The all new and improved Referendum thread.

It makes no difference either way. German company takes over British company is all there is to it.

Maybe if we weren't in the EU we could stop this from happening...

 

Aye don't listen to big business !

 

How?

 

We do as buyers - every vintner in Europe is ****ting it in case you switch to New World only....

 

Two people have the same product and want to trade with a 3rd person

One person who has product is in same club ad person wanting to buy the product

Guess who gets the trade

 

Mick made a good point about New world wine.

How can they sell it at about the same price taking in all the shipping costs?

 

Blatantly obvious eh?

 

We could simply pass a law to stop the takeover, protectionism.

 

You'd think ..,

If people and politicians believe that exiting the eu won't damage trade then

Especially as the uk doesn't have unique products or services to trade with

 

How would that play out with the European business community?

 

Because they don't stick a tenner on a bottle purely because of the name? Nah I dunno but guess a lot of it may be economies of scale and, possibly, cheaper production.

 

The person selling it cheapest.

 

And the world trade organisation - unless we are leaving that as well......

 

They'd be crying into their apple struddle.

 

If one pays tariff duty and the other doesn't who is most likely to sell it cheaper?

 

Not a big wine drinker <heterosexual> is there much of a difference in quality?

A girl I know prefers some English fizzy wine to Champaign.

 

The world is a lot smaller now than it was a hundred years ago.

 

The royal Bank and prudential are moving to France if they don't get the vote they want.

 

If they were both similar prices but extra taxes for selling outwith the EU....

 

It would be a disaster for businesses according to the biggest businesses in the UK.

81% of businesses here want to stay in the EU.
