What is this “EU vat tax” you wish to abolish?
Now explain please what you think we should and shouldn’t import from the EU? And on what terms?
Please though, none of the Unicorn nonsense of “on our terms”!
The false promises of the leave campaign have been exposed for what they were.
The EU hasn’t exactly rushed to sign deals “on our terms” have they? So don’t insult our intelligence by repeating nonsense.
WTO rules are still RULES. They are not a free for all. So how would our UK farmers fare against the hormone fed US beef? How would our more humane poultry industry do against the high intensity US model?
How will our fruit farmers do against the South Americans?
So if we agree that the UK will need to import components from abroad?
How I’ll it benefit us leave a big single market, right next door, with zero customs taxes, in order to commence trading with other countries, further away, with customs duties and transport costs and times to consider?
Edit to add. Our car plants are largely foreign owned. In the long term they aren’t about to source different suppliers in order to keep out plants open are they? They are profit making organisations. If our plants become more expensive to operate for Japanese or Indian owners how many new ones will be built? How many will get investment?

The VAT I’d wish to see abolished is the minimum rate the EU decides it should be. You went very quiet about Cameron having to pay an extra tax after the UK made a profit didn’t you. How is the UK supposed to prosper if when it does it has to hand a portion of it to the EU?
I didn’t say we shouldn’t import anything from the EU. You said we wouldn’t be able to import food or car parts. Now you explain why we wouldn’t be able to import food or car parts, on mutual terms, not EU terms. Its how trade is done, or was before the EU decided on terms.
What false promises have leavers made? May has presented THREE EU deals to parliament and they’ve voted against all of them and granted extensions for her to do it. So yes, they have bent over backwards to do deals.
Of course the WTO have rules, but they come without a loss of sovereignty or power transfers to a foreign European organization. How on earth did we ever managed to survive without the EU? We traded with the world and the world traded with us. A common market is good, but not at the expense of losing our sovereignty, because the EU stopped being just a single market EEC a long time ago.
We don’t have huge British car plants, we have foreign ones that assemble parts here and those parts are sourced from around the world. Why do you think they’ll become more expensive if we Brexit? Is it one of those, all the businesses will leave Britain if we vote Brexit? They didn’t did they. In fact the first thing that happened is the US and Switzerland said would trade with us. The jobs didn’t go, businesses didn’t go bust and the city of London didn’t collapse.
There is no reason we can’t carry on trading with Europe, but on mutual terms, not those dictated by Brussels. You have noticed the huge backlash against the two main political parties in the elections recently who are trying to ignore the Brexit vote? Look on that as revenge by the population for all the years of lies and deceit by a remainer political elite.
