Yes, watch the vid.
Are you suggesting that Minford would mislead the commons select committee?
Ok first off, relationship with EU will change. His assumption about remaining friendly with our allies is far too ambitious. We will be going from partnership to competitive footing.
Political interests clearly not the same. How so? One area is whether EU should expand or not? Should it bring in Balkan countries or even Russia into EU or not? Are you aware there was some talk of expanding EU borders into Russia some while back.
If he doesn't see many implications of leaving on foreign policy then he is in the minority.
UK was excluded from Galileo Project... That article is in your daily trash so hopefully you can read it at your level.
He rattles on about defining what kind of relationship UK wants with EU. This isn't one way negotiation now is it? How can you leave a club and then rebuild same alliances, common interests or policies???
Do you actually understand what his saying.
His talkign about 80% of laws decided in EU around 4:00... I ask you again, why are all past EU laws being cut and pasted into UK books? Is it because 93% of all those rules/regs/laws were voted and wanted by UK? Think about it.
He continues to talk whaffle about foreign policy and common policies with our allies.
With respect to trade agreements, he compares UK to China, Singapore and US. Says trade agreements are irrellevant. FFS this mumbo jumbo of a fool can say anything he likes he is clearly out of his mind.
Why do we have preferred suppliers? I'm sure many of you here must have worked in companies with preferred suppliers. They get reviewed and can be replaced.
It's to do with discounting and preferential treatment. Why tie one self down to a preferred supplier or trade agreement or even a 3-25 year lease which is in it self is a trade agreement. To get more preferential deals.
To say it is irrellevant and dismiss it is just frankly fecking moronic idiocy. No you don't have to have a preferred supplier and can buy any of your products from any supplier but it makes sense to have them. Now just expand that to a larger scale.
He throws in a global market as if that has any validity. He says we have a competitive economy and a nation of entrepreneurs. Well what's that got to do with validity other than being just power words. Does this guy have any reason or intellecutal capability to rationalise what his saying?
His right about EU being protectionist which gives us many advantages. Which are the same advantages held by China and US.
I don't wish to listen to the rest of his tripe. He has a strong views which aren't supported by fact or reason.
11:00 onwards is interesting. Vested interests indeed but is unable to answer why we would need to sign bilateral trade agreements outside of EU having argued to death why it is irrellevant to have one with EU.
Stupidity has no bounds.
