  • In this new Federal Trust video, Brendan Donnelly and John Stevens review the British decision to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership or CPTPP. They believe that this decision will bring at best minimal benefits to the UK and some disadvantages. Its importance is being overstated by the British government simply as a distraction from the unfolding difficulties of Brexit.
    SPEAKERS:
    Brendan Donnelly is the Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
    John Stevens is the Chairman of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.

    The chap on the right said, " If we decided that we wanted to rejoin the European Union, we`d rejoin the European Union." Not so fast, bro : We would ask the European Union if it would have us and I think the likely answer would be "No!"
    It takes - as you`ll know - every member state of the EU to accept an application to join.

      Hi, greetings from the evil EU. I think the EU would take the UK back. It would require a very big change in attitude and a large majority in a referendum that has been thought through and where what next is set in stone. Changing the first-past-the-post system should also be a requirement.

      Might it one day change to a 4% gain as future time passes and future change impacts.

Of course you're in favour of a federal Europe; decisions are then effectively taken behind closed doors, doubtless with the input and unelected and unaccountable quangos and pressure groups such as your own, which then present policies to be approved by the European Parliament, an institution with the teeth of an old crone, or one of Macbeth's witches.

      I think you are quite right that this was one of the (many) serious flaws of the Remain campaign in 2016 (George Osborne imagining he could reprise the economic fear campaign which (narrowly) won the 2014 referendum in Scotland). But the Federal Trust has always believed the process of European unification, represented by the EU, to be far broader: primarily about preserving European political, economic, social and cultural strength in a global context. Democracy is critical to European identity and with globalisation having internationalised (and thus rendered more powerful) so many economic, social and cultural processes, unless democracy in Europe is capable of internationalising itself, going beyond the traditional nation state, so as to be empowered to meet and manage and legitimise such processes, it will be overwhelmed, suborned and die. I also think British, English identity is rooted in some 3000 years of shared European history in its many forms, and should not discard this on account of the special and unrepeatable global history of our last 300 years. In some respects I regard rejoining the EU as essential for us to take back control of that deeper reality, which Brexit seems bent on denying, with potentially very grave consequences.

    What a self righteous interview.
    I voted to join the COMMON MARKET not the EU,and before you say it, never was it explained that it would be a political union or scrapping the pound,or a European army,if it had Britain would never have joined in the first place.
    Even so our country changed under the common market,hedges were ripped out to make fields bigger , with CAP money,thus decimating bird and insect habitat.
    More chemical fertiliser and insectorside was then needed to be spread on the fields,rivers became more polluted.
    On the eastern part of the UK, because fields were made bigger and the land is flatter the fertile top soil was slowly blown away by strong winds.The UK is the windiest country in Europe.
    To refertilise fish meal was used from our fish stocks cought by French and Spanish factory ships from our once fertile fish stocks in the Uk surrounding waters,they devastated fish population's with smaller net hole sizes.
    The axel weight of wagons went up devastating Motor ways not designed to carry the excessive tonnage, old villages had damage done to cottages due to vibration.I could recount many things that changed under the common market and not for the better,but most of all I resent my vote being lent to promote a super state that was brought in underhand by whatever means.
    So when I listen to pompous interview's that fail to explain the disadvantages of the EU it gets my back up.
    He fails to say that the Uk is a democracy and was overruled by an autocratic EU system.
    That for me was the reason for voting brexit.
    Should we rejoin
    we would have to adopt the Euro and the Lisbon treaty for any new joining members,I dont think the UK would go with that.
    The main reason we are not doing so well is incompetent government and the intelgencia not being able to get over it.
    It would be better if everyone got behind brexit and made it successful and getting rid of stupid net zero.

      Britains trade with the EU has actually gone up since brexit.
      Ask Italy about the eight thousand migrants turning up last week in Lampedusa, the leader on the island said for the last twenty years the EU has never been seen to help or had a policy,ask Greece as well they would probably give the same answer.
      Where is the EU policy to patrol its southern border to stop the migration of people?
      Where is the EU policy in the Sehal to stop the trafficking ?
      What about Germany in recession and the violence in France?
      What about Hungary siding up to Russia?
      What about the EU trying to force a migrant quota onto Poland and Hungary ?
      What about Germany,France and several other EU countries contributions to Nato being below two percent of GDP but still want its protection ?
      What about Austria still taking Russian gas through the back door.
      The combined military contribution from the EU to Ukraine in particular France is less in proportion than ours.
      The UK is still leading the way by being first to offer tanks ,missiles, training and other equipment,that's something we should be proud of.
      We have left the EU for good or bad,we as a country need to get over leaving and move on .What makes you and others think the EU wants us back anyway?
      As in life if you get divorced because one or both of you were unhappy,you don't go back, but make a new and better life.

We've got some French friends, and they tell us about just how bad the situation is in some French cities, where anger with Macron's government is at boiling point; strangely enough, none of this is ever really reported by the BBC, mainly because it doesn't fit in with the BBC's "EU=always good, Brexit=always bad" narrative. The EU itself seems to have come to terms with our exit; why can't some Remainers? I suspect it's due to their sense of entitlement; in various guises they've run this country in their own interests for decades, craftily making sure that the public had no vote on further EU integration, and just couldn't believe it when their stranglehold was broken by the Brexit vote. I see that Stephen Fry is the latest celebrity Brexit-basher; I wonder which council housing list he currently resides on, which low-paid job he's trying to obtain, or indeed which NHS waiting list he is on.

      The governor on Lampedusa said for the last twenty years the EU has done nothing about this problem,Europe's demograph will change forever if some measures aren't put in place including the UK.
      France and Germany have closed their borders due to this invasion of Italy, so shengen really works then!

      @@phillipneale5256 Thanks, Phillip, I will definitely check out that documentary on You tube and give you my thoughts on it. You're absolutely right about Shengen; it's funny how the EU protests about the "sanctity of the Single Market"when it suits them, but then blatantly breaks those very same rules to gain the outcomes it desires, as it did for membership of the Euro. In some countries' cases, the convergence criteria needed was just ignored, these sacred rules just binned for convenience's sake!! The Euro was always political in nature, enabling yet more centralised control of a shared currency, a fact the people of Greece found to their cost from 2011 onwards.
      What worries me is our forthcoming General Election; I think the Conservatives are discredited, often incompetent, and deserve to lose. However, if Keir Starmer wins, and I suspect he will, he will almost certainly rule out EU membership, whilst simply aligning us as far as possible to EU rules and regulations, as a cynical prelude to eventually going the whole hog and rejoining the whole damned thing. Dull though he is, he isn't stupid, and he needs the Red Wall back.
      Yes, the Establishment elite love the EU; its very nature enables them to smuggle in policies they'd never get pass their electorates in open elections, like pretty much open borders. That's why there's no point arguing with people like the Federal Trust about the "democratic deficit"; that's the very thing they most like about the EU!! They can social- engineer away to their hearts' content; those democratic elections must be so vexing and tiring for them, and us "plebs" might ignore their lofty proclamations and vote the "wrong" way, as we did in 2016.

In a decade or two everything will be different and some of the acrimony caused by the brexiters, both inside the UK and in relation to EU member states, will have died down. Sadly for me that timescale means it's unlikely that I will personally enjoy the benefits of EU membership.

In the EU, the parliament debates policies proposed by appointed, not elected, politicians and officials; that is the difference.
