MODERATORS
Sounds like you were in it โ I was thinking about this the other day, was the thought at the time (maybe at the beginning of it) that a lot of other countries were also fed up with the EUโs rules and would follow Britain out the door or something? It just all seems so random from the outside.
I wasn't, but that wasn't Britain's reasoning. Although it sure played a part in the EU trying to make it as hard for them as possible to leave
The EU didn't make it particularly hard, they actually were way too lenient and made quite a number of concessions, mostly in order to not escalate the Northern Ireland situation.
It was the UK that kept insisting on renegotiating the Withdrawal Agreement over and over again, and the EU was lenient enough to let them have their way whenever they asked for renegotiation.
