      I am going to take a stab at the lower end of the lower 50 percentile.

            I believe he is factually correct so his IQ is irrelevant.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                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...
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  = €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?
                  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.

                    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?
                    You come across as thick as mince TBH.
                    Hard Brexit now!
