I saw someone post this last week. The Australians make it seem so simple

What a load of nonsense. That's so simplistic and just another pipe dream.
I laugh every week when I watch things like Question Time and see idiots sitting in the audience saying nonsense like "They need use more than we need them, they have German cars to sell to us."
"She should tell then take it or leave it and the EU will come running"
No they bloody well won't.
Newsflash, they don't need us more than we need them.
**It is true that the EU sells more to the UK (£341 Billion a year) than the UK does to the EU (£274 Billion a year) but that burden would be split between 27 different countries.
If all trade between the 2 stopped tomorrow that's a £274 Billion hit to UK exports, but only £12.6 Billion each between the 27.
I know the EU funding/trade isn't equally split like that but it shows we need them more than they need us.
The EU cannot afford to give a country who is leaving, without taking the 4 freedoms they keep banging on about, the same terms and unrestricted access as they get now.
If they did that everyone would leave.
I'm no fan of the EU, in the slightest. It's 1 of the most undemocratic institutions there is.
The country was sold a whopper by a bunch of muppets though.
Easiest trade deal in history, exact same benefits with none of the commitments.
Uh huh, and I'm gonna start shitting golden eggs in the morning.
not a fan of politics on forums, they descent in to rants like mine above.
Both sides of the debate have been equally let down by their politicians.
I love the video in the OP, sums up Theresa May perfectly.
