It would have been nice if we knew where the Common market (good idea) was going when UK voted to join (they didn't actually, by the time Harold Wilson had a hasty referendum to legalise things, where the question was phrased 'do you want to REMAIN a member of CM we were already a member due to the fact that Ted Heath took us in illegally with a parliamentary vote, not a referendum as required a couple of years earlier).
It would be nice to know what Federal states of EU want, article 50 never been used before, was never expected to be used and apart from demanding eye watering sums of money with menaces to fund a club we will not be a member of soon. The truth is we both need each other, but the percentage of world trade EU handles is falling rapidly, so we need rest of world as well, without EU negotiating our trading terms with it.
