    No idea what you are trying to say: I was just saying what 100% of economists would say about the effect of a currency devaluing.

    You were saying that because you and I both know the additional uncertainty of the next few years will increase the time between a devaluation and inward investment.

    Let's say I'm right and there's more losers than winners (financially) - a price worth paying for democracy and the potential for less immigrants?

    Wow. As someone else said if calling a racist a racist is worth a warning while bring racist isn't I don't want to be here anyway.

    Maybe it's just me but this place has gone downhill since Britain first joined?

    Its a forum where 80% of the users are Daily Mail readers. I guess its what we can expect.

    I'm one of the very few people on the internet who have ever been wrong about anything. If I'm wrong and there are more winners than losers I'll admit it.

    What if I'm right? A price worth paying for a few less foreigners?

    as a racist I would say yes its a price worth paying.
    if you are right ill admit it.
    Happy now?

    whatever the outcome less immigration is still a win for me and all the other majority of racists.

    That's an attempt at a clever answer but looks a bit clumsy. If you don't want to answer the question just say so.

    what do you expect me to say.

    If years down the line you are correct I will say my decision was wrong to leave.
    Your forgetting me and the majority voted leave in certain peoples eyes to stop immigration.
    That in a racist eyes is still a win or the right vote as immigration will have reduced.

    Is that simple enough for you.

    Whether there is, on aggregate, a financial advantage or disadvantge of brexit is unknown, but certainty worth the modest risk for increase in democratic accountability.
    As you probably already know, I don't believe that GDP is the sole and only criteria for determining the quality of life of the people of a country.

    And in any event, I am doubtful of the benefit of much of the inward 'investment' to our country: basically like a Blair/Brown PFI deal ; yes it gives us a financial boost today but, we and our chidren, pay for it for the next 50 years.
