Er, all UKIP MEPs for a start. Then possibly all the rest in their EU camp. Then if the referendum is a 'yes' to stay in the EU then presumably all those politicians who are in the Brexit camp will resign...Originally posted by Flashman View PostEh? I think Nige's working full time to get us out. How many politicians can you name that want to scrap their own jobs?

A significant volume of their trade with us is in Financial services, a lot of that trade would move to within the EU(Frankfurt, Paris) For example I cant see how the city of London would remain the Number 1 issuer of Eurobonds if were outside the EU.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostGlad you said this as I was thinking about exactly this claim:
https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Statisti...n-EU_Data.aspx
= €13bn / €21bn or 45% / 55%, total €34bn (imports + exports) or ~50% of our trade, per month or €408bn p.a.. That means €408bn or 50% is with non-EU countries.
International trade in goods - Statistics Explained
Minus the €408bn that the UK accounts for = €2975bn.
I.e. if we were to cut all trade with the EU we'd lose 50% of our trade, and the rest of the EU would lose 13%. They need us more than we need them?
Am I wrong about any of this?Comment

I doubt it. You've just posted a table that shows that it took 9 years for Switzerland (a much smaller country) to negotiate a deal with the EU and you think that's good?Originally posted by Flashman View Post
