If we vote for Brexit what happens

Conrad

Lots of Remainers cite UK inflation as a reason to reverse Brexit. UK inflation is 1.6%.


EU inflation is 2%.


To follow their logic, nations need to bail from the EU.

For all those harping on about 'once in a lifetime opportunity', the Scots were told back in 2014 that a vote to stay part of the UK would guarantee their place in the EU.

It did....well, for a couple of years anyway

And let's be honest, if a once in a generation referendum means only 3 years, this is a pretty long time by SNP standards

Check again. This argument has been solidly refuted. It was reported by many at the time that the Conservative manifesto for 2015 would include an in/out EU referendum.

They voted to remain part of the UK in the knowledge that such an eventuality was a possibility.

A pathetic argument perpetuated by the independence campaign that you've lapped up.

"I'm a victim! I'm a victim! They told me we'd stay in the EU!"

I think most Scots without an axe to grind are far more intelligent than that.

Freedom from paying billions to the EU (30 billion since 23rd June)- freedom from paying for Scotland - could this day get any better?

It's like we've won the lottery of life.

Don't forget, since Scotland will be remaining in the EU, the 60bn in ongoing liabilities that the EU want us to pay will surely also be landing on Ms Sturgeons desk.

Don't forget NI. They voted to Remain too.

Scotland+NI could keep the "United Kingdom" tag for all I care, and Juncker gets his way and the EU retains a revised UK.

Once free of Scotland we can sort out this crazy business about moving the clocks back and forwards too.

Great. We want you to go....

You speak only for yourself Posh! We will clearly need people of Hamishs' undoubted talents in a shrinking UK to counteract the brain drain and pay taxes to allow the brexiteers to stay at home watching Jeremy Kyle and go shopping for their frozen pizzas and pot noodles.

May better watch out...Tory splits may grow as the nature of the deal becomes clearer:-
Conservative MP Neil Carmichael, mocks Theresa May’s insistence that “no deal” with the EU would be better than a “bad deal”. He says:

Theoretically she is right, but only if the ‘bad deal’ is in compulsory slaughter of the first-born territory. We are fooling ourselves - and the government would be fooling the British people - if we fail to understand that a default to trading with out biggest (and currently most closely integrated) trading partners on the basis of WTO rules would be profoundly damaging.

Makes you wonder if people would have voted Brexit if

Meanwhile, from the bungling EU's prospective newest entrant, Turkey, we hear the pleasantries outlined in an article from the BBC (for example):
