Confused Britain

[vetran]

I don't know where you got it that they will refuse having business with us. Nobody really knows what the scenario will be if/when Britain leaves the EU.

This is what frightens me. Little England is up in arms against evil EU, but responsible politicians should offer a vision of the consequences would be. It's not just UKIP that have failed to so, no major parties is offering a clear alternative.

well apart from UKIP non of the parties actually want to leave.

I'm addressing the argument that they are likely to do so.

They are not likely to do so. They would still trade, but with added VAT and restrictions. They would trade with other member states first, with China second, the US third, and so on.

SNP lost a referendum because they were not good at projecting the consequences of an exit and banked on nationalism. Kippers are overestimating their influence. They will do well as a political party as long as they remain underdogs, but I doubt they have the skills to convince the non-angry, non-nationalistic electorate.

Or they may maintain zero tariffs etc to avoid the UK targeting other markets.
