Aye that’s how it’ll work. The EU hates us so much. Obviously. Dear god. And leavers wonder why they get painted as intellectually challenged xenophobes. |
Yeah they specifically hate us...
No, anyone going against the EU project has to be brought into line. Rebates et al that Britain fought hard to win will be under attack, revoking Article 50 being an excellent opportunity to do so. EU would do the same against any other nation in the same situation so how that translates to your charge of xenophobia god only knows... | | | |

The EU would be absolutely delighted if the U.K. decided to stay for the reasons you’ve outlined. Stop being silly. |  |

They hate little Englander types like Rees Mogg, Bojo, Gove, and ukip loons like Farage, but they're not alone there.
The rest of us they quite like. |  |

bluey, I've said this before mate but the rebates are going anyway.

Gunther Oettinger says so. Rebates are not appropriate in a family of nations. It doesn't matter if we can withdraw A50, there will be changes to our terms of membership if we agree to them or not. | |

Without me having to write a lengthy essay on international trade and how complex it is (and that also applies to the UK and its ability to negotiate deals with other nations) I think we are starting to actually see the first ripplings of the effect on the economy as people realise it is actually happening. That is what is putting a lot of people into panic mode. |
No it is not, it is the same Fear Mongering by Mark Carney, it hit the markets in 2016 and hit the market again now.
It comes to something when the BoE supports a lying cheating Prime Minister with even more cheating & lies. | | | |

Why doesn’t the country have a snap vote...
Do you want another referendum?
Yes
No
If over 52% vote yes, then we go for it, if no it’s over...let the politicians decide what’s best.
If we vote yes, a new referendum with 3 choices
Accept deal on offer
Reject deal - accept WTO rules
Remain as we are
Highest % wins
Sorted ðŸ‘
We can then move on from this as the constant uncertainty is doing more damage than anything. |  |

If we have highest percentage wins out of three options chances are that we’ll end up with something that fewer than 50% of the electorate voted for. | |

OK, deriding your principles was uncalled for (and was truly, partly in jest to do with your field of work)...Mea culpa.
The section of the world in which you work is not known for it's social conscience, is it! The majority of those who work in it do it to earn their companies and themselves as much cash (and kudos) as possible.
What are you thoughts on the Greeks lies and deceit. Christ, wouldn't we all like to retire at 40 but who the heck is going to pay for that - do you think that the Greeks are reaping what they sowed? For clarification I'm not talking about the people but their government. |  |

I disagree. The knee jerk reaction of the markets was expected when the referendum result was in and the immediate analysis was that there would also be a recovery.
This is quite different. I have seen 25 percent of my investments disappear which means that my pensions will face a similar shrink. It is not the Bank of England pushing project fear it is most established economists forecasting that is having this effect. |  |

Because that splits the leave vote..
... the only viable new referendum that could uphold democracy would be an Deal or No Deal ballot | | | |

I agree on the first part. People could be asked to rank their choice in order of preference and then eliminate the first choice with the fewest votes and transfer those voters’ second preferences until a majority is reached. | |

I reckon we put all the different deals in numbered boxes and get Teresa May to pick which boxes to eliminate. It can be televised and Noel Edmonds can host. |  |

The predictions were immediate recession which would require an emergency budget - funnily enough, never happened.
The forecasts ( or scenarios as Carney now calls them ) haven't exactly been that accurate. Every story of EU favouring companies looking to leave without actually leaving has been reported by media as fact. Companies making redundancies have had that cited as due to Brexit. Jamie Oliver blames Brexit for some of his restaurants closing whilst ignoring the inconvenient facts that a) his food is shit and b) other of his restaurants were previously close. Every example of investment into Britain has, if reported, had "despite Brexit" tagged on to it.
We've seen scenarios, we've seen forecasts left right and center where the perceived outcome has been treated as fact without critical analysis of the methodology behind it.
Paul Krugman's views on the BoE claims?
"The Bank of England just released some very dire scenarios.
But their bad-case losses from a no-deal Brexit look extremely high. I mean, 8% of GDP was the kind of estimate we used to make for countries with 150 percent effective rates of protection.
I don’t understand how you can get that kind of cost without making some big ad hoc assumptions about productivity or something. And I have worried in all this about motivated reasoning on the part of people who oppose Brexit for the best of reasons.
As best I can tell, the big results depend on assumed relations between trade/FDI flows and productivity. It’s really important to understand that this channel does not follow from basic trade theory and comparative advantage; it’s a black-box story.
What we have are correlations between trade and investment flows and productivity that don’t really follow from standard models. Are these causal? There is surely room for skepticism. Yet that seems to be the big driver of the whole thing. So I’m worried.
Again, I’m anti-Brexit, and have no doubt that it will make Britain poorer. And the BoE could be right about the magnitude. But they’ve really gone pretty far out on a limb here."
Now, if Krugman can openly question the methodology and assumptions bheind the BoE forecasts ( downgraded to s cenarios by Carney ) what confidence can you have? It's not just BoE either, Treasury have been spectacularly wrong at times. | | | |

Yes but When there were only two options, no one knew the detail therefore the third option is now relevant | |

Even remainers want an end to this uncertainty, not all will vote remain again, loads have been diselusioned by the EU since the vote, some have gone the other way, at least with these 3 choices the most sensible and popular choice will prevail and the detail of each is now clearly understood for all to decide.
The goalposts have definitely moved in the last 2 years we now have options...
Soft Brexit - May’s proposal will appeal to both remainers and leavers
Hard Brexit - will appeal to hard line leavers - WTO rules apply
No Brexit - will obviously appeal to remainers
It’s the only way to resolve this mess democraticly | |

Yes because they share exactly the same views on economic policy. Austerity, slashing the public sector. Slashing welfare. Cuts to police, education, health. Promotion of privatisation. The tories and the EU walk hand in hand economically. | |
