Can you blame them?
Business is business. If it’s ok for Germany to build their cars in Turkey, then why shouldn’t UK trade with Turkey?
Russia might be a stretch though. However, they will become a significant trade partner over time.
Well no... they made their choices and now they've got to make it work or face the wrath of the people.
Of course they have to make it work. And they will make it work.
There is so much opportunity that awaits them as well which they were not at Liberty to explore.
You lived in Perth. Do you know what’s going on over there? The place is a literal Dubai in mining, exploration, Oil and Gas. Billions worth of investment every year. Some of the world’s biggest companies are based there - Chevron Mobil, RIO Tinto, BHP, SANTOS, Woodside etc. You wouldn’t recognise the place as for the last 15 years a new high rise is built every month.
The markets over here in the Asia Pacific are second to none.
Everyone is caught up or thinking disaster awaits the UK around the corner as if their entire economy hinges on the EU. It doesn’t. Even a small downturn of a few percent initially is tolerable. There are bound to be hiccups along the way.
Look at the Cyprus economy before it joined the EU. Did Cyprus’ viability hinge on the EU? It didn’t appear to be the case as Cyprus I seem to recal was a little pocket rocket dynamo. Small economy and yet a sound one.
It’s not as if the UK has to rely on the EU for resources.
The fact of the matter is this! EU relies heavily on the Gulf States and Australia for energy and resources. That won’t change anytime soon. The German Car manufacturing industry can be wiped out overnight without Australian steel and materials. So the EU isn’t as in control of matters as you seem to think.
