Something DOES change. UK loses all political power inside EU. This whole joke is only on the ultranationalist/ultraroyalist english that try to convince us that "democracy" is england ruling everything because there is nothing undemocratic about the representative democracy of the EU unless the english have direct anarchist democracy and I didn't know.
Just a quick reminder that exiting EU was the easy part of this whole endeavor, and it took them 3 years to do it. Now the somehow need to negotiate the biggest, most comprehensive trade deal in the world in just 11 months.
That's the easy bit. We are so aligned with the EU it's unreal, however, if we don't want alignment, which I don't, makes it harder but happy with WTO.

So they're getting dragged out against their will on Britain's decision, and I'm commenting on how their Brexit politicians don't even seem to care about hiding how Britain-centric everything they do is, at the expense of the other three countries in the UK. No wonder everyone's talking about the UK soon breaking up.
@@finnspeak6093 I stand partially corrected. Great Britain includes Wales, Scotland, and England - the countries on the island itself. The term doesn't seem to include Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is the whole reason why the UK is formally called "The United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland," correct? Because Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, but is a part of the UK. So I correct myself on Scotland and Wales, but it still basically leaves out Northern Ireland. Which is fitting considering how much every proposed Brexit plan screws NI over. Edit: My auto-correct is _over_ auto correcting to the point of aggravation.

peace is not going to happen until scarcity of resources is dealt with, people who need help will be provided such. i am fairly confident we'll be in war before we can have peace. Especially given how several superpowers (u.s.a., Russia, China) are pushing themselves into nations with strategic resource's breeziness - a move that is historically cause for wars. Only way to get around that would be if we can somehow make space travel financially viable enough to enable mining of asteroids, creating space farming and importantly getting some people to live on other celestial bodies than Earth.

Incorrect. The previous proposed agreement gave the EU the ability to hold the UK adherent to its unmeritocratic international trade policy without any unilateral exit mechanism. This was entirely unacceptable. There was nothing else widely contentious in the agreement. It was perfectly OK but even more importantly, entirely ephemeral. Even I would have signed it.

@Sim James Britain is an island nation dependant on international trade. Brexit just shifts some of that control from your trade partners in Europe to your other big trade partners (the US and China).

Nigel Farage said that he is for common market etc., but that they don't need European Court of Justice. Question then is: How would compliance with common market rules be enforced without a European Court of Justice? If a country stops treating others according to the rules, what remedy would there be? You need a court to rule on such disputes.
Nigel Farage is in the privileged position of being a populist. He can lie without ever having to pay any consequences. There's no point arguing when people just hear what they want to hear and ignore the rest.

