    I am now wondering if the merry Brexiteers on here are trying to convince themselves.
    'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher

    Brexit examined, analysed, defended, and contended for.

    A preliminary: rectifying the WTO schedules

    Clarity once more;


    We were asked to vote to remain or leave. We voted to leave the EU. The Vote Leave campaign made clear that meant taking back control of our laws, our borders and our money.
    Polling after the event shows starkly that Leave voters mainly voted to take back control of migration, law, trade and money. It also shows that very few Remain voters (about 10% of total voters) bought into the idea of European Union and wantedfurther integration along continental lines. ( Michael Ashcroft post votepolls)

    The PM has already rightly ruled out the Norwegian and Swiss options, and ruled out staying in the EEA. We leave what the EU regards as the single market as this is fully integrated with the EU as a whole and includes freedom of movement and financial contributions to the budgets.

    The main issue we need to sort out with the rest of the EU is access to the single market. All non EU member states have access to the single market. The rest of the EU has to make a simple choice. Do they want to retain tariff free access to the UK market or not? If not, then their access and our access will be under MFN WTO rules, which allows an average tariff of 3.5%. That leaves us 6.5% more competitive, and them 13.5% less competitive after the devaluation of the pound against the Euro.

    None of this need take a long time to settle, nor does it require a complex negotiation. It is a simple choice. Carry on tariff free as at present, or revert to the WTO ready made schedules.
    We do not negotiate taking back control – that is a contradiction in terms.

    I like the WTO idea for it's sheer clarity and the way it removes all excuses for prevarication and time-wasting by EU and UK bureaucrats alike. That's probably why our Civil Service will oppose the simplicity of WTO as they like to justify keeping busy at the taxpayers expense.

    With WTO terms for the UK, Europe will have a hot competitor - in some sectors - on its doorstep. I can see a lot of backdoor protectionism happening and I wonder how hard the Eurocrats won't try to clamp down on it. Tradingwise The EU could turn into a China - open in some sectors on paper but not in reality.

    It doesn`t matter how much you ask for exact predictions, the banking system that supplies the credit that dictates house prices is still in a mess.

    You know you are quoting Alex Jones' website? I guess it must be a site that reflects your interests and opinions.

    I wasn't being entirely serious, hence the :rotfl: ... but I suppose humour is another concept you sruggle to grasp.

    Please can you provide illustrations of other areas of the "general" uk economy that have been boosted and benefited so massively and obviously as house prices have as a result of those particular three "general" economic measures.

    I eagerly await your reply....
