If we vote for Brexit what happens

We want to make our own laws, a very curios notion for some. Having laws inflicted by far away bureaucrats that are in no meaningful way accountable to me, where I can unlikely even name them or know how to vote them out, is at complete odds with efficient meaningful democracy

How far away is too far? London making laws over Newcastle is OK?

I agree with you by the way, but I don't understand how UK's indepdence from Brussels is a good thing but Scotlands independence from Westminster is a bad thing.

it seems pretty clear to me that it's about 'taking back control'. Supposedly we will soon take back control of our country. How can we do that if we continue to sell large parts of it to Johnny Foreigner? Surely that's the exact opposite of taking back control. Why isn't the government immediately ceasing any such deals?

One aftermath of the Brexit vote was a lower pound. As I had said before this makes British assets cheaper for foreigners to buy. I had made my comments in connection with British housing but the same is true for British Company's and infrastructure.

indeed that is so
but does that increase the number of sales, decrease them or broadly keep them the same?

It'll increase the sales of assets to foreigners, like our energy infrastructure.

It'll increase our sales of goods/services to foreigners, while we can still afford to produce them at that price.

It'll increase our sales of goods/services to locals.

It'll decrease our sales from foreigners.

UK unemployment fell by 16,000 to 1.62 million in the three months to October, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The unemployment rate held steady at 4.8% in the same period.
Average weekly earnings excluding bonuses rose by 2.6% in the year to October - slightly higher than the previous month.
The UK has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union.
The number of women in work reached a record high of almost 15 million - an employment rate of nearly 70%, the best since records began in 1971.

Another remainer prediction bites the dust.

What one was that?

Still early days on the labour market. It looks to be levelling off, but when unemployment is 4.8% it's never going to fall much further anyways.

A constant Remainer drum beat just after the vote was to say we'd be sorry by autumn, which was then revised to Xmas. Many Remainers assured me (all over the net and radio) we'd have recession by now, people hurting which would make them re-consider their vote


Now of course the Hyde Park Corner speakers have put the day of reckoning back again - plenty say we'll be in turmoil as soon as A50 is triggered, lol

Don't bother. We're living in the post-truth era now.

We sure are, Remainers base their outlook on forecasts that the forecasters themselves confirm are built on very limited information (Radio 4s More Or Less statics show). The OBR have made it crystal clear their forecasts are currently more or less meaningless as they have no idea who even next years European leaders will be, let alone their desire to self-harm with tariffs




Post - truthers might want to set more stall by current economy evidence rather than fairy tale forecasts
