I feel sure that Nissan, who have confirmed plant expansion, have a better idea on how to conduct
business post Brexit than you do. Tell me where the EU has said it will slap an import levy on
British built cars.
There may be, there may be not, the SMMT are not the ones who make the rules, so again just supposition.
There will be a tariff on imported EU goods if that happened too.
LOL. So a referendum on the minute, technical details of a political deal is fine, with 2nd preferences thrown in for good measure but a straight in/out referendum is too complex for voters. Got it. Very European of you.
How would that work?
Result:
1) 35%
2) 20%
3) 45%
Who wins?
Ah, so no worries on either count then.Nissan UK sell no cars to the EU. They sell them to the Swiss Division as an intra-company transfer then the Swiss sell them into Europe. I expect other manufacturers in the UK will do the same. Having said that the pound to euro has dropped 12% already offsetting the 10% maximum EU tariff. Which is one reason why our exports are rising. Even before the referendum the world's laziest central banker was saying the pound was overvalued so the pound is finding it's real value.

Lol - you wrote anal.If you read my origanal post you will that see I didnt say that there should be a 2nd referendum, just that if there were to be one it should offer 3 choices.
It's the EU way. I see they were chastising Poland yesterday about a lack of democracy. Which is nearly as funny as when the unelected leader of the EU met the unelected leader of Ukraine to complain about an election in Crimea.3rd referendum.
Everyone knows the EU way is to keep voting until they get the result they want.
I think we all know that business investment depends on profits not politics.Ah, so no worries on either count then.
The EU will only give us this, the EU won't give us that. Everything from remainers is predicated on anDepends on your view of what will happen post Brexit. Most leavers seem to be of the opinion that the UK holds a strong hand at the negotiating table ..... i don't believe that to be the case. They will allow us to import what they want and they will export to us what they want to.
Bearing in mind we wanted to regain 'control' (whatever that is) it would seem that we have just thrown away the best trade deal ever together with the jobs that went with that.
The EU will only give us the scraps off the table Im afraid ,,,,,,,
Of course it does. Take away those profits in pursuit of some federalist dream and the takers won't last long.I think we all know that business investment depends on profits not politics.
The EU will only give us this, the EU won't give us that. Everything from remainers is predicated on an
assumption that we must tremble in fear at what the bureaucracy of a so called trading club has decided to impose.
There is a school of thought that the EU will not allow Britain to leave the EU without penalties, or others might get the
same idea and decide to up sticks. Put yourself in the position of car makers, wine growers, flower sellers, cheese makers
etc; etc; in the EU who are, at present, dealing with UK businesses, quite happily.
Then some pipsqueak from Luxembourg tells them that because their customer has decided to leave, and he is going to
'Punish' them by imposing tariffs, making red tape more complicated, and generally making life difficult; all you
EU businesses relying on UK trade will have to suffer, because us Brussels people said so.
Nothing of great import like this has happened yet, and I very much doubt it will, business is the driver of everything.
Possibly, but they'd be rioting alongside an awful lot of brickies and joiners.
Hello Ancient, which bit of 'we can't have the all the benefits of tariff free frictionless trade without accepting the EU rules on immigration,ECJ, budget payments etc' don't you understand?The EU will only give us this, the EU won't give us that. Everything from remainers is predicated on an

Good morning Len. As we have just voted to reject EU rules, the ECJ and budget payments, in a referendum,Hello Ancient, which bit of 'we can't have the all the benefits of tariff free frictionless trade without accepting the EU rules on immigration,ECJ, budget payments etc' don't you understand?
Len
Well, if you think that the referendum was won solely by hordes of Chipping Sodbury womens instituteI highly doubt it.
Good morning Len. As we have just voted to reject EU rules, the ECJ and budget payments, in a referendum,
then, I think it is self evident that their rules were understood. We are now in discussions on whether a mutual
agreement can be made in order to facilitate future trade with the EU, how that will pan out, as yet, we don't know,
but I keep seeing on here how we won't get this, we'll not get that, we'll never get the other.
If, in a couple of years we don't get anything like a reasonable deal, and we do indeed bow the knee to Juncker and Co,
and meekly accept, in true Cameron style, then I'll accept that the collective of naysayers had a point.
Until then, we wait and see.
Blessed are the cheese makers.same idea and decide to up sticks. Put yourself in the position of car makers, wine growers, flower sellers, cheese makers
