I agree with sasguru but re point 5 and 6, that is only if the UK decides to stay in the wider EEA to which Switzerland , Norway, Iceland and some ministates belong

When that happens, our contribution if we are still in the EU will soar like nothing we've seen or could readily imagine in our worst nightmares.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

This relativity is based on something totally man made, in any case, the "world economy"The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

Originally posted by sasguru View Post1. Brexit's only REAL effect will lead to lack of influence on Europe and a loss of standing and prestige for Britain in the world - as the US and China have made clear.
2. Brexit will lead to the break up of Britain as Scotland will want to join Europe.
3. The cost of Britain's net contribution to the EU is about 1% of total expenditure - i.e. negligible.
4. Britain's economy is not very strong being unbalanced towards financial services and weak in manufacturing. This imbalance will grow if we left the Euro and lost links to large Euro projects e.g. Airbus. It also makes no sense for Japanese and other foreign car firms to stay in the UK.
5. It doesn't seem as if EU immigration will stop. Both Switzerland and Norway have larger per capita EU immigration than Britain and they are outside the EU.
6. We'll still have to follow Euro rules in exchange for trade rights as Switzerland and Norway have had to do.
2. Splendid.
3. 1% of £1billion is £10m. Do the multipliers and you're looking at a big number
4. How has our manufacturing industry fared while we've been in the EU?
5. Means we can close the tunnel though, which is a good start.
6. The Swiss and Norwegians don't seem too concerned.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
