I don't think anyone realises how bad Brexit will make things.
Have you got a crystal ball or summat?
How do you know how 'bad' Brexit will make things. They export more to us than we export to them so it is more in their interest to have tariff free trade than it is ours. Do you honestly think German car makers and Continental wineries are going to want to lose UK trade?
The sky isn't going to fall in because we've left the sodding EU! We will be saving 50 million a day in membership contributions just for starters. We weren't in the eurozone anyway, so currency wise we are just fine - and we will be free to make trade deals with whoever we want.
There are nearly 200 countries on earth and less than 30 of them are in the EU. Of those, most are net recipients - getting more money out than they pay in and want the UK market far more than we want theirs - particularly the poor Southern euro states.
What terrible things are actually going to happen to us do you think because we decided to quit the EU? Countries smaller and less wealthy than the UK function perfectly well outside of political/fiscal unions.
The EU itself is up shit creek at the minute. The single currency hasn't worked, the Eurozone remains in crisis with youth unemployment at record levels in the poorer Eurozone economies. Nearly 50% in Spain and Greece. 12.1% in the UK. Also the UK leaving means that they lose a fifth of their budget, a black hole in the EU coffers that can only be filled by Germany - something that doesn't sit too well with the German people themselves, hence Eurosceptic parties making gains in Germany - something that would have been unheard of five years ago.
But it's the UK apparently that is going to economic hell by leaving such a marvellous institution?
If that's the case, why is Euroscepticism is on the rise in virtually every single member state right across the Union with parties committed to leaving the EU becoming political forces even in the more successful Euro countries like France and The Netherlands?
The UK might have been the first to head for the exit, but it's not necessarily going to be the last.
