I like to think. Inspired by solutions. Results-driven. Ideas sometimes unpopular. Somewhat autistic.

      Competitive on WTO regs? Whereas the rest of the EU won't be. How's that work?

      CU distorts the internal market so that it is not competitive in the world market. Outside, UK can rebalance economy to be world competitive

      Cu is very largely about agreed standards and passporting. How does it affect competitiveness?

      Unsurprisingly, you're not interested in actual dialogue. Here, how a customs union distorts the market: http://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Global_economics/Trade_creation.html …

      And the article doesn't even touch on the complications of unbalanced subsidies.

      Do you fail to understand that this precisely describes the distortion that is occurring...?

      Distortion assumes a natural state. None such esists. No market is free in any case. Not since Paleolithic times.

      There is no world stage. There is no world free market.

      You don't need a free market to have a world stage. "World stage" simply means trading with the rest of the world. Which the WTO facilitates

          Does the WTO distort?

          as already stated, the distortion I describe is relative. EU market distorts relatively to world market.

          But world markets are also distorted. You think China & the USA are not? Show me a significant undistorted market. The EU is a world market
