Well this might well be our only option if we dont get a deal as we have to survive .
Juncker' knows this, hence all his outspoken rhetoric , he they know there is an election and it does seem strange these outburst of language are being heard now , they must know election soundbite is ceased upon , so yes covertly they are trying to influence our election , by means of these unwelcome statements .
Imports/exports are broadly similar but GDP is not. Exports account for 10% or so of our GDP. Imports account for less than 2% of the EUs GDP.
I think it is incredibly rich you saying that when you appear to have taken a such polarised view yourself, noting that your stance appears to be very much anti-May, so have you gobbled up all that the EU have been saying or are you just letting your political leanings cloud your judgement here? For your information I have gobbled up nothing, I am just trying to put a balanced view across which some may disagree with but that's life. As I said I voted remain but that doesn't mean that I blindly support everything that the EU has done & this weeks unfortunate exchanges are a good example of how some of the less scrupulous members of the EU operate.
The Tory dumbing down continues with prospective candidates told to refer to themselves as Theresa May's local candidate. No mention that they are Tories.

This sums up the campaign quite well
Not into gobbling, just very sceptical from the beginning that this government has any clue what they are doing with Brexit. May has spent the last few months telling everyone that we need to be discrete and professional and then after one meeting she hauls the press to Downing Street so they can watch her throw her toys out of the pram.
I haven't supported anything the EU does/doesn't do or has said. I wan't our Prime Minister to look as though she isn't losing her shit because what her and the rest of the government do over Brexit is actually quite important.
Wow. Hang on sunshine. My best mates voted Tory and UKIP. We have fierce arguments but I do not chose friends based on their politics. At a guess I have more friends who vote Tory than any other party. You do not know me so don't make such generalised comments about someone who is a total stranger to you.
As for Tory politicians there are some decent ones out there. Ken Clark,Anna Soubry and even David Davis are people I have respect for. May is awful.
I thought she was ok as Home Secretary as it happens and was brave when she stood in front of the Police Federation making clear there would be cuts. As PM she has been dire relying on meaningless soundbites,wanting to bring back grammar schools and hiding during the EU campaign and now during the election campaign. If that impresses you fill yer boots.
As with Labour the Tories are really short of talent. A younger Ken Clark would be fine but he was never going to be Tory leader because of his pro European views.Of the current crop I am struggling. Davis has some authority but lost out to Cameron in 2005. Beyond them Hammond is just about passable. I have no time for the right wing Brexiteers.
If Clark had become leader I may even have thought the unthinkable and voted Tory. He did a damn good job as Chancellor and didn't get the credit for it.
Don't forget now, not Feedback's not a tory.
Going to the original point of this thread - the tory policy this week appears to be to bleat on about those Johnny Foreigner types who are not playing by the rules in the lead up to the Brexit negotiations, don't they know our strong, stable leader has promised everyone a red, white and blue Brexit?
[QUOTE=ninianclark;4739062]You'd want a young Ken Clark to be leader of the conservatives and in charge of Brexit talks - :hehe: that
Well done. Er yes I would because he wouldn't be pandering to the lowest denominator unlike May. I suspect his approach would bring about a more cordial approach in negotiations but thats lost on you.
So far on this Tory campaign we have had slogans, we have had May refusing to speak to any potential neutral or opposition voter and May attacking our EU neighbors before she (likely result) goes to negotiate with them.
Sorry, I forgot that they also re-issued an Ed Milliband proposed policy. A policy which was heavily criticised when he suggested it but now seems quite alright really.
