Can Someone Please Explain To Me... The End-Process Of The TPP Becoming Law, Internationally ??? [View all]

[WillyT]

Not the end-game... although, please, give it your best shot.

What I'm talking about is... why exactly is the U.S. the seemingly "final" arbiter of this agreement ?

The twelve nations currently negotiating the TPP are the US, Japan, Australia, Peru, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Chile, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, and Brunei Darussalam.

I know some are, to put it politely "Autocratic", yet there's still Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico... are we waiting with baited breath to see how their governments vote?

Or... have they already passed the thing with open and honest discussion?

Just how much do we rule the world ???



Seriously... how did it get to this point, and what happens if New Zealand (for instance) objects?

Or the U.N., or the Vatican, or anybody other than us.

Are all ducks lined up in a row... and the world waits for... US?