From a European perspective, Brexit is good for the federalists and bad for the functionalists. Personally, I'm torn on the issue. I just hope that the federalised EU becomes more direct democratic instead of the representative representative democracy in place at the moment.
I also hop that EU bexome more direct democratic. But to all nay sayers that are complaining thats EU is bad, becauseit not being democratuc enough, remember thats not her foult. EU could become more democratic, if member states agree to give more power to the EU parlament. But the would have to sacrifice some of their own power.
tehMorion in our current situation we only vote for the european parliament, which is similar to our national elections in the Netherlands. Pretty sure it’s the same in UK, where to my understanding you vote for the house of commons, not for the house of lords or the cabinet. How is the EU less democratic than the UK?
tehMorion as I see it, as one who lives in a federal state, the European Union IS Democratic. Britain’s complains sound like the State of South Carolina arguing that the USA is a dictatorship because there aren’t any lead painted houses. Most of the things that oppressed Britain, were EU laws passed by Britain (like cheep Chinese imports they wanted to get cheep building materials. After which they protest the EU was oppressing them by forcing BRITISH businesses out of business by demanding the EU legalize it. As I see it, Britain wants to Brexit to become a British Empire, As I see it, they will start a war that will end with the United States of Europe being formed and then Britain being forced annexed during the European Union’s military occupation of the British Isles.
The problem is that, if it becomes more democratic, it might erode the sovereignty of the individual members. I'm generally in favour of that, but there might come a time when it might pose an existential problem for a member. Imagine, for example, that the EU parliament votes to allow Catalonia to hold an independence referendum. Even if Spain were to still have the option to veto it, the drama would be off the charts.
How would that work? We hold referendums for 470 million citizens whenever an idea such as "let's build a wind farm in international waters off the coast of Norway" comes up?
How dare Farage use Ireland to back up his idiotic notions? How dare he twist my vote in both Lisbon Treaty referendums and why I changed my mind? Am glad Mairead McGuinness cut his diatribe off. Thank goodness he is off to the States. Europe has had enough of his gracelessness, tactlessness and rudeness.
@Peter Inácio Look up it's history man. The Lisbon Treaty was put to the Irish through a referendum twice. Once it was rejected but after amendments were made, it was then excepted. The Irish Republics Constitution gives us the right to referendums on issues which effect it, and EU treaties effect it. Unlike our British neighbours we have many referendums here and are quiet good at them.
@Fhjthnl Lol Iuyo Ok, evidence of mass migration? Evidence of racist EU policies? Evidence of far left EU leanings? Please just one piece of evidence to back up your claims. As for Irish culture becoming a footnote in history, it was tried before, didn't happen. Go research the Penal law period of Ireland 1690 to 1820s. No representation yet our language, music, sports, religion, even our stories were all banned, oftentimes under penalty of death. Yet we are still here. Once again, evidence of the EU pushing cultural conformity as the British did at that time?
How is it that it's been years, they're finally leaving after an agonizingly uncertain stasis, and now they're still going to be in that same stasis for another year until anything actually happens?
I think it's sad, that the UK never chose to take a leading role in Europe/the Union. Was reminded of that feeling when listening to the excerpt of Mr Verhofstads speech. Regarding their not so small role giving blood to liberate Europe twice (sorry from Germany by the way), as well as Mr Churchill's visions, the UK should have been leading the Union of the European Nations towards peace, towards not only the Common Market, but also towards a Common Peace Pact (referring to the idea of a European Army, though it must not necessarily be an Army, but at least some Joint Peacekeeping Instrument). Alas, they choose to go their own way. It's sad.
Britain had a leading role, among others Britain pushed through free people movements rules when Eastern European countries joined EU. Britain’s Brexit supporters should be ashamed of all their lies and hypocrisy!
thanx to the allies for liberating (most of) Germany too in WWII. But the UK allied itself with the Stalinist USSR to fight for freedom and Poland (and many other countries in central and eastern Europe) paid the price. First the UK did not fight for Poland in 1939 then it sold Poland of to the USSR and now they want to kick the Poles out of the UK. I'm getting a bit pissed of by British hypocrisy, on behalf of my polish fellow Europeans.
If anything UK was a stick in the wheels for future EU unification. Hopefully we will able to make EU army and make European Federation. That's the problem with UK - it wants to be in charge, not a part of.
@@LordAlacorn Well… They could have been in charge on the front of the EU. And on the front of the EU Army. Now without them, maybe the EU is going to build its Army. And then the UK will have its own Army. Next to EU Army (as well as the US Army etc.). But in comparison? I guess their army will probably be smaller than the EU's. If they weren't going it all alone, they could be the leader in this big EU Army. IF the EU builds its army. Which I'm also not saying it should. (All I am doing is trying to take Mr Farages final argument of the EU Army and dissect it, counter it, by comparing the two scenarios of a EU army without the UK and a EU army LEAD BY the UK - which would have been possible. Of course, regarding the EU Army there are other possible scenarios, but I was focussing as laid out.)
klein weich Thank you, there should have been a more nuanced representation of the last months of WW2, unfortunately Hollywood took over and together with Churchill’s Nobel prize wining bibliography, all else became irrelevant!
Can someone explain to me how it will be easy to negotiate a trade deal based of the argument that the UK and the EU are closely alligned, when the UK are against the four freedoms that the allignment is based upon?
GH1618 agreed. But the EU and China do not trade on internal EU rules. They are worse. And just like any similar agreements, they take time. Years and decades. If the UK wants terms that are better, how can they achieve them without reneging on their promises during the Brexit-campaign?
Peter Inácio I live in Norway. The UK had a better deal than us, and we have to abide by the four freedoms and pay admission. And we get no vote in anything. If the UK accepts that kind of deal they might have fishing separate, but almost nothing else. People will still be able to come and work etc.
@@unformedeight I'd rather you simply made an attempt at independent thought and articulate yourself right here and now rather than wasting my valuable time on a ridiculous quest to identify what *_you_* are banging on about . So go ahead, if you can...
In my opinion, it's amazing that the EU is allowing us such a reasonable deal. You'd think that they wouldn't want to be perceived as giving us a better deal so that other countries won't leave, so if we don't take advantage of this great opportunity, I'll be amazed! With that offer, there's easily enough time to conclude an agreement, but I get the feeling that it won't be as easy as that. It really is sad to let them go.
@@davidmorris80 Well, that's true, but I just didn't expect them to allow us such a good deal when we're leaving. Although they also want the benefits of our effective remaining as they have offered, it almost defeats the object of our leaving, which you wouldn't imagine that they'd want because we're receiving similar benefits as we had with potentially other, new ones from leaving.
@@M.M.83-U Well, yeah, but if the EU wants to remain together, they probably don't want to be looking as though it's just as good outside as it is inside. However, they are offering us a deal which has similar terms to being inside. I never said otherwise to your statement.
This really is a sad sight to see. Our European neighbours, wishing we weren't going because they can see the mistake we're making. Alas, I've accepted the cause for Remain is dead, but it doesn't mean I don't want us to rejoin. I think it might take a decade or two, but I believe someday, the UK, in whatever form it still exists, will rejoin the European Union.
@steady eddie Fantasy and denial of reality is not a sensible approach to life. All polling done since the UK's deeply stupid referendum has shown significant increases in support for EU membership in all the EU's member states. Conversely, support for even holding an 'In-Out' referendum where constitutionally possible, never mind actually leaving, has fallen off a cliff. Practically every single one of the EU's Eurosceptic parties have quietly removed their commitment to hold referenda on EU and\or Euro membership from their party platforms. Meanwhile, the UK will be in the dustbin of history quite soon. It has, at best, a life expectancy of ten years...
The European Parliament should not have chosen Auld Lang Syne as a good bye but Ode an die Freude as an expression of relief that the UK is finally gone. For good I hope.

