AIBU to be cheerful and optimistic about Brexit because....

[HeartsofOak]

We had a record-breaking 72% of the population take part :)

Our sovereignty will be restored

The first General Election in decades that will truly be about how the country is governed

MPs will be directly held accountable

We can plan a proper strategy for immigration and allocate resources to avoid overloading services

We can have a fair immigration strategy

We can be more versatile and responsive to world economic changes

We can decide how to spend our national resources

House prices are projected to fall meaning more people will be able to first time buy

There will be downward pressure on prices of goods as import terms (we buy more in than we sell out) can be negotiated directly with UK

There will be inward investment as many manufacturers will prefer a UK base rather than their current EU base

What other positives are there?

Green, that's great you mad party people you, Rule Brittania.

You didn't mention that any of your neighbours joining in the party were 'immigrants' however...did you even invite them? Or does your street not allow any to live there?

Dear oh dear blue not quite sure what your point is. Oh yeah that's right, I must be against immigrants because i voted leave. Well done you!

Thank you !

I'm glad that my children will most likely lose the automatic right to live and work in the European Union.

What about their right to live and work outside the EU?

Just what do remain voters have against non europeans? Are you racist?

The petition seems to be gaining momentum. Would it be worth considering having a counter petition to uphold the result of the referendum? I've no idea how to do this, maybe someone has done it already and I haven't found it yet.

Another positive is that we can have further funds available long term to invest in schools and NHS and public services.

Oh yes, that will be funded by the £350 we paid into the EU every week!

Get a grip and start reading the news. It is full of fabulous news about how the shit is hitting the fan at alarming speed.

why so many countries gagging to get in?

Possibly because they want the handouts and a nice place at the trough for their leaders?

What on earth is the relevance of a right to live and work outside the EU, green? And which Remain voters have said they have anything against non-Europeans?
The relevance is that we shouldn't be focussing only on Europe. some of the fastest growing economies are outside of the EU. It could be argued that being in the EU actively discriminates against those outside EU .

Second thoughts, don't answer that. I don't think I need to hear the views of a goady twat.

Thanks.

Green, that "the fastsest growing economies are outside of the EU" line is tired.

Those economies are mostly growing faster because they are still developing. Rather than just looking at GDP growth you have to take into consideration GDP per capita, the gini coefficient and the nominal size of the growth. 6% of 100 is not the same as 0.5 % of 100,000.

Everyone's an expert on economics these days, well if you think repeating others soundbites makes you an expert.

Green. your attitude basically in that one sentence. Creating a 'Them and Us'. Causing a divide and closed door.

To your point, I don't believe Remain voters are racist generally and none are campaigning hard about immigration. Remain intelligently do see past this and the bigger economic picture.

My point about remain being racist was tongue in cheek because in the last 48 hours I, as a leave voter, have been accused of being uneducated and racist by some incredibly arrogant people. We need to be thinking globally.or example, If the best person for the job comes from India, it shouldn't be made very difficult to employ them.

You can already employ them, non EU immigration is higher than EU immigration.

Actually Farage losing his job is the only good thing to come out of this.

It's harder when in EU. A friend runs an IT company and is forced by EU red tape to employ from EU when the skills he needs are in Asia.

It's harder but you can still employ them. The red tape is not EU red tape but UK Red tape, our national government controls non EU immigration.

Also it's likely that EU immigration would. Continue at similar levels even with controls.

I'm not talking about immigration, i'm talking about working.

What you are talking about will happen when we're out of the EU, you'll have to employ domestically if anyone applies with the minimal requirements before bringing in someone better suited for the job from overseas

That not the EU doing that, that's our domestic rules, and all it'll mean is less choice for employers because they'll still have to employ one of the minimum requirement domestic candidaes, there'll just be less of them so you'll have to employ someone shitter who you wouldn't have employed when we were in the EU because there would have been more suitable candidates to chose from

Food prices may well go up, farmers will lose their workers as they are mainly from the EU.

The business I work in, my small business and my husbands business all rely on people with disposable income as well, we weathered the last recession not sure if I have th fight to get through another

Daniel Hannan (MEP) wrote in The Sun yesterday that he worked "virtually full time for 7 months since Christmas" on the Brexit campaign.

This is a guy, who, you know, was being paid to act as an MEP? I wonder how much of his day job he got around to doing. Total feckwit. I'm overjoyed if he's lost his job.

Daniel Hannan is guilty of moral hazard, he advocated a course of action that puts the risk on other people. He can leave the European Parliament but will still qualify for his pension from it, he will go on the lecture tours and after dinner speaking circuit and probably get a non executive directorship in a firm that backed brexit.

The British people who voted with him have taken all the risks, he has taken none.

Cheerfully optimistic? Have you read the news recently? Are you aware of what is happening?
There is nothing optimistic to come from this. Everything that has happened so far has been hugely negative.
The rise of racially motivated hate crime in particular which is a direct result of the vote to leave as it has emboldened the voices of xenophobics and racists everywhere is quite frankly terrifying.

Because Parliament might actually grow a pair and overturn the result. Can't see any other reason for optimism .
