The UK has voted in a referendum to leave the EU. How quickly will that happen? What might happen in Scotland - which voted overwhelmingly to stay? Evan Davis spoke to Pascal Lamy, former director general of the World Trade Organisation.

Brexit voters voted to still pay to the EU, still have the same rate of immigration, still abide to EU regulations, the loss of Scotland and probably Northern Ireland... difference now is that UK won't have any elected MEPs and so have no say in any EU matters. Good choice guys!

Actually you still wouldn't have a say in EU. The laws are passed by big banks. On paper, sure it may seem like you get a say. But when you look at what and who the EU was designed by and for. You'll understand the reason for its existence. It's not for your benefit. It's for the benefit of the CIA. The CIA actually designed the EU. This is fact and you can research this. You will lose your sovereign state and become amalgamated into this super state. You will have no say because EU laws will supersede UK laws. The EU laws are passed by the US and big banks/corporations. How will we survive by our poor lonesome self? Grow a pair of balls. The UK has been a power house for a long time. Trading with the EU will have to be renegotiated. You may gain stronger support from none EU states. Look at Switzerland. They are doing extremely well and are not in the EU. Instead they opted to pass some laws to trade with the EU but remain a sovereign entity. The last point I will make, the EU will inch us closer to war with Russia. NATO forces are mainly EU and NATO is trying to be aggressive with Russia by manoeuvring closer to Russian borders. Well Russia ain't having this. You don't want a war with Russia. Nobody wins a war against Russia.

How about, for a start, behaving as adults with an ability to think and feel, instead of as demented, headless chickens? The people in Europe are still there. The desire for peaceful, fair, trade agreements is still there. The desire for cultural exchange is still there. What has been challenged by this vote is the idea of having a European State, governed by inaccessible career politicians and bureaucrats, steered by industrial and financial lobbyists acting on behalf of rich vested interests.

And so that's the reason UK just leave the UE. I completely understand you and I respect your opinion. I live in Germany and I don't see the UE in that way, it's not perfect indeed. But in my European region we believe in the European ideal of a single state. As much as in others zones of Europe. I totally respect the decision in UK, and thanks a lot to have put your country a side without the UK I believe a single UE/Federal state would be much easy to build. wiedersehen from deutschland

As he said, because the UK is leaving the EU, the UK will have to renegotiate 30-40 bilateral free trade agreements with other countries that the UK has access to through their EU membership. This is in addition to any trade agreements the UK wants with the EU. The UK will want to trade with the EU, this is about trade and economics, not peoples feelings towards the EU, If anything Boris made it quite clear today that he wants to increase EU cooperation. Make no mistake, this will take a while to accomplish and the results may not be any more beneficial than the trade agreements the UK currently has.

Well this is all bullshit what this guy said , Sure Britain can go on and do better than any other countries in the EU, including the big ones maybe not Germany, But all the rest and all the rest including Germany will need Britain market . The only thing that will hurt Britain, in or out, is the Euro countries, they will not allow London have a major on their currency , sooner or later they will makes their move , everyone who have a decent mind will see this will happen . Immigration is least problem and will become the least problem . Watch what the EU will do IN or OUT . Cause IN you may have a say, but can't win , because they say democracy, The majority win and the Euro countries are the majority . Cameron give people a referendum to keep his ass of the fire, that he knows will come from the EU win or loose , Win then he have to deal with it, knowing their is no way out , loose and some one else have to deal with it and they don't know where they are going or what they are to face . But to my understanding their way , sure they may have a say and a way out , Is like saying live and let live . We always survive and everyone in this land should know it .

I am surprised the European Union doesn't require Ministers to their Parliament to take an oath of office pledging loyalty to the standards and goals of the Union. It seems arrogant for Brexiters to declare war on the European Union, to threaten to dismantle it as part of their ministerial duties, to effectively destroy it if they are allowed to be seated and then to be elected on that basis - to threaten to demolish the very organization that is paying them to help them do a good and fair job. If the people of the UK wanted to make the EU feel violently threatened, then voting for Nigel Farage was the perfect way to do it.... It will be very difficult for any Remainers to suppress their anger and feelings of betrayal if and when the Brexit Ministers are seated and start getting their $100,000.00 Euros a year salary which comes out of the pockets of the Remainers.

Unfortunately nobody on the Brexshite side chose to listen to this man but ignored everything he said. And the Brexshites continued in their lies and fantasies, particularly Andea Ledsom who has no clue what she's talking about, as Nadine Dorries, Boris, David D, SIR John Redwood, John Fox and so on, and on, and on. The only realistic solution is NO Brexshit. And that is easily achieved. Have a look at this clip which shows an earlier interview with the brilliant Andrea Leadsom who's smug smile started to wilt when she realised what Pascal was saying yet refusing to change her stance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJx8ibGhy6u3aJ8.html The smug smile was held in place by the make-up and James O'Brien baled her out by cutting the interview short on time.

We will have tariff free access to the single market ( not membership) We will have control of our borders. ( points based immigration). We will not be paying for a membership at all. I do not believe it is in the spirit of our past relations that we would charge EU countries for access to our market. Remember the EU is now the SECOND largest market in the world and now has to compete with 6 billion people for our money ,because we are not confined to the tiny market of 508 million people. The EU is in decline and across the continent there are 40 referendums of different types planned for the coming year. The EU have just lost a major contributor and are not in a position to tell us anything. I wish the BBC would have some sensible people talking about trade deals. Listening to this shit is painful and frankly humiliating.

hell of a lot of ifs, buts, maybe if , ect on the basis do we even need the european trade if it keep collapsing, and obviously its a trade deal but that does not mean we have to accept movement of people as the EU directs it , we could have free movement for busniess but a points system for living in uk / long term visting but that means you are not allowed to work more than x amount of hours per week , well its a idea as all trade deals can be written in such a way to benefits both sides and it does not need to copy a previous deal like the ones the EU keeps suggesting as required when it is clearly the EU's recommended deal and under cetain deals they required movement of people which means the movement of people if not the deal itself .
@Evoletization
@Evoletization 8 жыл бұрын
You may have a trade deal which does not involve free movement of people, but then the trade deal wouldn't be as good. The UK is a small country on its own, and its bargaining power reflects it, why would anyone think that it is not fair for the EU to act in their own interests is beyond me. In fact, it goes to show how people should not vote on matters that are way beyond their knowledge and ability. No country can be part of the single market without free movement of people. Moreover, the UK is possibly the least likely to get such deal, because it would give the message that the EU is prone to concede better deals to those countries which threaten to live.

We're not Switzerland, we're not norway. There's a question of scale here. The EU will not be able to boss us around like it thinks it can. A tariff regime will hurt the EU more. But even bigger than that, we won't be collecting external EU tariffs for the EU anymore. That will be a massive financial hit for the EU that dwarfs their loss of our contributions. That's why they're issuing all these silly threats ahead of negotiations. It's their only card. It won't work. We won't be in the EEA. Brexit means brexit. Complete divorce from the EU and its institutions. It's not the EU we trade with, it's customers and businesses.

Nigel Farage is in as much denial as Roy Hogdson was before the game against Iceland. In effect England stands absolutely no chance in the battle of Europe. It's got nothing to offer in terms of negotiating. Production is almost nil and Britain is mainly running on the success of an inflated property market and a flamboyant financial square mile.
