Well in the UK and rest of Europe, we will get TTIP which is basically the same as TPP.

There is a 38 degreess page for TTIP [1].

Protesters against TTIP were being labelled as anti-American in the debate in parliament the in December[2], which I find ironic, as the movement against TTIP, TPP etc all started In America.

Another argument used was that nobody had opposed CETA in the same way TTIP so, again must be us being scared of America - I would again put it down to opposition to these treaties starting in America + thi jumpstarting opposition in the UK.
