### Comment:
EU loses a tiny export market. UK loses a huge export market. EU needs to make Brexit as painful as possible for the UK so that other member countries don't get any ideas about leaving.

### REPLY:
hmm that seems kind of fucked up to me. you would think they would want to keep people in the EU based on it's benefits rather than threat of punishment. Also why is it a big deal if someone leaves? It only is if all the leaders of the EU care about is power rather than benefitting their member nations. Should be no skin off their back if the EU is 8 members vs 12
