Re: What is impossible?

@ Brangdon

"Leaving the EU is possible. Doing it smoothly in the timeframe available with the resources available isn't. It's a complex task."

What is smooth? Leaving the EU requires change. How much change can occur when leaving a protectionist block and opening up to global trade?

Another issue of smooth is also influenced by the ongoing desire to remain against democratic decision and against the desired outcome. The negotiations should have been smooth, but then May stepped in and insisted on keeping the negotiations going even when the EU refuses to continue. How can that go smooth?

Leave is very possible. Smooth is difficult when self inflicted difficulty is applied.
