Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

[SANTAN]

He has a point. It's a well known fact countries are only allowed trade deals with 1 other country maximum. We've fucked it.

I thought this Australia deal was just the precursor for the UK to join the Trans Pacific trade pact which will be massive.

Agree with your sentiment, the population of Australia is ca. 26 million though.

The reference to 60 million was in regard to the uk's population.

[SandyCromarty]

Canzuk is only a proposal not a reality. 

There is no formal agreement, just a Brexiteers pipe dream which Australia has already shattered by prioritising trade with the EU instead of the uk.

Dream on Fools.

It is not 'massive' with a  total population of 127 million, 100 million if you now take Australia out of it, and the EU has over four times that population within it's 27 Countries.

The EU the largest trading Bloc in the world, bigger than anything the unionists and brexiteers can ever dream up, is the way forward for an Independent Scotland.

Fair dos, realise I misinterpreted that bit. UK population is 68 and not 60 million.

And Canada has provisionally applied for a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.

Much like Australia having trade deals with the EU that wouldn't impact our trade deals with either nation. They have nothing to do with each other but then again you constantly misrepresent facts to suit your narrow minded delusional mindset.

How will an independent Scotland in the EU trade with its biggest and most important customer, the Uk ?

[Bairnardo]

How will an independent Scotland in the EU trade with its biggest and most important customer, the Uk ?

On the same terms as the UK and the EU, obviously?

^^^^

Things are shite, but they would be much worse in an independent Scotland type post.

[John Lambies Doos]

In a reciprocal manner to that which the UK trades with its biggest and most important customer, the EU.

Through the free EU UK trade deal which you brexiteers always harp on about.

[doulikefish]

Remember lads...

Ruk trade would flow freely into an indy Scotland but an indy Scotland's would have to stop In yoon minds

great query and an effective solution is admittedly beyond the wit of man*

*if that man was a isolationist fuckwit such as Johnson, Gove, Davis etc

I think you can still buy Guinness in England which comes from a country that left the UK and is in the EU.

You may even be able to buy Irish butter.

On exactly the same terms as the rest of the EU. It would be illegal for the rUK to discriminate in the way you appear to suggest.

Is that not obvious, even to you?  By being a member of a trading bloc, you get all the advantages of membership.

However, we can all celebrate together, whatever happens! We will at least we will be able to buy champagne at a reasonable price from our EU partners.

Do you really prefer English Sparkling Wine?

Was on a fairly tranquil touristy river cruise in narrowly brexitish Chester today and saw one of the riverside cabins (which go for stupid money) flying a St Andrews cross with a circle of stars on it. It was beautiful.

You are aware that the westminster tory government, ironically having railed against the EU and wanted no part of it, have applied for a free Trade Agreement with the EU, it is a fuckin joke considering the mess we find ourselves in due to Brexit and now the tories want a piece of the pie, shocking.

Right, it is true that Scotland would want to continue trading with the uk afetr Independence and our EU membership, no doubt you are jumping on the Andrew Marr's bandwagon of the hard border which the EU would impose, this obviously would present a problem which if we would want to continue trading with the UK would have to overcome.

Again though you make the mistake of all unionists of thinking that the remaining uk will be a major trading player and the be all and end all of all things, there are far bigger trading blocs for us to pursue.

Since Brexit trade between Ireland and the uk has decreased significantly as in preparation for Brexit the Irish have since 2016 increased their beef and cheese trade with the EU away from the uk.
