Bartosz T. Wieliński: British Prime Minister Theresa may promised “tough Brexit. What now?
Rafael Trzaskowski In the UK won the most radical option. Very concerned that British politicians didn’t even try to be in the European single market. This, however, would entail the payment of insurance contributions to the EU budget, maintaining the free movement of people. But the proponents of the divorce with the EU were established on the Prime May very much pressure. However, it is difficult to understand why, in the end, won the idea that Britain had such a relationship with the EU, like Canada. The interest of the country demanded a more ambitious approach.
the Prime Minister May say that after Brexicie the UK will become a global power.
Is the anachronisms is a word of longing for the days of the Empire. The UK is not so much important country and has such a potential to play the role of the world. Is just too small. The British will know about it if London ceases to be a financial center. Because if they want to go with a single market and cooperation with the EU based on free trade agreement, is quickly convinced that the capital will begin from the Islands to escape. The UK could play a significant role only as a member of the EU or, as you are greatly related with the European.
Maybe, the word may should be considered only as an introduction negotiations, like bargaining rates?
– That would be foolish. Not so sharp sends the message that the country set itself the goal of negotiating a free trade agreement, and then discusses participation in the open market. You can make it clear that it is considering various scenarios, negotiators can play serious. But if you go the Prime Minister and puts the matter as is clear from this then abandoned. In this situation, no one in the EU could not apply to London seriously, may have to face zawiedzionymi expectations of followers Brexitu and, in the end, this change of position will also weaken those who want the UK to stay close to EU, and even to make concessions. This strategy has strengthened those who want London to speak firmly.
Brexit it will be a quick process?
No, it will take years. One question, for exit from the EU, negotiations on this issue will be very heavy, and something else, will talk on new trade agreements. Let’s see how hard it was to conclude an agreement with Canada, how many are continuing negotiations on the agreement with the United States. Agreement with the UK may not be. Although I hope that the EU will approach the matter pragmatically and relationship with London, will be able to organize.
View: you Will drive Brexit. Theresa may revealed details
waiting for the Poles on the Islands?
– Can be calm. Violation of the rights of immigrants who are already settled in the Islands, it will mean war with the EU. The Union, in retaliation, would have acquired the same attitude to the British in Europe. For London that would be suicide. However, even the UKIP [the Independence Party of the United Kingdom] did not want to kick people out of the country demanded a halt to new immigration.
So I think that the rights of the Poles are protected, although we can not exclude the reform of social benefits. Russia will in this matter firmly to speak to London.
Scotland declares independence ?
– This is possible because you can hear how there is a loud demand that in relation to Brexitu to repeat the referendum for independence. Added to this is the many practical questions, for example, to control the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Fatal is that London has succumbed to the most extreme elements in the Conservative Party that the strategy was abandoned in favor of thinking about the special political purposes. UK will lose, and soon he will see how it is to live in a vacuum. What’s more Brexit strengthens in Europe, those who want the UK to give a lesson. Particularly important here is the voice of countries that also have problems with their populistami and want to show them that leaving the EU is very expensive.
