Zark, now fans of prague have done even worse, they started pissing on beggars

our bench is strong actually, it's the starting 11 that is too weak

Even a tiny reduction in trade would cause hugely negative effects for our economy. Maybe 95% of trade will continue happily and the remaining 5% of UK businesses get screwed. Not worth leaving just because your leader is on a power trip



You're overestimating our bargaining power, the EU is made up of 27 other countries that receive a fraction of their total trade from Britain, whereas we export over 50% of our goods to the EU. Negotiations with a country outside the EU would not have the free movement of people clause in it for obvious geographical reasons.

I know you are aware of potentially negative effects of leaving, but maybe you're downplaying it. Is it worth a recession over?

"...All this leads some economists to expect that Brexit would have substantial consequences. Citigroup thinks the cumulative effect will be to lower GDP growth by 4% over three years. Berenberg, the German bank, thinks that the hit to consumer and business confidence could even trigger a recession. Both Goldman Sachs and Marc Chandler, currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman, think the pound could fall to $1.15-$1.20 in the face of capital flight. This would have an impact on inflation and monetary policy. While Eurosceptics may dismiss these concerns as scaremongering, most strategists seem to think the consequences of Brexit would be negative; that probably means more volatility as the referendum date approaches, particularly if the polls continue to be close."

Key word "think". We think this will happen we think that will happen. There are also those who think leaving will lower basic consumer costs, increase low end wages, decrease housing pressure etc etc

It's not about if we take a hit when we leave, it's about where we will be after the dust settles.

The UK is the 6th biggest economy in the world, the 3rd biggest in Europe. Too big to be walked over and have the rules set by somebody else, Cameron has proven he doesn't have the voice, or ability, to get what is wanted from Europe.

We have different views, which is completely fine, but I certainly am not uninformed, I've read practically everything there is to read about it, just come to a different conclusion to you.

And also "Not worth leaving just because your leader is on a power trip", Cameron wants in, he's not on a power trip.

You're fucked.

I was drunk when I posted the 'uninformed' thing last night, I can be a condescending prick at times...

I was referring to Merkel on a power trip btw, and we're the 2nd biggest economy in Europe after Germany, France is 3rd I think
