Will of the people? Yes please, I'll have what I voted for thank you very much.

Do you honestly think we would have another vote if it was the other way around?
NO.

So go away and enjoy wages going up.

Why should I go away, don't you like debating?

My wages went down immediately after the vote, to zero, as a direct result of the vote.

You of course remember the vote was advisory and was extremely close. A stronger mandate would no doubt be helpful. Had there been overwhelming support for one course or the other this debate would be moot.

Now that everything is going so well, and the effects of Brexit far clearer, what better time to again take the views of the people. Maybe even have a binding vote.

After all, to say that the basis of Leave was unclear at the original advisory vote would be an understatement.

Yes, this debate would have raged no matter which view had prevailed with such a minimal mandate. Especially as the younger generation demands its own say.

Why wasn't the previous referendum accepted when the nation was asked in 1975? At that time the outcome was overwhelming wasn't it. Why demand this second referendum? And if we can have a second referendum why not a third? Or perhaps you are concerned that you won't get the outcome you desire. Will of the people? That is a real-time logic surely. The Will from two years ago is old news. Things move fast these days.

I would have thought there would be a post brexit blueprint about where we go and where we see our economy in 1, 5 and 10 years, but there's nothing. Just chaos. And people such as yourself who just hold out hope that everything will be alright on the night

Regressive? Depends upon how successful it is.....The EU is ripe for competition as its a lumbering anti competitive mess.

As for blueprints aren't you being a bit naive here? You can look at different projections released by different bodies both for and against Brexit.

But you are looking at economics and listening to economists you can find the predictions you want to find.....it's like a weather forecast....the further out you go the less predictable it is.

Obviously a lot depends upon the government you have and the path they forge....For example, the difference between Foot and Thatcher economically was night and day.

Really well they will have to get rid of Jeremy before I consider voting Labour. Sadly the Tories don't thrill me either and to make matters worse the Monster Raving Loony Party don't put up a candidate around my way so I am not sure who I will be voting for next time.

Countries that are tax havens are usually small nations and principalities that can't compete with bigger countries with large manufacturing, agriculture sectors. I suppose when all those sectors in the UK go to rats*** that could be the only option

You really are clutching at straws

Well actually due to tax secretly laws some consider countries like the US and Germany as types of tax havens.....We are also a type of tax haven and are listed in some reports.

So as usual PP your knowledge on these areas are only half informed.

In reality we would just be accelerating and enlarging upon what we already do and making it official.......and on a scale which would significantly concern the EU.

You're hanging your hat on this, not a word about manufacturing or other sectors and how brexit will improve this

No doubt you'll make something up about that

What have I made up PP? Sounds like you're clutching at straws my man.

As I said, a no deal isn't my first choice but if the EU want a 'punishment' Brexit on poor terms then we should hit them where they are weak.

Manufacturing would continue and after being hit during an adjustment it would improve due to new trade deals with multiple countries who are just lining up.

As I said, a negotiated Brexit is the preferred option.....but I'm not wishing for failure...which seems to be the attitude I'm getting from you.

None of us know how Brexit will go.....give it ten years and see where the cards lay.....If the EU is even there then...in its present shakey form.

Isn't Crystal Palace effectively owned in the tax haven of Delaware?

EU workers down by 132,000 (a record fall).

Wage growth fastest pace since 2008.

Go figure!

I always find it fascinating that socialists have zero grasp of the basic economics of supply and demand.
