Cons will praise it as removing "red tape" from Brussels, and creating more "flexible" (to bend over) work force.
Dyson will be really happy that he can sell his super powerful suckers in UK, even though he still won't be able to do so in EU.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostYes, they (mostly) want to stay, but if UK indeed exits then might as well try to recover some losses.

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostAnd that's the nub of the problem. It's easy to convince people that an immigrant working for less can take a job away from a British person. It's a bit more difficult to explain how immigration means there's more jobs overall, even when the unemployment figures clearly back that up.
This is where Labour failed so miserably. (Ok, one of the ways).

Originally posted by AtW View PostYes, and also EU legislation designed to have level playing field for all EU members will be gone, so nevermind those paid holidays, overtime pay etc and welcome to kids digging coal in old mines.
Brexit may or may not do a lot of different things, but I doubt it is going to hinder Westminster's ability to pass botched legislation, on things people care about, that only accomplishes part of its purposes whilst generating massive unintended consequences. I know some kids I'd really like to send down a mine without benefit of equipment, but sadly, Brexit isn't going to solve that one.Comment

Originally posted by GB9 View PostThere are potentially more jobs, but are there net more jobs after immigration? Under this government, yes.
