Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger I agree entirely. However, the Tories will not just be negotiating for Britain but for their political future. The only way the electorte will apply pressure is by voting against the main parties. UKIP will potentially do very well out of this. The government and Labour need to recognise what is at stake for them based on the swell of resentment in middle England as demonstrated by the referendum result. Normally protests don't materialise into a shift at general elections but next time I suspect that will be different if the government tries to sell mass immigration repackaged. if the government ignores the people on freedom of movement i agree that UKIP will benefit. its still very difficult for them though due to the FPTP voting system. We are going to have a big shake up though no doubt about it. I dont envy the task boris or whatever the new leader is has in trying to get everyone on the same page.

Originally posted by blackpalacefan i know that, but the tarrifs are very significant plus we'd lose access to the single market. That would be a worry for london, as we are the go to trading centre on account of our access to the single market. i can't see the government gambling at any cost to the economy when they personally dont even care about freedom of movement and the country is pretty much split down the centre on the issue. the only way we'll end up under WTO is if the EU tries to force us own that route, so hilariously we'd have them to thank for it rather than our own politicians. this from just now: Rating agency Fitch has said the victory by the “Leave” campaign could damage the Britain's status as a banking hub. The agency also said most sectors would likely see less growth and lower investments due to the uncertainty about future trade arrangements. "The UK's status as a major international banking hub could be damaged as some business lines shift to the EU. Higher import costs and pressure on exports due to the potential imposition of tariffs would be broadly negative for corporates." Edited by blackpalacefan (27 Jun 2016 5.19pm) Well one proposal I read was to get rid of all tariffs and barriers unilaterally and just trade freely.

This requires no negotiations with anyone. As for all those trade agreements the EU has negotiated with small countries around the world, they have no effect on our total trade or GDP; they simply divert trade to preferential markets away from other world markets, with no effect on world prices of our products. Again no negotiations are needed to keep these unnecessary agreements. There are countless countries, including many much smaller than the UK, that have no trouble trading freely in this way and there is no reason to believe the UK cannot do the same.

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman The problem countries are experiencing economically are because they haven't practised fiscal discipline and the EU haven't monitored it either.

They are now punishing them whilst anyone with capital and transferable skills and probably untaxed Euros in their overseas bank accounts have left the country. It stinks, but the fallout won't end there. There will be more and the whole union will crumble. We're better off out. And I don't know where you get We had the best of all worlds.
