If we vote for Brexit what happens

Shakethedisease

Norway will refuse to negotiate any separate trade deals with the UK until the British government agrees the terms of how it will withdraw from the European Union, the country’s prime minister has said. Prime Minister Erna Solberg stated there “won’t be any bilateral agreements between Norway and Britain before a solution is in place with the EU”.

Last week Solberg said she was not yet sure whether it would be “good for Norway” for Britain to gain membership of EFTA. Countries currently in EFTA have a small combined population of 14 million, compared with Britain’s own 65 million, causing inevitable issues with a potential membership application.
Norway's industry ministry Monica Maeland says it’s far from a clear-cut case that Norway should welcome the UK into EFTA.

Whoa, reading a lot into that comment.

I am aware that uncertainty is bad for business. The point I'm making (or trying to make) is that it is the uncertainty only, since we may end up with single market membership in which case for business nothing changes from how it is now/was before the vote. I guess I thought that went without saying, or am I giving readers too much credit?

What you don't understand is that during this long period of uncertainty business will not stand still. Decisions will be made action will be taken so that at the end of it things will not be the same.

Granted, I think that would be described as the 'hit' the leavers generally accept would happen, well I did at least.

Deflation and Recession by 2018

Anyone here care to explain the benefits of the SM in very accurate terms, not in grandiose abstraction?

Tell me how for example Japan is hampered by not being in the SM with regards its exports into the EU.

It will be a time of high unemployment and reduction in the prices within the economy including our dear property prices.
