Sadly for any scare factor, so is the number of people in the EU - about 446,000,000. So under €2 each. I think they may be able to manage to find that without the UK.

Mavideol Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 1 hour ago, JonnyF said: The amount of tax on EU goods sold in the UK will increase. Hence EU goods will be comparatively more expensive and UK consumers will start buying their goods from elsewhere. It's a big competitive world out there, lots of countries with cheaper products than the EU. They are not the only shop in the village as they are about to find out. Say GoodBye to Treasure Island. And the Fish. And 10 Billion a year towards the wealth transfer scheme. Maybe they can let Turkey join to plug that gaping hole. ???? and where would that be. Poland? China? North Korea? come on mate, open your eyes, get real.

"True; EU membership is not required to access the single market. But that access is not as free as EU members enjoy. For example, the USA has access but quotas are imposed on it's goods." That is not the full, unfettered access promised by Johnson, Gove and the rest of Vote.Leave Full access by a non EU state is possible; but there are conditions. Again to repeat what I told you on Saturday: "EFTA members have access to varying degrees. For example, Norway has full access. But it pays a contribution to the EU budget to gain that access and has to sign up most of the rules of the club, including its common regulations and standards, though Norway is exempt from EU rules on agriculture, fisheries, justice and home affairs. The downside for Norway is that it has no say over how the rules of the single market are created and has to abide by the rulings of the ECJ as they pertain to the single market. You are right that in order to have the full, unfettered access promised by Vote.Leave to the single marker, non EU member states do have to agree to the four freedoms. "Norway, and the other EFTA members plus Switzerland have also had to sign up to the FoM directive to get access to the single market." So to maintain the full access to the single market promised by Vote.Leave we would have to accept the four freedoms, including the FoM directive, and agree to be bound by EU law when it came to settling disputes. So why bother leaving the EU in the first place? But we have left, and a UK outside the EU, even a UK in EFTA, was never going to get the continued, unfettered access to the single market promised by Vote.Leave. Cameron knew that and said so; but his words were dismissed by Johnson, Gove etc. as "Project Fear." Now that Cameron's warning is being proven true, Brexiteers are blaming the EU for not granting us something no other non member has!

The customs union itself was rarely mentioned before the referendum, as far as we’ve seen. There are some cases where Leave campaigners appeared to suggest the UK could stay in the single market after a vote to leave, although these examples aren’t all necessarily as straightforward as they look. In any case, they are rare exceptions, rather than the rule.
