I am really getting fed up with the EU pushing for a deal with the UK. If this was Greece or some East European country this wouldn't happen. I do not understand why the EU is giving the UK all these chances after all the tribulations and animosity. I know that the economic impact will be there, but so be it. We are a 20 trillion dollars economy collectively, and there are over 450 million Europeans. I believe in the European project, but you must let go of the British.

@j.mangum7652 I do not understand why the EU continues the negotiations with the UK. Come on; you and I know that a no-deal Brexit is inevitable. Boris and his gang will make sure no-deal Brexit is the only outcome possible because Trump and his gang are threatening Britain that they should buy their GMO food and import tortured meat. Now, the EU has certain regulations in place that are at odds with the US's agricultural policies and since the UK wants a trade deal with the US because Trump is threatening them (also in terms of tariffs) and the US wants to export tortured meat and freakishly shaped fruits to the UK, a no-deal Brexit is imminent.

@shadzrob1234 I do economics for a living, and I know about international lists, and I know how the UK compares to the EU-15 in most domains. You are unresponsive to suggestions made by me and others that there is evidence showing that the position of the UK is tanking in this world (concerning how well it compares to other countries): you phlegmatically refute that this is true. Very well. Eventually, you and I live our separate lives in different and now disparate countries. I have only sporadically met British people, and most of those encounters only made me realize that I can go without exposure to a wide array of socio-cultural flavors. I only care about efficiency and how effective a country is compared to other countries: I keep an eye on all kinds of international lists, and I feel quite complacent about the EU's (EU-15) position in this world. I want a no-deal Brexit because I enjoy the idea of comparing a $US 3 trillion economy to a $US 20 trillion economy. I also enjoy the prospect of a United States of Europe; that just was made easier with the departure of the British as well as the further economic and political integration of the EU institutions. Imagine how effective we will get.

@j.mangum7652 So, that explains why they are bitching about the agricultural and fishing industry and a level playing field.

@bumblebee5818 What do you mean? Do you think the EU economy relies on economies like Greece and Bulgaria?

@bumblebee5818 Maybe it is best if the British walk away from the negotiation table; the EU will only drag this on. I am opposed to Brexit but I think the British are clear about what they want and how they want it, but then they should also be clear about walking away by demonstrating it. If there is one thing that the British have achieved it is the disclosure of the EU as a unwieldy apparatus.

@shadzrob1234 Look, Greece and most east-european countries do not really contribute to the EU collective depot. I think it is unreasonable to compare the EU-15 to the EU-27.
