If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

for the same reason that there WASN'T a recession when we DIDN'T join rhe euro, inspite of all the great and good saying we were doomed unless we joined.
Except that was completely different??
Look - I accept that the UK might vote Leave.
THAT IS FINE.
But - there will be a recession.
THAT IS FINE TOO.
What's it going to be like????

The head of the WTO was apparently in London today to inform us how UK exporters will have to pay up to £5.6Bn in duties should we leave the EU. (Note the 'up to')
http://news.sky.com/story/1708309/brexit-could-cost-uk-exporters-5-6bn-a-year
This confirms the 4% WTO tariff the EU will apply.
So, we're minus £5.6Bn on our exports but plus £9Bn on our net contribution to the EU.
Where's the problem?
The 9bn we're supposed to be saving has been spent tenfold already under brexit fantasy economics. :rotfl:

Leave are not a political party, they don't propose what they want to happen, just what could happen. It'll be up to the government of the day after a Brexit vote to decide what they would like to do with the membership fee.
I'm of the opinion it was irresponsible for the government to even allow a referendum without clearly defined options, but they did, and this is what we have.0 -

I appreciate your awesome predictive powers in the field of economics.
However, everyone elses is quite poor.
There is no credible analysis that leaving the EU would cause a recession by any credible organisation, with a track record of being right.
Examples of 'being right' would include organisations that specifically advised the UK NOT to join the Euro; organisations that DIDN'T say the post 2010 policies would lead to two dip recession etc.
On reflection and detailed analysis, I have decided to discount your unjustified ascertion about a recession even if you repeat it another few hundred times.0 -

So you admit to no risk of a recession???
You are in complete denial???
You are completely deluded???
Wow.
Did you completely miss the Recession of 2007/2008 too? Or was in on top of you before you knew what had hit you?
BY THE BY - I hope you are right. No recession - that would be BRILL. No-one in their right mind wants a recession.0 -

Why haven't you produced any evidence of this cast iron prediction of a recession?
Perhaps because it doesn't exist? The only statements on recession we've had so far is that we could end up with a technical recession which is two consecutive periods of negative growth.0 -

Brilliant. There isn't going to be a 2016 Recession. That's great news. I'm so relieved.
Happy Days!0 -

Don't twist what I said, it's quite clear I was saying the evidence for your cast iron prediction of recession does not exist.0 -

of course , two consecutive periods of house prices falls (great news for young people) could be 'technical ' recession.

OK.
So a vote for Brexit is now a very real possibility - agree??
So we must be ready for it???? - agree???
So we must at least accept the VERY REAL possibility that there could (very likely) be a recession??? Agree??0
