themselves.

Really? How come? May etc doesn't want to simply leave the EU.
She wants to set up a new trade etc deal at the same time.

She would certainly prefer to have one, but knows that Britain
will do fine trading under the WTO rules just like all of USA,
Japan, Korea, India, Australia, NZ etc etc etc do now.

Surely even you have noticed this? The rules for leaving
the EU don't cover this. They cover leaving only. Any
attempt to set up a new deal comes after that.

Article 50 doesn’t say that that comes after, its silent on when it happens.

This was said by the EU from the off.

Another bare faced lie.

But that hasn't stopped May etc trying
to impose her own 'rules' on the EU.

Corse the EU is doing nothing like that with their exit fee that doesn’t
even get a mention in Article 50 or the Treaty of Lisbon either.
