If we vote for Brexit what happens

Im very much on the fence on this one, but just curious, why do crashers associate lower sales volume with falling prices?
Was there a collapse in sale volumes prior to the 2009 crash?
I thought in the demand and supply equation, if supply goes down, then prices go up? So why is a fall in sales volume considered to mean lower prices? I don't get it.0 -

Apart from the UK, only 3 countries in the Commonwealth with any economical clout. Canada, Australia and India.
Exports to these 3 combined (2010 figures) were smaller than our exports to.....Belgium.
Really Conrad, you should stick to flogging dodgy mortgages instead of seeking a career as motivational speaker. You do make me laugh though.

No reason to think May has any real power, she'll just be steering a course between backroom Tory Bremainer lobbyists and public image. Unless UKIP do it all again and prod the public + a small bunch of Tory rebel MPs to launch us into an early general election whose main theme will be: Brexit for real this time.no reason to think that Juncher has any real power
stanz of the Eu will be decided by Germany, France and to a lesser extend the other 250 -

Why are you bothered about sovereignty then, if you're happy for the UK to be subject to EU law without having any influence over lawmaking?
Do you want to be part of the USA so we have influence over their lawmaking?
You don't have to have influence over the laws of a nation or group of nations in order to trade with them. You must know that within the EU all aspects of EU regulation must be adhered to. Outside it, in the EEA/EFTA area only parts must be followed because you're selling into the single market.
There is no political union.
There is no fiscal union.
There is only trade.0 -

About 4% of UK firms trade into the EU. As with Samsung or Apple they will conform to trading standards, why on earth you want the entire UK to be subject to EU rules and, ahem, leadership is quite beyond me0 -

See, you're doing it again, thinking in a clumsy paint by number fashion. Our new found Commonwealth synergy is about far more than just exports, although it's nice to know we'll be making our own trading arrangements with fast growing parts of the world.
We will still sell into Belgium btw, don't panic my dear, enjoy a nice English ale and ponder our glistening future0 -

I bought my first home 3 years ago. Sold it earlier this year for a substantial profit and now am in the process of buying my new home which I absolutely love with a mortgage that is A LOT less than my original one. Thanks to that purchase 3 years ago my life is good and I'm financially comfortable. Thank god I didn't take any notice of people on here that told me a crash was about to happen back then :beer:0
