What would a Labour+SNP+LibDem BREXIT mean for the economy?

As both you and Thrugs have said, we do indeed treat workers better here than vast sections of the globe.
A few times now I have had Filipino colleagues tell me of family and friends of theirs working in various Arab nations and in various jobs from builders to maids and nurses who are not allowed to leave unless they can find a replacement willing to do their work.
At first I thought I was being teased but I have heard this so often from so many different sources that it makes me wonder.

Back to the OP though and - my opinion only - although the polls might indeed be right or even near the mark I think they're mostly way out.
The chances of a Labour government, even a minority one are pure speculation ..................... and while I accept that I could indeed be wrong I strongly suspect that I'm not.
Here in Scotland in the real world & not that "Fish" thread fantasy-land in this forum, I can say that the Conservatives have a very realistic chance of winning maybe over half a dozen seats.
According to what I'm hearing from friends, family & "the grapevine".

I think the Tories will lose more seats than that in and around London especially if tactical voting takes off (I had a long ad on my facebook feed this morning urging not to vote Labour - funny really as before the current Tory we had a Labour MP who probably only lost because anti-iraq war labour supporters switched to the lib dems). So the question is whether the TOries can many any progress in the marginals in the midlands, Wales and the N but it seems Kippers have actually reverted back to Labour rather than following the hard Brexit path to the Tories.

Main point being even if it is only a 10% chance it is probably worth considering what it will mean, hope for the best and plan for the worst and all that. I have started a thread on the pensions board looking for suggestions on how to mitigate a Labour raid on pensions in their first budget in July.

Which will reflect the growing cultural divide as well. England will be swathes of blue dotted with islands of red.

Loads of bickering and petty arguments which prevent them getting the job done.

They are far from perfect, but we need a sole team to get this done.

The SNP are only for the separatists ..... like Hamish

[or are you an Unionist this week Hamish?]

In 2014, Hamish was a staunch unionist and anti SNP.
In 2016, Hamish was pro remain.

In 2017, Hamish wants to remain in the single market so is with Nicola Sturgeon that if that is achieved then IndyRef2 is off the table.
If it is not achievable, then Hamish sides with the party who is most likely to deliver Independence and a way back into the EU

Like others, I think a Labour government of any type following this election unlikely. The latest ComRes poll says

The lead of British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party over the opposition Labour Party was unchanged at 12 points ahead of a June 8 election

I can see a resurgent Tory lead this coming week and Labour fading. Just my opinion of course but I can feel it in my bones as they say.

And for balance, the latest Survation poll says....

The Conservatives' lead over Labour has been cut to a single point, according to one new opinion poll, amid a range of different predictions between pollsters days ahead of the general Election.

Survation for The Mail on Sunday put the two main parties virtually neck and neck, with the Tories on 40 per cent and Labour on 39 per cent.

Brussells would offer a poor deal to this coalition of naive drippy twits, knowing the deal would be rejected and we would remain.

None of these understand the benefits of Brexit, all see Britain as a weak petetioner without aces and capability.

Don't be conned by the left.

We still don't know what brexit will mean with a Conservative government at the helm before, during and after the vote. I think the OP is rather ambitious in expecting an answer.

We don't know what Brexit means full stop. No one does. Yet. Other than as stated in the original referendum voting paper: to "leave the European Union".
