Old Thickos versus Young Educated

[dx4100]

I am still undecided but leaning ever closer to voting remain. I just feel the 'Out' guys have simply not articulated a clear picture of how the country will compete in a post exit world. They keep blowing all this hot air about 'We will trade with the world blah blah' . Of course we will continue trading, we already trade with most of the world anyway, the point is we will be in a very weak position to strike Trade Deals with other major countries. The reason it's taking so long for Canada and the EU to strike a trade deal is because the EU can drive a hard bargain due to the size of it's market. The same thing with TITIP. The UK on it's own would not have such leverage so it's either we continue to trade on basic WTO rules, or we strike trade deals with other countries, on much worse terms than we could have got being in the EU. To put it bluntly , I simply can't see how the UK would be able to trade with China, India, Canada, The US...etc on more favorable terms outside the EU than in it.

If I were pursuing academia all over again studying in the EU would be a serious consideration. But the uni's in Scotland are free anyway
