Simple Question

If Donal Trump had done the negotiation for Britain leaving would we have got a better deal ?

[Old_Geezer]

Well, IMO he wouldn't have offered an obviously unsatisfactory deal. Trouble is, he might have tried to sue 'em. I think we'd probably have seen less awkwardness from the EU as he wouldn't have been seen as an easily manipulated "negotiator" that one could just refuse any reasonable offer from (assuming they got offered one) and expect him to collapse.

Jim, //I'm simply stating that "our obligations" are far more complicated (and lengthy) than you are giving them credit for….. I suppose you're in the fortunate position of stating the purest of pure hypothetical (ie, utterly untestable) claims. //

I haven’t mentioned the complexity of our obligations – and I’ve made no claims, testable or otherwise. I've simply said that in my opinion Trump would respect the result of the referendum and deliver Brexit. Your imagination is running amok again.

Whose imagination is running wilder when you're busy expecting Trump to respect international law against all the evidence from his presidency so far?

Haha! And he's off! How did I guess?!!
