What rEU don't understand. We have a choice.

How many times have we heard the ill-informed comment saying we won’t be able to trade with the rEU (remainder EU) after we have left.

Staying is not a democratic option, we took that vote last year.   

All that is left is to ask, do we want to do a deal with the rEU or don’t we.  WTO is one of the options we have, which is fine for us in the UK because 60% of the UKs export trade already uses WTO with no problem.  And if there is no deal with rEU we will just deal with the rEU on these terms.  We will still trade with rEU and the rEU will still trade with us, on WTO terms.   

When you think about it, WTO is the easiest option.  We know the rules.  We use WTO all the time in the UK.  Or do we do a deal with the rEU who will constantly try to make life difficult for us?    

Theresa May is right, WTO is better than a bad rEU deal.  Much better.
