Okay - I was wrong on Brexit

[WTFH]

I think in actuality all the charts show that in or out of the EU all European economies presented seem to have remarkably similar GDP for the timescales in question. Which is probably reflective of wider macro economic factors such as global growth, oil prices, technological advances etc...

In other words, your charts prove nothing, but you still want to say that Greenland grew while Sweden and Austria flatlined.

Quite, in the absence of that, we can only look at Greenland who show growth at that turbulent time.

If you want to take comfort in the experience of a Danish dependency (therefore and Overseas Country and Territory of the EU) with a population of <0.1% of the UK, then go ahead. No point in arguing further with that particular idiocy.

Greenland is a tiny country (in pop terms) which essentially depends on a EU country for survival.
Still we'll find out soon enough, if you're wrong and the UK economy collapses you can always use the excellent logical and analytical skills you've shown in this thread to work abroad, right?

Greenland grew in 1985 when they left.

Sweden Austria Finland flatlined in 1995 when they joined.

By all means provide some real world examples to argue your views.

There are no real world examples of major economies leaving the EU.

There are no real world examples of major economies leaving the EU.

So it's pure conjecture as to what will happen then.

All this who's right / wrong b0ll0cks is meaningless.

Like a safe space for Brexiteers?

Looks like there's a great need for a safe space for Brexiteer types.... what with the banning of the Daily Stormer.

On the positive side, I hear there may be some spare statues from Charlottesville to act as mascots for the next Brexiteer meeting
