German industry didn't get where it is by competing on price.
And where "from the World" can I buy a cheaper BMW than Germany?
So we buy those under WTO rules, and the government collects the extra tax from the exporters.
Next.
You were arguing this would give us some leverage over the German government. Have you changed your mind?
Another factor you're forgetting about is the exchange rate. That BMW will probably become much more expensive regardless of tariffs.
The leverage varies according to the product. In terms of branded cars like MB, BMW, etc then the obvious leverage is the simple fact that we have a lot of customers and they want to sell them!
Remember MB is a premium brand over here, but more of a work-horse in Germany. They really need these sales.

You've just said that people will swallow the WTO tariffs. They'll get the sales.
Good point, I certainly remember when the weekly pay packet was the ruler of our house, and you knew to the all important penny what should be inside ..
Seems much more pro-Remain group than in previous weeks. Note in particular the comments about Martin Lewis. That seems significant to me.
That does sound like a nation shifting, reluctantly and grudgingly, to a narrow REMAIN victory. Am 90% sure this is what will happen.
I'm not so sure. Bear in mind this was in Cardiff which will probably be one of the most pro remain parts of Wales. I wish we had more info on where the respondents come from. Were they all from Cardiff or have some people come in from say the Valleys?

Dr. Henretty expects Remain to carry Cardiff by 54/34 if the nation is split 50/50.

"I am more convinced than ever that our country will leave the European Union in just two weeks’ time."

Though it is exactly what I would expect too.
