The Leave Alliance view of WTO

[meridian]

No Deal without doubt would be the most democratic outcome of the Brexit Referendum. That's what the majority voted for. BRINO, Norway etc are all about remaining to a degree aligned with the EU. The level of benefits to EU trading directly relate to the level of constraint and control. I don't believe any Brexiteers voted for continuing interference from the EU.

The Democratic process is rejecting No Deal because it is stupid not because it wasn't the will of the people.

Only if we’re defining “Deal” as the future relationship.

Regardless of what the U.K. wants its future relationship with the EU to be (and that can range from EFTA through Canada to no relationship whatsoever), there still should be some form of Withdrawal Agreement with the EU. That is laid out in Article 50 s2:

A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union.

Oddly, there doesn’t appear to be anything in Article 50 that lays out what to do if the leaving Member State refuses to conclude the withdrawal negotiations....

However, I would argue that although I agree with you that the future relationship was not part of the referendum, by the nature of the legal process to leave the EU nobody voted for the U.K. to leave without a Withdrawal Agreement.

Is that what he told you? That's him on the right.

Behind the counter, obviously.
