Comment on Brexit: ‘the biggest disaster any government has ever negotiated’parent

That's why trade agreements are usually negotiated in secret

The last deal I saw negotiated in secret and then leaked (TPP) ended up being a corporate wishlist that benefitted nobody except large companies.

The most absurd part was that it was more about extending copyright and setting up extra-judicial courts than dropping tarriffs yet they still called it a "free trade deal".

Fortunate that it was leaked otherwise this abortion of a deal would have passed.
