5:36 am
done but some of those aren't so sure and explains. with the conservative party ahead in opinion polls boris johnson's campaign to get bricks done could prove election winning and we can get on with that deal not just the promise of leaving by january 31st but with a trade deal to by the end of 2020. more than 3 years after the ukase breaks it referendum it is a beginning timeline but one that is viewed with rather less optimism by the e.u. side it's for him it's much easier to sell people this story he knows the truth he's clearly not telling people the full truth. into felt is a member of the european parliament she's fiercely and he breaks it but reconciled to want mainline or good it will be very difficult i mean people often make the comparison with the negotiations we had with canada for
5:37 am
a free trade agreement i mean canada is probably the most european country on earth . they're very close to us and yet it took 7 years to negotiate a deal and it still hasn't been ratified if breaks it does become law by january 31st that would leave just 11 months to complete a trade deal before the end of the formal transition period if you thought negotiating the withdrawal agreement was tough say what is here in brussels you ain't seen nothing yet there's talk of a brutal reckoning for u.k. negotiators as they get to grips with the future relationship complete with uncomfortable compromises prolonged uncertainty and yet more nail biting deadlines to come. boris johnson insists they will be no further extensions raising the prospect of no deal on future relations between britain and its biggest trade partner really had several clif in this process and really we've got one coming up
5:38 am
even before the end of next year because there would have to be a decision normally or whether to extend the transition period in the middle of the year so actually with the time the kind of response the we would get even if everything goes according to plan there from the u.k. government side and leaves on january 31st wrist but it would be very short a fast or far i wouldn't necessarily take his claim starting would extend at face value because he also said the u.k. would leave that you on the 31st of october come what may and here we are but i think concerning the trade relations it's a bit like asking whether you can build a house in a week of course you can bit house in a week but the question is what kind of house you're going to get and whether anyone is going to be very happy with the house it's an irony not lost on many that the oldest part of the european parliament building in strasburg is named after britain's wartime leader boris johnson if he wins will need
