"One can say, unequivocally, that the UK could not survive as a trading nation by relying on the WTO Option. It would be an unmitigated disaster, and no responsible government should allow it."
This was first released on the leavehq(dot)com website way back in 2016 and they have updated their analysis this month to say...
"Though there is no majority in the country for a no deal Brexit, leaving without a deal seems to be the one thing the leave camp can agree on. The propaganda is etched in and they will learn the hard way why we cannot trade normally on WTO terms.
Here there is a strong tribal dynamic. With a subject as complex as Brexit, much of what is believed is taken on trust from those who are considered kosher sources. That trust has been abused. The Brexit blob has its own cabal of wise men who wilfully misrepresent the issues. They dream up all manner of nostrums to get them over the line, from claiming the WTO agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade overcomes EU third country controls, through to the absurd suggestion that GATT Article 24 can be invoked to ensure the continuity of tariff free trade.
Though this dynamic is unhealthy for any democracy, it's worth asking how we got here. The rank and file Brexiters may believe anything served up to them by the Brexit blob, but more crucially, they simply do not believe anything said by anyone else."
Perhaps The Leave Alliance are not Brexity enough to be real Brexiters? |
