I was leaning towards leave at first.
When I found out Putin, Clapton, Galloway and Crashy Time were all in the leave camp, I realised my mistake.
at least you have raised the intellectual level of your usual posts : I see that generali thinks so too.0 -
all change brings risk
democracy always introduces risk : I wonder what the IMF assessment of the risk involved in the US elections.
but clearly there are risks about brexit : the largest is the almost universal belief amoungst the 'stayers' that the leaders of the EU will self harm their own people.
I find it strange argument but clearly believed by most of the stayers here.

This is what they have to say on Brexit:In the United Kingdom, the planned June referendum on European Union membership has already created uncertainty for investors; a “Brexit” could do severe regional and global damage by disrupting established trading relationships.
They do not mention the US elections.0 -
Do we have a plan from Team Brexit yet? Some substance as to what model is intended to be pursued after a Brexit and we enter the post-EU Utopia.
As it looks close I have decided to vote in this referendum for two reasons:
1. To save you lot from yourselves
2. To upset CLAPTON
It's a shame I couldn't have voted in the Scottish referendum.0 -

A plan?....Australia style sovereignty perhaps?“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -

If an organisation or individual makes a pro-remain argument, first thing to do is to look for previous claims by such organisation or individual that proved to be incorrect with hindsight.
Ah, you mean stuff like Osborne: "We'll clear the deficit by 2015" or Cameron: "I'll cut immigration to the tens of thousands"
And you still believe everything they say? :rotfl:If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
Maybe, it's hard to say as I've not read anything that gives a clear plan as to what a post-Brexit UK would be wanting to be like.
What's the plan Stan? (As we say in these parts).
I haven't the foggiest.
Perhaps a post Brexit UK will look like the 16 members of the G20 who aren`'t in the EU.
Is Australia in the G20?“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -

I'd like to see more outline plans.
There can be different post-Brexit plans.
There could be the odd plan from the EU too. The EU seems to prefer reacting from one crisis to the next.
I don't know much about the UK plan for the majority of people who don't happen to live in London, either. They talk about Northern Powerhouse a lot, but it means frack all in practise.
The only ones with definitive plans are the Chinese who want to own the worlds assets by buying them whilst we are distracted; the merry bunch of ISIS who are intent on converting everyone to their brand of religion by killing the sceptics; and Syria who all want to move to the bits of Europe they like (see club ISIS for reasoning).
Plans eh. Over rated.0 -

As we know there are two sides.
Politiciens who are Pro stay, like Cameron (DD) who don't need a plan if they win as it is carry on as before,
Politiciens who are pro leave, like Boris (We await a nickname from Dennis Skinner) who MUST have a plan if they win as it will be all change but seem not prepared to share it with the voters.
So with 10 weeks to go, we still are waiting.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0
