The EU will pause to see how things develop. I think the brexit deal is not only a damage limitation deal, it is also an opportunity for the EU to develop the concept of associated membership not only to suit the UK, but also EFTA countries and soon, Ukraine, Turkey and even Russia. The EU will...

it's just not worth the hassle. I used to keep Y1T4 type cables for this because Bafang sensored brake levers are with Hall (3-pin yellow plug) but since universal 2-pin red plug brake sensors are available, I don't keep them any more. To use the inline HWBS, you have to run the wires directly...

you should create a new thread in this section of the forum: http://pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/speed-pedelecs-s-pedelecs-non-eapcs-overseas.43/ The BBSHD is a very attractive product but it is not road legal without registering.

if you want to see the US of E then yes, I agree. I think the EU has pushed political union as far as it can for this generation.

no they don't, that's the benefit of associations without which large producers will crush small ones. You need barriers, small enough to keep friction to a minimum, large enough to stop the flood and that can be raised with predictability. If you look at CP TPP, 22 countries, a sixth of the...

as you well know, the referendum is only advisory. People voted on the idea or concept but the government of the day has to translate that to concrete proposal and treaty. The deal that would suit most people and the economy is a soft brexit with control on immigration.

52% of those voted the last time disagreed with you. I think those of us who want a soft brexit see long term advantages in leaving.

The stated aim of the EU is political union. The economic union (the SM) is just a stepping stone. BTW, no other trading bloc has a political dimension like the EU.

TPP (or CPTTP) is not about dumping or anti dumping. It's about balancing imports and exports to promote trade and productivity. Countries need stability and predictability.

if you give the vote to the public, you run into the same problem with the last referendum which is a cop out for divided parties (both Labour and Conservatives). Parliament is better equipped to deal with compromises instead of the dictatorial winner takes all outcome of referenda.

very often, the economic trade-offs clash with political trade offs because of discrepancies in wages and social benefits. Keeping them separate gives stability and flexibility. The UK can for example keep to voluntary regulatory alignment with the EU on goods, while signing up to TPP because...

it's up to JC to gift it to TM. He has only to say the word.

I am for UK to join TPP. It's a much looser association than the EU and without a political dimension.

I feel sorry for his table top

for the vote to be meaningful, parliament should have a free vote.

I keep Julet waterproof cables in stock in case anyone needs them. - JY1T4 main trunk cable - motor extension - LCD extension

some do use nasty epithets in their criticism.

the future of brexit is still not written, it is driven by the party in power. Attacking peple who drive it is right, attacking people who voted for it is wrong. The latter have been asked to vote which they did, don't take it out on them for doing what was asked of them.
