Deep dives
The Future of Brexit Negotiations
Despite Boris Johnson's new majority, a softer Brexit trade deal is not necessarily more likely. The increased majority may lean towards a harder Brexit as the balance in Parliament has shifted, making it easier for those pushing for a different type of Brexit to have their way while accepting trade-offs more readily.
Challenges in Brexit Negotiations
Beyond trade agreements, hurdles in Brexit negotiations include complex issues like fishing rights, security arrangements, governance, details concerning Northern Ireland, services, governance of agreements, and the relationship's regulation after Brexit.
Reflections on the Brexit Process
Post the referendum, concerns around trust, communication, and respecting the result were highlighted. There were missed opportunities for dialogue and reconciling differing views, leading to entrenchment and a lack of reflection on lessons from past referendums.
Lessons on Post-Brexit Identity and Communication
Learning from global examples urging dialogue and understanding post-referendum divisions, especially around respecting differing views and emphasizing communication and identity. Reflecting on mistakes to avoid polarization and foster dialogue could lead to a more unified approach in the future.
Brexit brings end to blaming Europe for political decisions
Brexit signifies an end to UK politicians using Europe as a scapegoat for policy shortcomings or unemployment. Michael Gove highlighted this shift noting that politicians can no longer attribute issues to EU laws. The absence of EU as justification places accountability squarely on the shoulders of domestic policymakers. Politicians are now compelled to face voters without the shield of EU blame.
Predicting Brexit outcomes and potential EU reforms
Post-Brexit, the EU aims at unity rather than further integration due to Brexit-induced turmoil and widespread voter resistance to federalism policies. EU member states play crucial roles in trade negotiations, requiring unanimity and potentially leading to varying priorities among nations like fish, cheese, or champagne. The dynamic between the EU Commission and member states is pivotal, influencing future regulations and market access agreements.
Jermv Vince and The Lord introduce our final BREXITCAST LIVE. We invited Jake Yapp and booked an ABBA tribute act for LOLs. We laughed a lot and cried a little. Thank you Brexitcasters! What an amazing journey. Bring on Newscast! (Yes we know it sounds crap now but they said that about Brexitcast at the start).
