The Eu doesn't care that much about Erasmus with the uk. They care about youth nobikityband defense. Being coy on Erasmus is an own goal. Its supposed to be mutually beneficial, not a goal the EU specifically wants.

The EU need Britain less than Britain needs the EU. Playing harball means losing out, not negotiating a batter deal.

My point was we have so few cards to play we kind of have to play hard ball with them. Once they're gone, we'll have nothing left that the EU needs from us, but still have a ton of stuff we still need. We need to squeeze every last little bit out of the little we have.

Or our politicians could actually start to admit that we can't get a better deal, and openly say Brexit was a mistake. Then we can start the long road back.
