.
These things go both ways. If you only take what you want, the EU can only give what they want. The end result is that you have nothing
Samuel Long
Do you really think this is coincidence or that escaping is possible? This is just a soy version of Prague Spring and similar happenings. They can't do it with lead anymore so they use paper and Daily Mail headlines instead.
Tyler Perez
yep and it's over, but noone can, unilaterally, blame the bongs for stubbornness. It takes two to tango.
Blake Cruz
1. Soft border in Ireland is a must, on account of the historical peace process there which includes a remaining EU member (the Republic of Ireland). 2. Finnancial sector jobs are the some of the easiest to transfer, since most of the finnancial services these days are digital. 3. That is being said of the UK. EU has so far presented a very coherent front, while the UK side of the issue is riddled with internal strife.
Asher Turner
Why do you keep saying retarded stuff like this They never made any attempts to come up with something that works for both parties and their own domestic politics are a complete dumpsterfire.
Leo Ortiz
>coincidence Maybe they were too afraid of the financial repercussions and May was a remainer afterall.
Camden Gonzalez
Read THIS you Niggers ::::::::>>> EU bureaucrats rule your ass and u can’t do anything about it so stfu ok
Angel Brooks
May is a remainer.
Zachary Reed
May's deal didn't work. On the other hand, yes, hardline Brexitreers, so far, haven't stepped up either. As the article says, the negotiations were set up to fail and Europe is to blame for that too.
Joshua Mitchell
why would any brit care about northern island?
Justin Morales
The EU already was clear from day 1 their idea of post-Brexit relationship with Britain is that of something comparable to Switzerland and Norway. The Brits didn’t want this and never came up with anything workable.
Also in case you forgot, they are the ones who chose to leave and somehow still expect there will be relations afterwards but somehow aren’t the ones responsible to establish these Well if you cannot answer that I can’t do it either. They seemed to be very important to you during the troubles
Andrew Butler
ok and now they'll be dealing on WTO rules and establish a hard border
Aaron King
Clearly that is what they wanted since they will have their country back now
Ayden Barnes
They will suffer the consequences
Anthony Cook
Remember when we gave you those bilions when you gave everything away to niggers and lazy people Greecefag?
Kayden Parker
So will you come to balconing this summer in Magaluf or no? that and the crops It's all we care about the Brexit
Gabriel Sullivan
army training ground. plus to stop fuckwits blowing holes in england.
apart from that though before the troubles northern ireland was near completely ignored. even today most brits don't know or care about it.
