Really? Comparing one against one where there is potentially one against many is a fallacy
Since June 2019, a spat between the EU and Switzerland has meant that the bloc’s exchanges have been banned from Swiss shares.
But with the UK no longer a member of the EU, Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has again approved UK trading venues.
Prior to the ban, London exchanges handled more than a quarter of Swiss shares every day – some €1.2bn, according to the CBOE.
Ever closer union is in the opening paragraph of the treaty itself. Then it was "between the European peoples" (since adapted to include between the member states) but it's not an interpretation. Whether it meant leading to a political union is debatable, but it has always been in the treaties we signed..That isn’t the actual treaty but an interpretation of it.
The actual treaty states the “aim of the Community, by establishing a Common Market and progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States, to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities and balance expansion, an increased stability, an accelerated raising of living and closer relations between its Member States”
Tell me is that a complete picture of what the EU has become? Or has it perhaps added to those aims somewhat? Well I know the answer because it required the Maastricht Treaty to become what it is today (and yes one the UK government of the time signed up to)
Just say you were talking cobblers. Everyone knows when you avoid challenges. You're the Mahrez of the thread.You are too locked in your own reality to have time for anything else
For me - this post just confirms that you really over ever understood matters during 2017-2019 at a superficial level
Local political word is that the May local elections will go ahead. Tories have been harvesting postal votes, but more importantly we know local traders (especially any with international trade) are facing real difficulties but say it won't feed into prices and supply until the summer.You really have no idea the shit storm that's going on right now do you. I envy you a bit.

You don't even know who that isDamn, that is cold...
Or - the more likely scenario......I think there's two entirely plausible scenarios at play. One, we didn't bother to read the detail of the deal, or two, we did and just hoped it would never come up. Whichever it is, and I'm guessing the first, the shambles last week means the govt has an opportunity to try and blame it on the EU now and will milk it for all it's worth

Yes apologies, agreed that was in the opening part but not defined in the articles itself which I assume is what forms the legal framework of the agreement? It would have been useful if someone had said “erm, what does that mean exactly”!! They’d only have needed to run it past “off topic” and we’d have sorted it for them.Ever closer union is in the opening paragraph of the treaty itself.

At least as much as you I would suggestYou really have no idea the shit storm that's going on right now do you. I envy you a bit.
You are simply repeating a nonsense question with:It wasn't a question. It was a statement, carefully worded to exclude the things that make leaving the EU more important for you than the damage to trade.
Question then: will the benefit of a bit more trade with the Pacific outweigh the loss of trade with the EU?
You really don't.At least as much as you I would suggest
But........
I seem to also have a far better understanding of what the causes are and what could have been done to mitigate the issues - and where the responsibility lies
Out of interest, are you as fantastic as you seem to think you are?At least as much as you I would suggest

Bless - you can at least take solace in the admiration of your reducing number of acolytes;-)Sadly, I have moved on from ridicule to pity.
Nope - just avoiding getting involved in your nonsenseJust say you were talking cobblers. Everyone knows when you avoid challenges. You're the Mahrez of the thread.
It's great news that London's trade in European equities is now only down 80% rather than 100%.And the positive news just keeps on coming.
But... the fish or something...
See, things are improving rather than getting worse like what was theorised by the Doomers.It's great news that London's trade in European equities is now only down 80% rather than 100%.
And the fish are still happily swimming around in the knowledge there's no market for them so they don't have to worry about being caught.
All good.
