Roll over trade deal with Canada

Slightly jumping the gun there Coops.

The Canadian government has yet to vote on the continuity deal. One amendment has been added "respect the GFA in form and spirit", which is due to be debated this week and unlikely to be ratified before Jan 1st.

How about the rest of it? Bear in mind you've not come up with anything at all that's going to be better, which was the question.

I never said I had anything better. Posters were stating about trade deals to which I pointed out a roll over trade deal with canada (subject to a vote)

If it's not better why did you vote for it and relentlessly push the case for it given the hassle and the expense? Both of which are extortionate with, by your own admission are not going to be any better than what we have?

My post is in relation to the canada roll over deal only.

The rest will pan out over time.

I’m not too fussed about the rest of it at the moment (well not while the match is on)

"Tariffs would mostly only apply if no free trade agreement is concluded between the EU and UK"

So that is all balls if Boris can't sort the FTA?

I knew there was a reason why I didn't bother with responding to you. Thanks for reminding me. I have other, and better ways to waste my time.

If its been mention sorry
Cant see how England could make Scotland and Wales stay with them without giving them the opportunity to do the same as NI?

Wales has been annexed to England for hundreds of years. It does not have the same status as Scotland or NI. There is no separate legal system in Wales. Welsh independence is a good deal harder to envisage than Scotland or N Ireland.
 
Given that Wales has its own Parliament [Senedd Cymru] and geographical borders: there is no legal precident which dictates the "Union" is permanent, or that the relationship between the three countries on the UK mainland has to remain as it is now.

That's true, but there has to be some structure on which you build an independent country. That isn't in place in Wales.

There isn't the support for independence in Wales as in Scotland for sure. The majority of the population live close to the M4 corridor, which makes it more economically linked to England by reason of geography.

It appears that there is more momentum for increased autonomy for the Welsh and Scottish people than at anytime in the last 50 years.
I agree - we will have to see how the current political situation developes (y)
