America tells us what to do, and we do it

If America wants us to stay in the EU, which it does, then we'll stay in the EU

so we're staying in the EU, mark my words, screenshot this post if you want....but I absolutely guarantee 100% that we'll vote to stay

Most likely, though I think voter turn out could hamper the Remain group

Something just occurred to me: the timing of the referendum will put it in the very last week of the year. Many students will have gone home - will they be registered in the right place even if they are registered?

Oh snap.

Anyway, im pretty sure all students these days will vote leave if they ever read this:

"Just copying one CD or DVD for personal use can make you a criminal under EU directive.

The EUCD, or Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003, amends the Copyright Designs and Patents Act of 1988 and is the EU's attempt to update copyright protection to the digital age and combat software piracy.

Indivuals who make a copy of a copyrighted DVD, CD or music file, whether for back-up or for use on another device such as an MP3 player, are committing a crime."

a US president who wont be in office very much longer. a point the media's missing out on.

Yet he is still privy to the internal workings of US politics and trade. Doesn't matter if he is leaving at the end of the year.

He isn't saying he would push a UK trade deal to the bottom of the pile, just pointing out that is where it would go, unless of course the next president or house decided to push it up.

so again telling us what will happen once he's out of office. that the us will suddenly have issue with trading with the 5th largest gdp in the world ? suuuuuuure.

It's ridiculous, there's no queue for trade deals. The United States is capable of doing more than one thing at a time

You guys obviously have a better understanding of the internal workings of US trade and politics than the current president. Cool...

In other news... This is unfortunately just the same as the Scottish independence debate. The Out side proclaiming one things, then insisting the people that are actually in charge and in the know (and fairly independent) are talking rubbish/lying when the speeches leave huge holes in the outers argument.

Choice between believing ransomers on the internet or the president of xyz about something related to what they preside over. I'll go with the latter thank you.:D

That said, years ago I would have been a brexiter, then I grew up (literally - I was about 15 at the time) and decided the EU was a good thing, especially in reducing the power of rampant controlling mentalist politicians we seen to have had over the last decade or more.

EDIT: Just wondering about other trade agreements for similar sized countries. Australia is probably a good example. That took 5 years to negotiate. Does that provide Australia the same terms as the EU currently get with the US and how much did Australia have to give away in the negotiations? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia–United_States_Free_Trade_Agreement

I didn't reply because your post went off topic. I didn't claim the deal was great, I pointed out the existance of the deal shows Britain's influence. My other point was that Britain mainly sells services and developing countries such as China or India are not good clients for services. Developed ones, such as most of the EU, are.

Cameron's deal does not mean we have "influence". It shows they realise we might leave. We only have the weak, watered down, non-legally binding deal because we are on the verge of leaving, unlike any other country.

Yes we do sell mainly services, 30% of which go to the USA and an increasing amount that goes to Switzerland, China, Japan, Australia, Canada. None of which are in the EU, which is going backwards economically. Yes we do services trade with France and Germany but this is likely to fall given the state of the Eurozone, and places that are growing fastest (list here) will demand more. Not a single EU country in the top 29 fastest growing economies globally. And we can't do deals with any of them that are in our best interest.

We should have held out for more considering Brexit will likely be the beginning of the end of the EU, and a remain vote will be seen as an endorsement of EU creep.

To an extent. Countries very close to the recognised Europe borders may be eligible, but I cant see the likes of Oz or Japan ever being invited.

They are not invited they must apply to join. Australia, Canada, Israel and many other countries have talked about joining but did not.
