If we vote for Brexit what happens

Obv. And now they'll just bank the unused land. Hope it's not too much of an eyesore.
The over optimistic approach to value seems to go all the way down the food chain?

there is massively lower probability of Japan or other countries withdrawing from the UK because of brexit than the possibility of overseas companies withdrawing from scotland after iscotland.0 -
Investment into the UK remains very strong, the Germans still want a piece of our Stock Market, lots of big foreign companies are expanding here. They know in thier heart of hearts it is in everyone's interests trade is not disrupted, the Japs merely express this will. Far more opportunities than downside risk now.0

There's a big difference between relocating a HQ function that has maybe 50 people in an office in London, and relocating factories where tens of thousands are employed. The 'threat' is solely the former not the latter but the news article spins it as the latter. Project Fear still lives.
Expect numerous pronouncements like this (many with a much more negative spin than is justified by the intent of the originator) over the next two years, as countries jockey to improve their bargaining positions ahead of agreement, and as PF proponents continue to peddle their "told you so" position.0 -

More tangibly, the Germans/Italians/French will still want to sell to us.
Everyone's talking as if it's a one-way street and the UK is holding out a begging bowl!0 -
Well Theresa May has rejected the idea of a point based system for EU immigration yesterday.
And is now exploring both permit based and EU 'free movement light' with an emergency brake.
In the meantime, the govt has also rejected the idea of spending £350m a week on the NHS, has rejected the idea of a fuel tax cut, and has been warned by Japan and the US that most of their businesses here require full single market access if they're to stay here and not move to the EU, perhaps not immediately but certainly in the next investment cycle.
Oh.... And David Davies has said we need to keep as much single market access as we can, while Boris has been in Poland extending the welcome mat for future Polish migrants.
And of course the wonderful world of twitter has been pointing out the last Conservative Party manifesto promised both a referendum on EU membership and also a commitment to stay in the single market.
So the Tories have the 'get-out' clause they're looking for if they negotiate a sensible deal to stay in the single market after all.
The Brexiteers don't appear to be getting much of anything they actually thought they were voting for....“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

seems like the people who wanted us to join to EURO, those that are terrified of trading with anyone other than white christian european countries, those that don't care about the living standards of ordinary UK based people, those indifferent to the dusaster that the EU has been to many of the EU people, seem to be fighting back to reaffirm their protectionist, inward looking ever closer union.0 -

I am. If that is indeed the case I'm getting exactly what I wanted!
Fantastic!0
