I think that words like 'We make it hard as possible for the UK to leave the EU' (or words to that effect), are or maybe posturing by some members or spokesmen/women for countries in the EU

I did say 'Or words to that effect' Juncker:
Leave EU and we’ll make your lives a misery: Juncker’s warning to Britain http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/le...tain-7h2k90t8g ETA - there's nothing in what little I can read of the article that justifies the headline. |

Nobody in the EU has said that at all. Far from making it hard to leave, the EU keep saying hurry up and get on with it.
The delay and the uncertainty may harm the Eu.....not just the UK. If they are angry (and that anger has consequences)......that is hardly a surprise. |

Surely this is the best news we've had all month.
Thank you Europe, take that Trevgo, aurichie and all you remainers. Either there is a Brexit that involves no agreements with the EU - and no agreements with any country where the agreement is via the EU - or Brexit doesn't occur. I can't see why Brexiters are making such a pig's ear of it, it's almost as if they hadn't thought of the consequences when whining on about Brexit. |

No that's not what was meant - the poster specifically said that a general election would give them a mandate to enact Article 50 "without Parliament being involved." Obviously that poster doesn't realise that an election promising to commit contempt of court wouldn't stop the cabinet being arrested for it.

Of course it would give them a mandate, they'd include the promise of Brexit in their manifesto with a big enough majority to overcome opposition from outside their own party whilst Tory dissenters to Brexit would need to adhere to the manifesto promise.

What parties put in their manifestos still needs to go through Parliament.

Edit: There's another DP edition with McGrory on from April. Coburn gives him a little mauling (yep, Coburn gave it to him)... regarding the Government's £9 million leaflet he was defending to the hilt. |

The trouble with setting tariffs cheaper is that they are there for a reason, so we have 10% on cars to protect our own car industry from cheap imports. And lowering tariffs will only make non EU imports cheaper, some EU imports will get more expensive.

I don't think that is the case, but I'm happy to be corrected. If we choose to set the import duty on cars to say 3% then within WTO rules that tarrif applies to all imported cars from all nations. The EU will quite happily sell us cars at a tarrif of 3% but will continue to set a tarrif of 10% (or whatever it happens to be) on cars they import from the UK.

Also, Juncker could hardly say anything to the contrary. If he said "If the UK leaves the EU, it will be no problem and there will be still be a great deal on offer for them afterwards" he'd nearly be giving the British public the green light to vote for Brexit.
