    The idea is that since the split was voted down over concerns that Scotland would have to apply to join the EU, there would be a mandate for a re-run.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Why do you think most MP's area all for the EU? It's because once their lacklustre careers are over, or they get shown the door, they'll be given a nice cushy role on some commission or other in Brussels on 300,000 Euros/year to discuss introducing more directives about cucumber minimum diameters.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_trade_area

      The aim of a free-trade area is to reduce barriers to exchange so that trade can grow as a result of specialisation, division of labour, and most importantly via comparative advantage. The theory of comparative advantage argues that in an unrestricted marketplace (in equilibrium) each source of production will tend to specialize in that activity where it has comparative (rather than absolute) advantage. The theory argues that the net result will be an increase in income and ultimately wealth and well-being for everyone in the free-trade area.

        Unlike all the ones that get directorships in the City
        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.

                    Like what?

                    As far as I can tell the sum total of EU rules my company has to operate by is those two extra boxes on the VAT return. And I've always left them blank, as will any business that doesn't import and export in Europe.
