Brecon and Radnorshire

I should add that "exit day" is just a term of art for the purpose of the UK legislation. The operative date of leaving would be that set down in the EU treaty to which we are parties.

 

They'd go with it for a second reffy.

 

Thanks for this interesting post. The thing about the trade deals though could be misread. I think the reason trade deals take ages to negotiate is because of the complications of the parties negotiating positions. When we come to negotiate, I don’t think we will have a negotiation position, we’ll be going to a gunfight without a gun. We could get a trade deal quickly but with terrible terms.

 

Whereas Glamorgan and Gwent have always been Labour strongholds the non-industrialised mid-Wales constituencies have alternated between Liberal and Conservative. Further North and West Plaid has made inroads although the more industrialised N.E. of Wales is labour. And Pembrokeshire in the S.W. is Tory.

 

I enjoy these political threads especially contributions from some erudite posters like Mr O ( although I disagree with a lot of what he says) and Farnham Red.
What I don't like are these insults that are made against those of us who are 'leavers.'
Because we have a different opinion we have been called idiots, stupid, disillusioned, thick, ill-informed, brainwashed, racist, tory, don't know what we're doing etc.
(and it's not only you Donny Red who come out with these insults.)
If we have differences of opinions however wrong we think someone is we shouldn't resort to personal insults.

 

Unfortunately that now seems to be the "new normal" in politics at all levels. The days of respecting (but disagreeing with) your opponents views are long gone.
