Charting our nemesis

[lonelyplanetmum]

Which chart encapsulates this nightmare for you?

This is the pie chart that I showed my FIL when he was repeating Farage’s drivel. The government’s own 2016 figures showed how statistically insignificant our EU budget percentage contribution always was.

If not seen this before. So ironic. Of the 28 EU member states, which one has the largest population living outside their country?

Answer: the UK.

Yup-we voted to relinquish valuable E.U. Membership apparently to stop the inflow of EU and non EU immigrants? The fact that the most (4.9 million of our citizens ) are living in other countries has gone mostly unmentioned.

Update

lonelyplanet. I haven’t contributed but I just wanted to say thank you. I bloody love this thread

Channel 4 Survation Poll from last night. The will of the people is now remain, as expected.Like Scotland has always England now backs not relinquishing EU membership. Zac Goldsmith take note - the poll estimates that 72% of voters in Richmond and Twickenham back staying in the EU. Kingston is 67%.

Thanks singing.Do post your favourite chart.
Previous post should read " Like Scotland and NI have always done, both England and Wales also now back not relinquishing EU membership."

This one is more of a quick reference diagram showing where Arron Banks and more worryingly Robert Mercer fit in.

If you haven’t studied this yet it’s really worth a read.

Just a selection from this last week

•Europe’s biggest repo trading venue moves from London to Amsterdam-BrokerTec
•Michelin closing down Dundee factory.Further investment no longer viable.
•BNP Paribus (who has previously moved staff) says it will move more jobs if no deal.

Is there a figure for the number of EU citizens who have NOT contributed to the UK tax system who have left the UK? (the low paid, 'under the radar' veg and fruit pickers for example).

I will look for agricultural worker statistics but there is evidence that relinquishing EU membership has caused EU workers to leave.

There are also NHS statistics of an acute crisis staffing levels leading to a dangerous level of under-resourcing in the NHS.80% of respondents – which included nurses, doctors and managers –raised concerns about insufficient staff on to give patients safe and care. My friend who’s an NHS consultant says patients definitely die because the plans they put in place for patients can’t be implemented.

I feel I could waste a lot of energy drawing tenuous links between the historical genetic roots of the population in various areas and the way they voted. Bloody Saxons.

9,000 BC - that's when people started flowing between France,Germany and here. Odd to take against it in June 2016 really.

The closet parallels in those who voted Leave was not age, wealth, northern/southern residence etc. The closet predictor of Leave voting was a belief in reintroduction of the death penalty.

An argument for why referenda shouldn't be held really!

This graph may be historic now but a powerful part of understanding the mindset of voters.

The survey responses (restricted to White British for some reason) showed almost no statistically significant difference in remain/ leave between rich and poor. By contrast, the probability of voting to ditch EU membership goes up to 70 per cent for those most in favour of the death penalty.

From another thread ..Just don't compare it to where we were before the ref.

Graphic showing the votes needed in the HoC to approve a deal from another thread.

Rise in the pound today as the news emerges of a deal being struck- before Parliament votes on it of course.(times in the graph are US).

Handy chart showing some tariffs that could apply under WTO terms- note the 30% + tariffs.

This is from the world economic forum showing the world's $80 trillion economy in one chart.

With no deal, British GDP growth would end up 8 percent lower over the following 15 years according to the government’s own (eventually revealed) reports. So we would look smaller than Italy. Of course we would also no longer have the weight of the green coloured group behind us.

Good summary chart posted on the Westminsterenders thread to add to the collection.
This summarises the possible outcomes and the economic^ risks/^ consequences of each.
