quote:


What is the transition period?

The United Kingdom and the European Union have negotiated a withdrawal agreement which provides the details of how the UK will exit the EU in March 2019. Part of that agreement is the transition period.

When the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 the plan is that the transition period will apply until the end of December 2020 at least. This could be extended until as late as December 2022, should both sides agree. Without a withdrawal agreement in place there will be no transition period and a so-called “no-deal” Brexit will take place. (What would a no-deal Brexit mean for Ireland? - read here).

During the transition period a kind of standstill would be in place where current trading arrangements between the EU and UK would continue. The idea is to give time for a new deal on the future relationship between the EU and UK to be worked out after the UK leaves. During the transition period the UK agrees to continue to abide by the EU’s rules and to be subject to the rulings of EU courts, but will have no say around the EU table.

So customs union is like stage one EU membership, and single market is stage two? More EU?

Yes, however, what I mean is, to be in the single market, you are also in the customs union by default? Like you can't be in the single market without also being in the customs union.

This would be an even worse deal for the ERG than what May was proposing, no? Can't wait to see how they justify it.

the customs union means the same tariffs on everything coming into/out of it from countries outside the union. The single market is tariff-free trading for the entire area

As I understand it, the customs union is an agreement on how trade items are regulated, such as what chemicals can be used in fertilizer and things like that. The customs union is what prevents the UK from being forced to take chlorinated chicken from the US etc. You can still create your own trade deals with 3rd party countries and still abide by the customs union.

The single market is the 0 tariff trade agreement in effect across the EU, where all goods can be bought and sold without any impeding import or export costs. The goods can travel quickly across borders as the quality of all goods within the EU fall under the customs union, meaning there is a guarantee that nothing is tainted by outside influence (although it doesn't stop some random slaughterhouse in Romania from chopping up horses and selling it as beef as we have seen). As part of the single market you cannot create your own trade deals. All trade deals are done by the EU commission and apply to every member country in the single market. The point of this is that the EU can negotiate a better deal with it's GDP of $billions than a smaller country could with its GDP of $millions.

I think this is correct, someone tell me if I'm wrong?

Since I never remember it well enough the customs union covers the trade aspect of the single market including no tariffs between countries in the union. THe single market covers movement of capital/services/labour

https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/facts-figures/eu-customs-union-unique-world_en

quote:

A uniform system of customs duties is being used on imports from outside the EU and there are no customs duties at the borders between the EU countries.
Duty on goods from the outside of the EU is generally paid when they first enter, but after that, there is nothing more to pay, no more checks and all goods move freely within the EU Customs Union.

The EU Customs Union is essential for the proper functioning of the single market. In practice, National customs services in all 28 EU countries work together as one to manage the day-to-day operations of the Customs Union. The European Commission proposes the EU customs legislation and monitors its implementation.

Yeah you can't be in the single market without freedom of movement so that's why Turkey is just in the customs union and not the single market. That's the best case scenario for the kind of status post Brexit Britain could have, with a more likely scenario being Watch Dogs Legion and an even more likely scenario being Brit-Cit from Judge Dredd.

We're heading to Children of Men or a full on revolution no matter what customs arrangements we end up on.

tory voters have never cared about the economy

so tbh it makes the most sense for bojo to NDB asap, call a GE on the back of "its done now so no point complaining, we can see a way forward. labour what even is their position lol?" and push hard on racism and punitive politics which is what their base actually gives a poo poo about.
you could probably get 5-10 years of bojo if they were racist enough

meanwhile the liberal press will back the libdems and cry about how the two big parties are both as bad as eachother

That's probably as far as they can go without getting sued though.

That sentiment repeated over and over and over in the press is effective, doing it as a single bombshell ad just feels weak they chose the wrong format.

Parties only matter as a vehicle for power and we then hope there's an ideology that lends a better purpose that power might be used for. There's a ton of Labour peers that just skipped the ideology and the better purpose phase, they are pure social power clout seekers. They don't see it as their party because once it stopped being an instrument of nominally non-ideological anti-redistributionism all the bits about it that mattered to them stopped too.

They don't see themselves as traitors or wrongdoers, they probably see themselves as perfectly sound folk, because they are seeing politics through a totally different, morally-lower frame than we are.

i mean it's not as though the labour left can claim that rebellious factionalism is inherently illegitimate, but there has really got to be a limit - even with the iraq war the awkward squad never resorted to this sort of nonsense, and that was a genuine horrific crime against humanity

party democracy is surely the only way to judge how legitimate or illegitimate a particular stance is and the party has consistently spoken quite clearly, especially since it was given a meaningful voice
