I have a plan: leave! Is that not nuanced enough? What would happen if they just declared they were no longer in the EU?

Technically the UK already did that. Effective in March. Now they want to leave with a deal, but it’s not working out for them.

I said that yesterday. That’s the Trumpian plan. Just up and leave, the phones in Westminster will light up soon enough when Brussels wants to negotiate.

If they announced they were no longer in the EU it would be similar, but less damaging as if California announced it was no longer in the United States.

Instantly all business that have supply chains criss-crossing western europe will pull business out of the UK. All financial services will move to subsidiaries in Europe. Crashing out without any agreements in place would knock off 10% of their GDP. And no, the US, Canada etc. aren't going to rush to give the UK sweet deals. They'll make hard deals
