When we have actually left and time for all of these damaging effects start to kick in , I will come back to this post and we can discuss over some chlorinated chicken what the effects are then.

The thing is Greenland is not an economy that is easily comparable to the UK. There are a lot of things about Greenland that are highly unusual.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Greenland
The economy of Greenland can be characterized as small, mixed and vulnerable.[4] Greenland's economy consists of a big public sector and comprehensive foreign trade, which has resulted in an economy with periods of strong growth, considerable inflation, unemployment problems and extreme dependence on capital inflow from Denmark and use of outside, mainly Danish, skilled labor.[4]
GDP per capita is similar to the average European economies but the economy is critically dependent upon substantial support from the Danish government, which supplies about half the revenues of the home rule government who in turn employs 10,307 Greenlanders [5] out 25,620 currently in employment (2015). Unemployment nonetheless remains high, with the rest of the economy dependent upon demand for exports of shrimp and fish.[6]Comment

If you have a better example for an economy that has left the EU please post it here...
How about Sweden's and Austria's economy joining in 1995:
Finland joined in 1995 too...

I don't see an immediate economic boom for joining...
Three countries joined in 1995 and all three had flatline growth.
But Greenland leaves and GDP picks up.
Hmm.Last edited by PurpleGorilla; 16 August 2017, 12:52.Comment
