The UK was the main enthusiasm for TTIP within the EU!!!
It's honestly breathtaking how little people bothered to try and understand before making a decision.
But the EU economy is on a kife edge as much as ours why on earth would they jepodise it ?
I swear people think politics and industry is ran by 5 year olds with grudges.
Trade talks will be about achiving a wuick sensible result with kinimal disruption.
Not petty childishness

Despite Obama's "back of the list" chat, I think a good deal with USA and the Commonwealth could be very interesting.

Didnt we already trade with half the world anyway? What exactly did the EU stop us doing? Confused.

When tax is involved yes.
t's illegal to eat your pet horse
In 2009 the EU introduced a law which suggested it was illegal to eat "pet" horses after staggering figures revealed that around two million pet horses are eaten across the EU each year.
Of course some British supermarkets considered themselves well above this law in 2012. The horse meat scandal hit Britain when equine DNA was discovered in value Tesco and Iceland beef burgers. Lidl and Aldi were also rocked by the scandal.
Just remember it's okay to be so hungry you could eat a horse - as long as you don't own it.

Yes, I worry our muppet will work their own deal, to benefit themselves and their friends in large corps as the expense of the taxpayer getting to fund court cases ad infinitum against American corps.
Not even related to the NHS, but to anything else.
No trade agreement should ever allow a government to be sued if decisions the government makes hurt foreign companies profits.
A collective that takes a decade to get a single trade deal finalised.
it is already starting when it comes to getting things arranged.

TTIP was already dead. The UK was one of its biggest supporters though so we could see something very similar in any trade deal we negotiate with the US.

I think it'll resemble TTIP in all but name. Especially if the Tories win the next GE.

I'm confident in future trade agreements with the Commonwealth et al. We are now unshackled from mediocrity. Our exports to Europe have been declining for years.
According to the European Commission, over the next ten to 15 years, 90% of world demand will be generated outside Europe. I think we're going to do just fine
Sure, but what makes you think you're now in a better position to fulfil that demand compared to the unified European market? Especially considering that 10 years is pretty much what it will take to even have negotiated new treaties (never mind an actual recovery). E.g. http://shanghaiist.com/2016/06/24/china_brexit_response.php
Bad news for people that vote only for leaders and not idealogy and political systems.
Sad that'sostrich people and the popularity contest
PR is needed now
Ostrich people lollol

It's not petty childishness. Encouraging Europe wide referendums by giving us what we want (ie all the trade bits that suit us but nothing else that other EEA countries have) will jeopardise things for the EU far more than dishing out a bad deal to us will.

Just spoke to lots of people with many PhDs - they back me up.
What makes you think the UK will see a speedier process? Or do you think trade treaties are done overnight?

Why is everything you post in response to me just swear words? I'd like to have a rational debate about this but you seem unwilling to debate with me on anything I raise.
I respect the Leave campaign absolutely and there are reasons for leaving but you're unfortunately representing the view I proposed, that a lot of leave voters have voted on the basis of being angry and not on the basis of facts or rational opinion. And that makes me very sad.
We fished our waters for centuries without issue. The problems started with the massive industrial-scale trawler fleets of particularly Denmark. The British fishing fleet has always consisted of smaller boats.
This will be the average Remain protester, don't think you'll have much to worry about..
