So what? If all South American nations joined Mercosur, it would have 100% of South America's GDP. That doesn't mean we have more or less than we did before.

In Chile we have the highest GDP per head in South America and we are not in Mercosur.

@1 - Your comment makes little sense. The UK is a country and Mercosur is a trade and political agreement between 6 countries.

Malvinero1 if you want to insult the British, mention how their moronic conservative government’s economic plan cause an economic retraction in the last quarter, and it looks like Britain is headed for Recession #3. The Pound just went down compared to the Euro and the Dollar. A few more years with this conservative government’s economic policies, not only will the Malvinas be begging to become Argentinean, but all the British will.

Agreement resulting in full trade protocols and practices is good for both parties ........
but will Argentina (or its surrogates) scupper Brasil's prospects of joining the First World?