There is mainly 1 reson I think brexit is stupid, the UK had many privileges in the EU compared to the rest of the member nations but they are abandoning them to have a less good deal than they had before. Plus, when they come back (because i am convinced they will one day) they will have to negotiate with a stronger EU than before and they will get non of the advantages they had. Basically they are leaving their very good deal to come back and get a worst one

She is highly unpopular in Germany, wasted millions in tax money on failed projects, and simply wasn't elected into her position in the European Commission. She only got the job because of her relations with certain people. I generally approve the method by which the European Parliament is elected, but as much as I hate to admit it: Farage is right in the regard that the position of the president of the Commission is too powerful to be assigned behind closed doors. Apart from that I think that my personal hero Bertrand Russell - a wise Brit who certainly would have opposed Farage's views - would probably weep for Britain. I hope I will be proven wrong, but I fear that the British working class will one day condemn the day that Britain left the EU and its protectionism for an uncontrolled free market that will ultimately lead to an ever more unequal wealth distribution... And therefore rising child poverty, privatization of public services and the further decay of public education.

Yeh Kev I really would not worry about that. If you're a hard worker you will get that job, you'll just have to fill out a bit more paperwork to get there.

As I understand it they have until July to agree a trade deal and after that they will need an extension but I dont think thats going to happen so we will leave on WTO rules which is what I think we should do.
They have until December 31 to agree to a new trade deal, but they have until July to decide if they want to have an extension beyond that or not.

Yup. The only place to negotiate with the EU is from outside the EU. The UK leaving on WTO rules is not the perfect situation but it pulls the rug from under the EU's negotiating position. Watch the Euro over the next three months - my money (literally) is on it dropping sharply.
@ What people dont understand is that if we leave on WTO is that we will still be able to trade with Europe just in a different way but it will mean we can put our own tariffs on exported and imported goods which means more money for us among other points as well. I used to be a remainer but after 3 years I have learned how much of a doomed project the EU actually is.

