Or they might leave even if the money is the same because they feel less welcome.
It's not all about the money. If you have skills that make you attractive to employers in different Country's the quality of life plays an important part in the decisions.

There's a load of people all over the world who are willing to move for work.

The world is a changing place. I'm sure at one time I'd have felt safe in Egypt. I doubt it now.

It's just change. We have hundreds of thousands who come from Asia every decade.

Who knows, I hope not. However Britain is making its non EU bed and will have to live with the result.

Just as France has made its pro EU bed I suppose.

And this before further austerity cuts in order to satisfy bailout conditions imposed by the EU.

An Italian/French/German company looking for an alternative supplier Will have all the EU to look with open borders, no duty, no paperwork.

This ground has well trodden many times before. The UK is a major export market for the EU. Going to create plenty of jobs to help fill in the required paperwork.

There are some Brexiters, possibly a minority who appear to want Britains leaving to be a catalyst for the break up of the EU.
They have in the past posted links to the growing possibility of Le Pen becoming President and to the weakness of Chancellor Merkels in the polls.
Others who know a stable EU will be important for Britain in the post Brexit years will be comforted by this Sunday's election results in Germany.

This regional election is the last before the GE in September.

"Angela Merkel’s conservatives have won a state election in their centre-left rival’s heartland, in a stinging blow to the challenger in September’s national vote.

The western state of North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s most populous and has been led by the Social Democrats (SPD) for all but five years since 1966.

It is also the home state of Martin Schulz, the Social Democrat seeking to deny Merkel, the German chancellor, a fourth term in the election on 24 September. Schulz had been hoping for a boost after two previous state election defeats sapped his party’s momentum.

Instead, Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won 33% of the vote in the election for the state legislature, with the Social Democrats on 31.2%."
"Merkel’s conservatives sought to portray Kraft’s government as slack on security, and also assailed what it said was regional authorities’ poor handling of education and infrastructure projects. The region of 17.9 million – nearly a quarter of Germany’s population – includes Cologne, Düsseldorf and the Ruhr industrial area."

It looks like JPMorgans "may" move some staff from London just became a little more than "may"
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-39922640

"JP Morgan, the US investment bank, has bought a new office building in Dublin that can accommodate up to 1,000 staff.
The bank said the purchase reflected its thriving existing business in Dublin, where it employs 500 staff.
However, the new office may provide space for hundreds of JP Morgan workers who it plans to relocate from London following the Brexit decision.
The building, which will be completed next year, is at 200 Capital Dock in Dublin's docklands area."

Hmmm. Secret meeting between UK officials and Luxembourg Finance Minister. Isn't that forbidden?

I imagine similar meetings will be happening with many countries, this one just happens to have been made public.

It is good to hear that AFD in Germany are apparently losing support and will not mirror the success of other far right parties in Holland, France and Austria that we've seen recently.
I'm personally finding comfort in the knowledge that we in the UK are distancing ourselves politically from the burgeoning fascist problem on the mainland and have in our typically British way managed a fundamental change in direction without reference to the borderline Nazis that other countries seem to use as vehicles for their dissatisfaction.

Well, yes, but AfD got 7.7% of the vote in last weekend's elections, clearing the 5% hurdle necessary to enter the regional assembly and will be represented in 13 of the 16 states. It remains on track to become the first far right party to enter the national parliament since 1945.
