Popular Post Loiner Posted October 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2020 8 minutes ago, Mavideol said: do you know the basic principle of business making deals with different people from different countries with different education, back ground.... a deal it's only good if both parties deal in good faith and a good deal it's only good if good for all the parties involved, if one side tries to underscore the other it will never be a good deal, sooner or later it will come back biting one's rear end, thus always deal in good faith, making a deal it's not or should not be a competition, nobody should try beating the (opponent) other side but instead should try to work together, if one side feels the other side to be dealing in bad faith it all falls as trust will be lost and replaced with distrust/untrustworthy All deals of this type are a competition in which both sides aim is to get the best out of the deal for their own side. The EU wants more than just a trade deal, but to restrict UK policy and world trade, while imposing EU controls and law on the very country which just left their union because we did not want those EU regulations. Negotiations trying to tie us back into the EU is what makes us distrust the untrustworthy EU, there's no working together with them. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it gets to mid range models the fleet buyers will begin to reconsider cheaper manufacturers. Previous purchasers of entry level models will definitely swap back to cheaper manufacturers. All because the EU don't want a deal at any price. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at recent European polls it appears not everyone out of the 450 million people in Europe wishes to remain in the EU and weren't aware when their countries voted to join the EU that they were entering into a contract that is similar to the now illegal perpetual timeshare contracts. If the EU is so great there shouldn't be an issue holding national referendum every 5 or 10 years or is it the case they are not confident that every country would vote yes to remain in the EU 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well do away with the election in 2024 while you're at it. Nobody has been disenfranchised. In any democratic decision making process there will be those whose "side" does not win. In any general election there will be those whose favoured party do not win enough seats to form a government. That is not the same as being disenfranchised. In both the referendum and the subsequent general elections you had the same opportunity and right to vote (assuming that you are over 18 and a British Citizen) as anyone else. Your faction in the referendum (remain) lost by 48% to 52%. That is not being disenfranchised. I'm taking a guess that your favoured party in the two subsequent general elections failed to win a majority of seats. Again, that is not the same as being disenfranchised. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are usually a few ways to terminate a contract without breaking it. These type of deals are often for a given period. You may need to talk to Tony Bliar about that.

And perhaps you ought to understand the nature and context of the conversation in question before trying to pull me up about. Below is @Loiner post which I commented on, together with my reply. Tell me how replacing 48% with 37%, 1% or any number between 0.1 - 100 alters the nub of my argument? Or are you are suggesting that it is ok to disenfranchise part of the electorate? @loiner: Apologies for quoting your post here, but necessary to make my point. _-------- Remainers and remainerism was a consequence of the referendum. Don't worry though because we won't hang you. As for the division, yes we can do that to your 48%, which we don't need. Disenfranchising 48% of the population.

Macron wants and is active behind the scenes to obtain a divorce without agreement or minimum brino. Go to specialized French forums for confirmation in terms much less civil than mine. The nations of the south, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece... are all with him. This is why Merkel cannot impose even a fair deal While the German industrial lobbies are pushing for a transaction. After the Irish border, fishing is a perfect motive for blocking any advance and blaming the relative fishermen's loss on British intransigence. This is why Macron and his friend Barnier will not give up. So you say Macron (France) wants a no deal plus half of Europe is with him as well? I think that underestimates the influence of Germany. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
