Yes it will be a great deal for the UK. We will no longer be restricted by italian tomato farmers to deal with India or China. UK will get back its fishing waters.
Paying the current fees and allowing free movement of labour is an ok price for access to the EU market.
As said, if it means obeying all EU rules, not have any say whatsoever, pay a premium for access in the single market and accepting unrestricted freedom of movement is great for the UK, then be my guest.
You have a lot of incoherent thoughts there. The UK is not financial centre of Europe, its the financial centre of the world tbh and will remain tha same regardless of EU. Hardly 10% of jobs in UK FS will move if no deal is agreed.
If you really think that every members opinion will me heard for a UK-EU deal then you are naive. The three big boys (UK, France and Germany) will sort it out within themselves. The tone from Germany (and even France) is quite favourable, no one else matters.
UK does not have a week hand in this negotiation by any means, that is not the reason for the ruckus. Its because this contingency planning was not done earlier and it came as a surprise. Once the surprise factor wears off its going to be a straight forward negotiation. Especially given the lunetics from vote leave now have no chance of taking power.
Lets see how businesses will fare once the single market's door is closed to them. There again who cares about what experts say right?
Also if the EU is so trivial to you guys and you're so important then why not immediately activate article 50? Surely being boys yourself you can easily sort a deal with the two other big boys in just two years right?
The UK needs the single market and despite being richer then the average country it simply doesn't have the negotiating strength it needs to force the deal it wants. The UK is not the US or Canada who are so big, that they can be considered as continents on its own. Its just a small country the size of 1/3 of Texas and which have problems keeping the whole thing together.
This reality is slowly sinking in, hence why so many politicians are fleeing the sinking ship. I cant blame them. How can anyone believe in getting a good deal when it cant even keep their house in order or convince the other side to start preliminary talks? Its evident whose winning here.
Also please note that any country can Veto a deal if its not right for them and there's plenty of countries who are pissed off with the UK. You cant blame them considering that it had used their citizens as scapegoat for ever ills in the world.Not to forget that its within the EU interest not to give a good deal to the British else everyone would start considering leaving.
Ah and I almost forgot. Good luck sealing a trade deal with China whose favourable for the British. Considering that they are the size of a continent, they are a financial superpower and they cant care less for 'trivial things' like human rights, high safety/quality standards in terms of food/products, then that would be interesting. You may soon have tomatoes with poison for lunch.
