This was and is a major stumbling block in the current exit talks. I can see no way the UK will get access to the Eu free market unless it accepts and abides by all labour standards, safety regs, and free movement of workers.Free movement is a separate issue, but we all implicitly recognise that to have standards in the market on things like employment conditions or safety or product quality, your neighbours must have those standards too, otherwise they will undercut you.
Strange how all the remainers seem happy to apply double standards regarding East Euro undercutting of western Euro wage rates with the import of EE labour and export of jobs in the form of transfer of industry.While transfer of UK industry to Germany and resulting trade deficit suggests that it’s not just a question of race to the bottom under cutting but also the EU being about doing what’s good for Germany.
Make no mistake the remainers arguments have nothing to do with fears of the UK supposedly under cutting anyone else and everything to do with a liking for us being ruled over by Socialist Soviet stooges like Merkel and selling out the interests of this country on a national self loathing agenda.
