A no deal exit would be so deeply, immediately disastrous that I'd almost say there's no chance it would be allowed to happen, but then I could definitely see this government stumbling into it.

So if you leave the EU with no deal there would be a massive panic buy of food from like, the US and Japan or whoever as store shelves empty and you can't get any more from the continent.

It would revert to WTO rules, meaning immediate price hikes: "According to a group of University of Cambridge economists, under a "hard Brexit" whereby the UK reverts to WTO rules, one-third of UK exports to the EU would be tariff-free, one-quarter would face high trade barriers and other exports risk tariffs in the range of 1-10%." Presumably this can be offset by further removing the ridges in Toblerones, turning them into flat candy bars, and other similar tricks. The real problem will be with customs enforcement. They're not just going to stop importing for, but everything going into and out of the UK will have to be examined by customs agents one side of the border or another. There are currently tons of EU-wide regulations for that stuff, and after Brexit the EU will still have those rules, and the UK will still have some set of rules maybe? Very long lines for customs inspections will slow down the entire supply chain. I once was in the UK and went to a market right before flying back to Europe, and had a giant chunk of venison and a bunch of vegetables that I took with me as carry-on and made into a Sunday roast immediately after getting home. That probably won't be possible anymore, I imagine.

twoday posted:Wasn't the proposed referendum just to approve or disapprove of the plan that is negotiated up to that point? And if it is rejected, it defaults to no deal hard brexit? As far as I'm aware there's no second referendum currently proposed. We're actually talking about this in the UKMT in D&D at the moment. One of the bigger reasons the last referendum was so moronic was that it was literally 'Leave EU Y/N', completely glossing over the complications and impossibilites of actually doing so. If there were a second one - and this might be a preferable way out of the current bind - the current thread consensus is that it should be a choice between remain, customs union (and maybe single market), or no deal (to act as a spoiler for the remaining olds who are still desperate to kill us all)

Time to make the Irish driving test in the Irish language just to gently caress with the DUP, since everyone'll need two licenses. Of course, as recompense, Stormont might make the UK driving test in ulster scots, or as we'd say in English, "Of course, as recompense, Stormont might make the UK driving test in ulster scots".
