    That doesn't represent what I think at all. Also my reaction wat exclusively one about the ludicrous idea that to get an agreement all you need is to please the home crowd of one side. Especially if that side is the side that is the bigger benificiairy of any agreement.

    Also, talk about 'punitive deals' is utter rubbish; not being a EU-member comes with not having EU-member privileges. No longer being an EU-member is what the Brits chose for. Whatever can be negotiated with the third country UK is dependent on whatever suits us, we are under no obligation defend the interests of the Brits.

    Just like you don't allow for full state's rights for Puerto Rico because Puerto Ricans chose not to be part of the USA. I hope you remember you're putting that particular territory through the wringer for the 'mere technicality' that they aren't a state of the Union.
