I would love to negotiate our agreement - it would be done and over in a couple of hours.
Certainly could be but about equally possible if the EU collapsing altogether.Perhaps they think they have not lost for good. Giving time and seeing the many problems raised Brexit might be more trouble than it is worth.
If you delay long enough it might never happen.
Time will tell. Members already didn't like Merkel acting like she us in charge and with this "refegee" mess it's gone off the scale as none of them want to afford it since it makes it impossible to buy votes.I do not think there is much chance of EU collapsing. They are getting new members every year. They will miss UK but will survive.
If Turkey joins, that's the last nail in the EU coffin. Turkey would bankrupt the EU - I'm glad the UK is leaving (eventually).Yes, but they need money to survive and they miss the UK contribution without a doubt. Then as most migrants won't have the choice to come to the UK to work, they will find another country, and other countries are wary of this.
The new countries joining? What do you mean? Turkey? That will suck more from the coffers, and Balkan states of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania wish to join, but how much money will they contribute and what are the chances the citizens will flock to a western country to work as soon as they can?
And if there is a crowd of countries doing it then it WILL get done quickly.Leaving the EU was never going to happen overnight, but the fact that the UK government as hardly even mentioned the vote to leave in the last few weeks makes people think they are trying to brush it under the carpet but we all know that will never happen.
In fact there IS more chance of the EU collapsing before we get chance to leave and maybe that is the reason we are hanging on. If that does happen then I think a lot of countries will be trying to stay on the good side of the UK, and the countries that have said they don't see the UK as an important country might soon well be changing their tunes a bit.
If Turkey joins, that's the last nail in the EU coffin. Turkey would bankrupt the EU - I'm glad the UK is leaving (eventually).
Also I hope the EU collapses - it'll display what a mockery it is anyway.