@@CommanderPrime Tariffs, in general are a bad idea - we know that from the corn laws. What the WTO does is stop countries adopting absurd tariffs. The UK should simply operate on zero tariffs, it's not intuitive but it would work out better for everyone. It the EU finds it necessary not to reciprocate then they would suffer, not us.
Thank god the confusion is finally over and I don't have to go back to high school sociology/geography classes. Growing up outside EU and outside UK, no teacher ever told us UK was part of a higher government than the Queen's own government. I never knew that UK was part of EU until Brexit became a thing.

Because Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, but is a part of the UK. So I correct myself on Scotland and Wales, but it still basically leaves out Northern Ireland.

The previous proposed agreement gave the EU the ability to hold the UK adherent to its unmeritocratic international trade policy without any unilateral exit mechanism. This was entirely unacceptable.
There was nothing else widely contentious in the agreement. It was perfectly OK but even more importantly, entirely ephemeral. Even I would have signed it.

From a European perspective, Brexit is good for the federalists and bad for the functionalists. Personally, I'm torn on the issue. I just hope that the federalised EU becomes more direct democratic instead of the representative representative democracy in place at the moment.
I also hop that EU bexome more direct democratic. But to all nay sayers that are complaining thats EU is bad, becauseit not being democratuc enough, remember thats not her foult. EU could become more democratic, if member states agree to give more power to the EU parlament. But the would have to sacrifice some of their own power.
tehMorion in our current situation we only vote for the european parliament, which is similar to our national elections in the Netherlands. Pretty sure it’s the same in UK, where to my understanding you vote for the house of commons, not for the house of lords or the cabinet. How is the EU less democratic than the UK?
tehMorion as I see it, as one who lives in a federal state, the European Union IS Democratic.
Britain’s complains sound like the State of South Carolina arguing that the USA is a dictatorship because there aren’t any lead painted houses.
Most of the things that oppressed Britain, were EU laws passed by Britain (like cheep Chinese imports they wanted to get cheep building materials.
After which they protest the EU was oppressing them by forcing BRITISH businesses out of business by demanding the EU legalize it.
As I see it, Britain wants to Brexit to become a British Empire, As I see it, they will start a war that will end with the United States of Europe being formed and then Britain being forced annexed during the European Union’s military occupation of the British Isles.
The problem is that, if it becomes more democratic, it might erode the sovereignty of the individual members. I'm generally in favour of that, but there might come a time when it might pose an existential problem for a member. Imagine, for example, that the EU parliament votes to allow Catalonia to hold an independence referendum. Even if Spain were to still have the option to veto it, the drama would be off the charts.
How would that work? We hold referendums for 470 million citizens whenever an idea such as "let's build a wind farm in international waters off the coast of Norway" comes up?
How dare Farage use Ireland to back up his idiotic notions? How dare he twist my vote in both Lisbon Treaty referendums and why I changed my mind? Am glad Mairead McGuinness cut his diatribe off. Thank goodness he is off to the States. Europe has had enough of his gracelessness, tactlessness and rudeness.
@Peter Inácio Look up it's history man. The Lisbon Treaty was put to the Irish through a referendum twice. Once it was rejected but after amendments were made, it was then excepted. The Irish Republics Constitution gives us the right to referendums on issues which effect it, and EU treaties effect it. Unlike our British neighbours we have many referendums here and are quiet good at them.
@Fhjthnl Lol Iuyo Ok, evidence of mass migration? Evidence of racist EU policies? Evidence of far left EU leanings? Please just one piece of evidence to back up your claims.
As for Irish culture becoming a footnote in history, it was tried before, didn't happen. Go research the Penal law period of Ireland 1690 to 1820s. No representation yet our language, music, sports, religion, even our stories were all banned, oftentimes under penalty of death. Yet we are still here.
Once again, evidence of the EU pushing cultural conformity as the British did at that time?

