A gentle reminder

As time ticks away, the UK is no nearer knowing what Brexit is.

Because the WA is not Brexit. It is maybe 5% of what Brexit is.

The WA allows for things to stay the same into a Transistion Period, TA< when nothing will really change, trade, travel and so on will continue as before. Except for one important detail, the UK will effectively be part of the EU. The exception is that it will abide by all decisions of the EU relating to rules, standards and so on, but will not be a party in their decision making.

A rule taker.

Yes, JRM, we know what you think.

The WA is important, as through the backstop, it defines what relationship the UK or Britain will have with the EU, which kinda sets out the relationship.

But Brexiteers will not honour this, as they are not people of honour, their word is not their bond. They will renege on this as soon as it is signed, and legally the UK has left the EU and begin to fight these battles again.

Which is why it is even more important, and as the official Vote Leave campaign said would happen, the relationship would be agreed first.

Otherwise the cliff edge is just delayed until the end of 2020, and there would be no escape.
