When the young talent of a country move SO FAR away many will never return once they have immersed themselves.
There is no research I can quote but instinct tells me that is the case.

I don't think that is so gfplux. Ten pound poms went to Australia expecting to live the rest of their lives out there, yet still 25% came back.



For more transient moves, even far afield, most people I know have returned. Whether that will be the case post Brexit, who knows? But for now, people do return.

It'd be interesting to see if any stats exist.

FWIW my suspicion, and certainly what I've seen in my circle of acquaintances, is that most people who move to the USA/Can or Aus/NZ tend never to move back.

Whereas most that move to EMEA locations tend to come back eventually.

I suspect that the difference may be because it's so incredibly difficult and expensive from an eligibility and paperwork perspective to move to the likes of Aus/USA that anyone who has got through that process tends to be incredibly committed to it.

Whereas as just about anyone can move from the UK to the EU hassle free it's more viable as a temporary situation.

You appear to have put a lot of words together in the hope that it made sense.

Mrs T galvinised a generation (for example). If people aspire on a personal level then collectively the impetus will be positive across the economy.

From a source that doesn’t even appear to be able to add up correctly...

A month or two of us being outside the EU and we will see a challenge with the candidates all claiming that they’d have got a fantastic deal.

I think the now accepted standard form is to make some utterances about "the people have chosen", and call a GE; hoping that the other lot will get elected and have to mop up.

Is it significant that you haven't linked to a source?

Probably - when I quoted it the link shows it to be from the sun. So effectively the sample size is “some sun readers”...

I have just read the article and couldnt see any details of the poll so its fair to assume that it wasnt based on large numbers.

Meanwhile I have conducted a poll of my own and 100% think that Brexit is a terrible idea.

If one reads the article instead of just looking at the pictures:

"Deltapoll interviewed an online sample of 1,904 adults aged 18+ from August 14 to 16. Results have been weighted to the profile of all GB adults"