I think it's sad, that the UK never chose to take a leading role in Europe/the Union. Was reminded of that feeling when listening to the excerpt of Mr Verhofstads speech. Regarding their not so small role giving blood to liberate Europe twice (sorry from Germany by the way), as well as Mr Churchill's visions, the UK should have been leading the Union of the European Nations towards peace, towards not only the Common Market, but also towards a Common Peace Pact (referring to the idea of a European Army, though it must not necessarily be an Army, but at least some Joint Peacekeeping Instrument). Alas, they choose to go their own way. It's sad.
Britain had a leading role, among others Britain pushed through free people movements rules when Eastern European countries joined EU. Britain’s Brexit supporters should be ashamed of all their lies and hypocrisy!
thanx to the allies for liberating (most of) Germany too in WWII. But the UK allied itself with the Stalinist USSR to fight for freedom and Poland (and many other countries in central and eastern Europe) paid the price. First the UK did not fight for Poland in 1939 then it sold Poland of to the USSR and now they want to kick the Poles out of the UK. I'm getting a bit pissed of by British hypocrisy, on behalf of my polish fellow Europeans.
If anything UK was a stick in the wheels for future EU unification. Hopefully we will able to make EU army and make European Federation.
That's the problem with UK - it wants to be in charge, not a part of.
@@LordAlacorn Well… They could have been in charge on the front of the EU. And on the front of the EU Army. Now without them, maybe the EU is going to build its Army. And then the UK will have its own Army. Next to EU Army (as well as the US Army etc.). But in comparison? I guess their army will probably be smaller than the EU's. If they weren't going it all alone, they could be the leader in this big EU Army.
IF the EU builds its army. Which I'm also not saying it should. (All I am doing is trying to take Mr Farages final argument of the EU Army and dissect it, counter it, by comparing the two scenarios of a EU army without the UK and a EU army LEAD BY the UK - which would have been possible.
Of course, regarding the EU Army there are other possible scenarios, but I was focussing as laid out.)
klein weich Thank you, there should have been a more nuanced representation of the last months of WW2, unfortunately Hollywood took over and together with Churchill’s Nobel prize wining bibliography, all else became irrelevant!
Can someone explain to me how it will be easy to negotiate a trade deal based of the argument that the UK and the EU are closely alligned, when the UK are against the four freedoms that the allignment is based upon?
Fredrik Høgestøl - Trade relations are separate from political compatibility. If that were not so, the EU would not trade with China.
GH1618 agreed. But the EU and China do not trade on internal EU rules. They are worse. And just like any similar agreements, they take time. Years and decades. If the UK wants terms that are better, how can they achieve them without reneging on their promises during the Brexit-campaign?
Peter Inácio I live in Norway. The UK had a better deal than us, and we have to abide by the four freedoms and pay admission. And we get no vote in anything. If the UK accepts that kind of deal they might have fishing separate, but almost nothing else. People will still be able to come and work etc.
Can't wait to hear how they'll tackle the good friday agreement

In my opinion, it's amazing that the EU is allowing us such a reasonable deal. You'd think that they wouldn't want to be perceived as giving us a better deal so that other countries won't leave, so if we don't take advantage of this great opportunity, I'll be amazed! With that offer, there's easily enough time to conclude an agreement, but I get the feeling that it won't be as easy as that. It really is sad to let them go.
UK is a massive market for European goods, think Audi Vw.
@@davidmorris80 Well, that's true, but I just didn't expect them to allow us such a good deal when we're leaving. Although they also want the benefits of our effective remaining as they have offered, it almost defeats the object of our leaving, which you wouldn't imagine that they'd want because we're receiving similar benefits as we had with potentially other, new ones from leaving.
We'r just applying your right to leave, the UE membership is a choise not an obligation.
@@M.M.83-U Well, yeah, but if the EU wants to remain together, they probably don't want to be looking as though it's just as good outside as it is inside. However, they are offering us a deal which has similar terms to being inside. I never said otherwise to your statement.
I thought the Transition Period began on 29 March 2017.
I guess this is the transition’s transition period

This really is a sad sight to see. Our European neighbours, wishing we weren't going because they can see the mistake we're making. Alas, I've accepted the cause for Remain is dead, but it doesn't mean I don't want us to rejoin. I think it might take a decade or two, but I believe someday, the UK, in whatever form it still exists, will rejoin the European Union.
@Pazusky That's very true. I don't think rejoining will be possible at all whilst the Tory party and the voter base is in its current configuration
Brexit has strengthened the EU, Thank you England!
Go ahead and entertain us with an explanation as to why this statement should be held as true.
@steady eddie
Fantasy and denial of reality is not a sensible approach to life.
All polling done since the UK's deeply stupid referendum has shown significant increases in support for EU membership in all the EU's member states.
Conversely, support for even holding an 'In-Out' referendum where constitutionally possible, never mind actually leaving, has fallen off a cliff.
Practically every single one of the EU's Eurosceptic parties have quietly removed their commitment to hold referenda on EU and\or Euro membership from their party platforms.
Meanwhile, the UK will be in the dustbin of history quite soon. It has, at best, a life expectancy of ten years...
The European Parliament should not have chosen Auld Lang Syne as a good bye but Ode an die Freude as an expression of relief that the UK is finally gone. For good I hope.

