The UK should consider joining the Brics, leaving the EU is a good move the EU as destroyed British heavy industry, agriculture and fisheries. The EU started out as the common market opening trade throughout Europe but has become a superstate with unelected leaders and unrealistic policies. The UK joining the Brics opens up trade with Russia and China, South Africa and India which are in the commonwealth have joined the Brics and as the US economy and the European unions economy looking on the brink of collapse the UK joining the Brics would be a smart move for British business. Germany and France are already doing trade with China and the UK being tied and feeling loyal to the US I feel they are not putting British interests first over these proxy long drawn out wars that is a drain on our economy and we have no right to interfere in other sovereign nations problems just because the US tells us to.
It would be good for the UK to have Brics investment in the UK it could bring in much needed jobs and help British industry get back on it's feet. The Brics nations having a partner in Europe would appeal to them. We are not connected to military pacts, immigration deals it's just business and we would be wise to take this opportunity while we can. -
There may be lots of lobbyists arguing for as little change as possible - that's fine, so long as their solution doesn't conflict with the democratic decision to leave the EU. We can argue all day over the meaning of brexit, but we know with absolute certainty what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean, staying in the EU.
There are three simple tests, three things that unequivocally define leaving the EU - the sovereignty of our borders, courts and government. Any plan, option or path forward, must respect this. Any failure in this regard, will be a failure of democracy and a national disgrace. -
Whiny sore-loser academic who's never done a real job gives his negative butthurt opinions about how real people will do business in the future.

Typical academic, offers not a glimpse of certainty, full of fluff and theories - which means everything yet nothing! Exactly the reason why I turned down a PhD offer, and why the public has stopped listening.
The fact is THE UK IS LEAVING THE SINGLE MARKET. All the major firms, from pharma to banking, are preparing for a full exit, or at least the smarter ones. It is a basic principle of Business Continuity Planning.
The ones that are still speculating all the other possibilities are in denial and will be in serious trouble in 2 years time. Get on with it, act quick to make the most of the worst case scenario and any opportunities that come with it.
