I mean these replies make it sound like I’m advocating for it. I’m just saying it’s an entirely different beast to the EU. Not like by entering the TPP the UK would be in the same situation. Obviously, a lot of the criticism of the EU was the uncontrolled migration, the foreign labour etc. But I agree, if the idea of Brexit was to reclaim sovereignty then this runs counter to that objective. Any prospective member country would be giving a great deal of theirs away, at least in terms of trade regulations. As an Australian, it isn’t covered a whole lot in the media, but there is concern out there about essentially a huge framework that hands regulations over to multi-nationals.

Second, under EU law, immigration of EU citizens in another EU country is both regulated as it is restricted. Each member nation has a array of tools to deport EU citizens if they fall in certain categories (criminals, dependent on social welfare...). It was the UKs own choice not to use them. Also it was the UK`s own choice to allow immigration of eastern European workers much earlier than others. Concerning non EU immigrants, this is an area that is under full control of the nations.

If the EU was just a Trade Union the UK would not have left. Problem is it is NOT just a Trade Union, it is a Political Union with the STATED AIM of eventual Federalisation of its Member States.

TPP member here (NZ). I haven't heard anything about this in my local mainstream media, although to be fair I don't pay them much attention anyway. I'm not actively against the idea of the UK joining as such but given they're on the other side of the world and, as this video points out, they do or will soon have trade deals with most of the TPP members then I don't really see the point of them joining... all it does is give Boris a 'win' to aid in his domestic politics which is meaningless to the rest of us. Something this vid doesn't mention is that back when the deal was nearing completion (when Obama was still the US President) there were many large, organized anti-TPP protests in many of the member nations (including NZ), with things such as the ISDS system and patent protection rules been seen as particularly egregious tools in an agreement that was less about trade and more about expanding US corporate control at the expense of others national autonomy. When Trump pulled the US out (one of his few silver linings) it also created space for some of those things to be renegotiated to be less crappy... however I worry that if Biden wants back in with the TPP he'll try to get those awful old rules reinstated. Personally I wish it had remained as the original P4, as smaller countries like mine will always struggle to have fair dealings with other much larger economies.

And as per your suggestion I’d guess the purpose of said plan is to act as a deterrent to Russia, especially after annexing Crimea on the EU’s border. Generally they don’t seem to give a shit. But does that make it a good alternative to NATO? Considering how few European countries are meeting their defence spending obligations under NATO I’d say yes, because no ones taking NATO spending seriously, except Poland and the now departed UK.

It makes sense just for defense contracts alone. UK has some excellent companies in the defense realm and the tensions in the Pacific would mean a growing market. Fresh winter vegetables and fruits from Chile. Tropical products. Manufactured products from Japan and Vietnam. Tighter connections with Australia and New Zealand. Fish products from all over. And best of all, an alternative to buying stuff from China.

I love how the UK is leaving the EU to join a worse version of the EU. The trading deal with the US would be big, but i guess that if the US join the agreement, the EU would likely try to get a deal with this group.
@supahnubz3 жыл бұрын
If the EU was nothing more than a trading block to us (which was the case for many) then it made perfect sense to leave it in order to be able to strike trade deals across the world. Saying that we wouldn't have as much leverage as the EU because we're a smaller economy is just dumb, seeing as we didn't have full leverage within the EU anyways, and often have different economic interests to those of other EU countries.

The EU has never had any plans to deal with the CPTPP other than the countries it current has deals with. They can now have deals with the others, since the UK left, but with the UK in the EU the EU never would have agreed deals with the UKs partners such as Australia, instead slapping big tariffs on the items Britain most bought from them, to protect the farmers in France and Spain, with their inferior products.

cptpp and the EU are nothing alike. One's only about trade. The other is a political project. We in the UK have a deal almost identical to the one we had as a paying member. The EU has never shown an interest in cptpp. It would take it decades to strike a deal with them.

Too late. Anyone who leaves the EU is outside. There is no automatic re-entry for ex-members. The UK would only have the option to apply for new membership like any other foreign country but would not stand a chance given the GDP debt and government system. In addition, many Member States would likely vote no. EU countries that have been insulted and mobbed by Brexiteers, the British MSM and politicians for the last 4 years will no longer be so friendly towards Great Britain. Perhaps there is a possibility of joining EFTA at some point.

@Yelaa Bob Italian. I'm sorry but after 2016 every "weird accent" was not that pleasant to hear by common people, specially on public transportations where I had some bad encounters. You are giving for granted that everyone can recognise a "good" foreigner from a "bad" one, with a anti-migration climate the everyday man can act like that. I was there because of an international company, for temporary assignments, not for stealing job... and I'm very sorry because back in 2011 I didn't saw anything like that. Don't let me start of the Daily Express titles. I repeat, if you are saying that things are not like that I'm glad to hear it. At the end of the day I'm not welcome as I used to be, I need a passport and a check (i still have to check if a visa is needed for a work trip). Just, please, don't be offensive. I'm just describing my point of view.

The original TPPA had a lot of flack from America - they wanted everything while supplying very little. For example, they wanted both NZ and Australia to disband their government run and funded, medical supply arms (PHARMAC in NZ's case). They got told a resounding No on that case. I'm from NZ, and the TPPA, and the following CPTPP have had quite a bit of press here. The problem would come with the EU - there are tariffs in place for Europe/UK in total (for example, how much beef we can export), and the EU would see it as a gateway into the EU for these countries products.... with the UK clipping the ticket of course. I suspect that the UK will try and bully it's way into the relationship, and when that doesn't work (it won't - remember, these 11 countries refused to do it for the US), they will promise a whole bunch of stuff - which the EU will then threaten to cut off the UK if they come into play.

@John Bull NZ is currently trying to get a free trade agreement with the EU, and agriculture is a big stumbling block (as it was with Canada with the TPPA.) NZ and Australia got burnt bad in 1973, when the UK turned its back on this part of the world to join the EEC. The UK has a history of believing that their point of view is the correct one - which tends to rub countries who used to be ruled by them the wrong way (Canada, Australia, NZ). The biggest problem for the UK is that the Pacific got sick of being ignored by the Atlantic quite a while ago, and have spent a lot of time looking to work together more in our own backyard. Over here, European cars are seen as expensive, more likely to break down, and be very expensive/irreparable when they do. Whiteware is okay, but that's Germany. I'm struggling to think of a British thing in my house... other than the Dyson. Put simply... the UK to a lot of us is something from our past - not our future.

@John Bull I have no doubt that the UK did what it had to - and you are right, I have no idea what the UK was like at that point. NZ had a similar turning point in the mid 80's with Rogernomics. It is beside the point though - or more precisely, it accentuates my point. With a country that has so clearly shown that it will completely change direction for it's own self-interest, why should it be let back into a group it turned it's back on 50 years ago, because it doesn't want to play with the one it went to? Hmm, yes, I am aware that a lot of financial services go through London. I'm also aware that UK institutions have been pulling out of NZ for years, and been selling off to Australia or South-East Asia. The simple fact is - we have far more ties with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Chile and Australia than we do with the UK anymore.