Gird your loins, Trump likes it dry or at best lubricated with tears. You want to lay with the Americans, expect to enjoy some of our loathsome vermin.
There is mainly 1 reson I think brexit is stupid, the UK had many privileges in the EU compared to the rest of the member nations but they are abandoning them to have a less good deal than they had before. Plus, when they come back (because i am convinced they will one day) they will have to negotiate with a stronger EU than before and they will get non of the advantages they had. Basically they are leaving their very good deal to come back and get a worst one
This just feels right and I think this isn't just independence for Britian but for the EU too. Bussells will no longer have a half ass member they have to accommodate, Britian won't be forced to be in an entity will opposite interests, it's a win-win in my book and we can be friends, but we don't have to be bound to one another.
It's a nice ideal, which won't happen while UK is run by people who made their careers by lying about the EU, and spewing toxic insults at it.

@@gogledhol The Scots chose to remain in a razor-thin majority - not sure it really means much. And they never thought England would ever leave the EU when they did vote in the referendum.
From here on there are 4 paths possible within the transition period. 1, the UK accepts the offer of free access in exchange for the level playing field regulations. 2, a deal with another country or group of countries is copied with minor alterations. 3, a minimal agreement is reached, containing only the most essential parts like a security arrangement, extradition treaty and the like. 4, no deal is reached.

@Sassy The Sasquatch The 'Y'-like character in Middle English wasn't a 'y'; it was a "thorn" - a single character 'th', like theta in Greek - that originally looked somewhat different, but by the time printing came along, resembled a 'Y' and that was the character used by printers who didn't have the thorn character available in their latin alphabets. At the time, "Ye" was pronounced "the" - it's only later, whether through ignorance or as an in-joke, that people started pronouncing it differently.

I don't think he is a liar but he has a very biased opinion of reality
The whole time that neo Hitler Farage was talking, I was doing a wanker symbol at my screen to the point where my arm hurt and I had to swap hands
I’m not familiar with the wanker symbol, but I’m sure you (in your mirror) have mastered it over the years.
I'm a supporter of the EU, but Von der Leyen is simply an example for what is going completely wrong in the Union. She is highly unpopular in Germany, wasted millions in tax money on failed projects, and simply wasn't elected into her position in the European Commission. She only got the job because of her relations with certain people. I generally approve the method by which the European Parliament is elected, but as much as I hate to admit it: Farage is right in the regard that the position of the president of the Commission is too powerful to be assigned behind closed doors.
Apart from that I think that my personal hero Bertrand Russell - a wise Brit who certainly would have opposed Farage's views - would probably weep for Britain.
I hope I will be proven wrong, but I fear that the British working class will one day condemn the day that Britain left the EU and its protectionism for an uncontrolled free market that will ultimately lead to an ever more unequal wealth distribution... And therefore rising child poverty, privatization of public services and the further decay of public education.

They have until December 31 to agree to a new trade deal, but they have until July to decide if they want to have an extension beyond that or not.
Yup. The only place to negotiate with the EU is from outside the EU. The UK leaving on WTO rules is not the perfect situation but it pulls the rug from under the EU's negotiating position. Watch the Euro over the next three months - my money (literally) is on it dropping sharply.
@@Boreasos Ah I understand
@ What people dont understand is that if we leave on WTO is that we will still be able to trade with Europe just in a different way but it will mean we can put our own tariffs on exported and imported goods which means more money for us among other points as well. I used to be a remainer but after 3 years I have learned how much of a doomed project the EU actually is.
@@CommanderPrime Tariffs, in general are a bad idea - we know that from the corn laws. What the WTO does is stop countries adopting absurd tariffs. The UK should simply operate on zero tariffs, it's not intuitive but it would work out better for everyone. It the EU finds it necessary not to reciprocate then they would suffer, not us.
