And uh.....isn't the European Union a single market and customs union at its core? Like, how could anyone expect to leave the EU without leaving those things? 1) Nobody thought he would win. 2) No it isn't! It's a political union. There are countries in the single market and/or customs union but not the EU. Norway most famously. You wouldn't say Norway are in the EU. You can absolutely leave the EU without leaving those which was the official view of the leave campaign during the referendum. "Nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market", etc. You love commenting on brexit, but you don't even seem to understand what the EU is. Or how the UK works. You should stop. Are you claiming that people really expected to get a Norway-type deal? The EU has never said that was an available option. As for the leave campaign making big promises they couldn't keep, really, someone who bought those promises is in the same position as someone who really believed Mexico was going to pay for the wall. But we must presume that the voters are intelligent, and therefore must presume that they did not make their decision based on believing lies. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:925107978] in Politics C...
