At least we can decide our own laws and WHEN Italy gets in even more trouble with debt, we really won't have to contribute to the bail out and not have to secretly contribute either. Italy's debt to GDP plateaued in 14/15 but if you've seen their economic figures recently and heard some of the commentary, you won't be surprised when it happens. Italy's debt to GDP is the 5th highest in the world at 132%, behind Japan 230%, Greece 176%, Lebanon, Jamaica. Portugal is just behind Italy at 129%. The sh1t is very close to the fan and, as we know, economic life cycles are generally 7-10 years long. Build trade links with the 55% and growing export partners of the UK outside of the EU and protect ourselves from this German export project. COYP

There were predictions which so far have proved remarkably accurate, and there is no reason at all to suggest that their short term accuracy won't be matched by the longer term effects. The only thing which is modifying them is the introduction of some doubt into the scenarios caused by the leave campaigners disappearing and the resilience of the remainers not to accept the result at face value. I don't know what every remainer was thinking. For myself it has little to do with the single market and everything to do with our security and our place in the wider world. As the influence of the USA fades and Asia grows we need to build a strong block here in Europe. We need to cement the former USSR countries to the EU and avoid them being gathered back in by Russia. If Brexit causes contagion and the break up of the EU itself, let alone the breakup of the UK as well, then the whole event would be a disaster. So my thinking was not about economics but about the bigger picture.

Originally posted by Mr_Gristle Facts aren't daft Hrolf, they are neutral. The fact that there still has been no plan or clear strategy articulated at any stage by Leave unequivocally proves the fact that all they had (and have) is rhetoric. There is no program to get with or even an embryonic outline to give the people. Who's wearing the blinkers? It is daft. No government who comes into power actually knows what they will do specifically, let alone in this one of situation. Of course there is no specific plan because the circumstances are fluid to a large extent. This will involve a negotiation with people on the British side who haven't even been appointed yet. SO let's stop all this spurious, "where's your plan" nonsense.
