I really can't understand why it isn't going very well considering David Davies MP was in charge of the negotiations for over 2 years.

You can't negotiate with the EU, they are in their own political bubble, just like some of the old europeans in the middle ages who thought the world was centre of universe they think that EU is the centre of the world. USA is getting a taste of what our brexit negotiators were up against. Like trying to nail jelly to a wall.

You have to recognise that the Eurocrats don't want to give the UK a good deal. From their perspective that would just encourage other countries to leave.

You can only elect the ones who have their names on the voting card.

More like. We buy an awful lot from this shop and no longer want to pay an entrance fee they say shut up you stupid mug and give us your money if you want to buy our gear.

Fact is it's only a market and we buy a lot more than we sell (and pay over the odds for our pitch). Why we have bothered trying to have meaningful negotiations I do not know, when from the very outset the Europeans have publicly stated that we cannot be allowed to leave with a deal that is better than staying. They have always been prepared to loose a little when we leave in order not to loose everything when others followed.
