    Well that would make Brexit a huge success would it not?

      No, Britain could simply have remained and not had to endure the deleterious effects of leaving.

      Having left, now they have to work on regaining the advantages they once had.

        If Britain can manage to get back every benefit of being in the EU without actually being in the EU, that will be potentially the biggest success story that could possibly come from brexit.

          Good lord. Obviously that’s not possible.

          UK voted to leave the EU when obviously they would be worse off. Therefore, UK governance had to leave the EU, but of course they will spend the foreseeable future working to diminish the problems that leaving created.

          For example, as part of the EU you have free trade. Leaving the EU no free trade. Therefore, they’ll spend the next n years developing agreements to cut tariffs and reduce red tape.

            It’s not possible but your the one who said they would spend the next few years working to get every benefit of the EU like free trade without rejoining, if that was pulled off, then Brexit would definitely be a success.

            And they don’t have to go back to the EU although it makes the most sense, they can really go anywhere else in the world and try to get a trade deal, it’s really a matter of pride as to who they go to trade with.

              What I actually said…

              As in, the coming decades will be spent working towards all the advantages of being in the EU without joining the EU. Reduced tarrifs, immigration treaties, streamlined imports et cetera.

                Yeah, and if they can successfully achieve what you said, that would make Brexit successful, would it not?
