THE BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS - 2016-2018

Right from the beginning of the EU/UK Negotiations in 2016, the EU outgunned the UK Conservative Government.
The EU demanded that -

The UK had to agree a Divorce Bill which was eventually agree at £ 39 Billions.
I have never seen the justification or breakdown of this huge sum of money.
There was also other questions such as the future relationship of EU citizens and UK citizens post Brexit. The EU insisted that no negotiations on Trade could commence unless Part One as listed above were agreed.

Now, over 2 years there is no Trade agreement, disputes in the British Parliament and chaos.
What has the UK negotiators been doing all this time ?

First David Davies - smiling and shaking hands with his counterparts in the EU on TV - " All is well." Then, Raab doing the same "We are nearly there".  Dr Fox - "A Trade deal is in our grasp. "
Theresa May has tried her best but the fact is, the UK has not concluded a Trade deal with the EU.
This is a pathetic outcome. So what next ?

There can only be one sensible outcome to the gridlock  in Parliament  and in the EU. COMPROMISE.
What is the Compromise ?

The UK must stay in the Single Market as far as trade with the EU is concerned BUT the UK can make its own Trade deals with the rest of the World.
This means No border in Ireland between North and South, Certainty to Business and Prosperity for all.
Al the other EU concessions remain - UK has own Immigration Policy, British Parliament Supreme, British Laws supreme except for Trade between the EU and the UK when the European Court of Justice remains supreme.

We must consider the 48% who voted to stay in the EU. They get the compromise of the UK staying in the Single Market. Theresa May must abandon her Red Line.
The Leavers 52% get control over Immigration - a big reason for the Leave vote.

The present impasse is because the UK Negotiators have not been listening to the EU.
If you leave the Club you cannot enjoy the same benefits of the Club. If you leave the Single Market, you cannot have the same benefits as the members of the Single Market.

Parliament is split into factions. A complete withdrawal from the EU - NO Deal - is chaos for the UK and the EU. Stop asking for this. Norway deal, Canada deal, Switzerland deal, Bespoke deal ( which might or might not be agreed, Irish Backstop problem.

I wish I was a Politician in Parliament at this historic moment. All I can do as a humble British Citizen is to write these articles.

BUT, is anyone listening ?
