What those people who want to leave now and 'get it over with' don't realise, is this is only just the beginning of Brexit....Three years of bickering to try and sort a transition deal is nothing. Compared to what's in store when the UK tries to negotiate the permanent deal. Several more years of endless Brexit wrangling, coming at us daily on TV and in the press is all we need!
STOP BREXIT!

Until the UK actually leaves the EU, the UK is not allowed to take part in Trade deals with other countries. In the meantime, while the UK delays the issue - the EU is feverishly holding talks with other counties worldwide in order to beat the UK in doing so.
"European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker rushed to hold important talks with the country's new Prime Minister in a bid to leave the UK out in the cold." Daily Express. January this year.

Japan had offered the UK a trade agreement for when it left the EU - but the EU jumped the gun and persuaded them by generous terms to agree to an agreement with them. February this year.
It can be seen how suddenly the EU has become very energetic in seeking trade talks globally since the referendum:

What is the EU afraid of if British Trading is going to be as dire as the media forecasts?
The EU has always sought trade agreements it is true - that is the reason that the EU received so many immigrants from each country that it sought to trade with - that was part of the trade. But the EU has always done so with far less energy than it is now as you can see from the EU's own trade sheets.

Japan offered the UK exactly the same terms as the trade agreement it has with the EU, but, only for the duration of the UK's transition period with the EU. If the UK was to leave the EU without a deal, the Japanese trade deal would not apply. If May's withdrawal deal is passed next week, the Japanese deal is still there. There was never a deal offered under a British leave with no deal scenario.
In its efforts to duplicate existing trade agreements other countries have with the EU, the UK has continued talks with Japan. They have not gone well. Japan is reluctant to concede the terms it's given to the EU to the, much smaller, UK. In addition to this, Japan has complained about the UK's inability to send experienced negotiators. The talks are still ongoing.

The EU/Japan trade talks began in 2013. Ratification was the result of years of negotiating.

Take a look at the date of those negotiating directives. The majority of them predate the referendum. I can only see 4 negotiation directives dated after the referendum. There are also several renegotiations of existing trade agreements.
Don't just post links without reading them!

My prediction and hope TBH is that it's all going to end. There won't be a Brexit as they can't agree on what Brexit they want.
That too will come with consequences and God knows who will be in government to try sort that out. We have done an amazing job of dividing the nation right down the middle. Irrelevant of political preference, race, gender or age. Farage and Cameron have a lot to answer too.
Split the Country down the middle?
