So if nobody knows the true effect of leaving the EU, why vote leave? That in itself is a gamble and totally against human nature to stick with what they know.GoonerMuzz wrote:Statement of the thread there Flash!flash gunner wrote:This going to become like the religion thread
The facts are we have voted out. The remain side we not good enough in their campaign to persuade the British public. We might live to regret the decision, we might flourish outside of the E.U. no one truly knows. We can guess, we can post opinions of experts on either side but
NO ONE KNOWS
For all that leavers like me can hope things are going to be better out and those who are remainers can say it's going to be a disaster, until the details of trade agreements, international relations et al come out and people have time to divest them and not knee jerk over them nobody knows
It will be a long time before we know the true effect of Brexit, but what we know today should be cause for concern. We have already had soundbites from overseas companies and our currency which now sits at 30 year lows vs the $. A low pound equals a poorer Britain in so many ways. The stock market sitting at all time highs is irrelevant, the 10% increase in share prices since brexit has been nullified by the more than 15% drop in our currency.
The Europeans will not bow down and give us the trade deal we want, in fact they will do their best to screw us over. Already they are circling like vultures to take away our pass-porting rights for financial services. which will be a massive blow for London. And for those who don't care for London, if we have a rough time you can be sure that will be amplified across the rest of the country.
UKIP are showing themselves to be a bunch of jokers, the leadership post Farage is unstable and they are literally fighting with each other. Millions fell for their sales patter over Brexit. I wonder how long it will be before the masses realise they have been done. You couldn't make this up.
Theresa May an unelected Prime Minister is now pitching for the UKIP/Labour hardcore working class vote. She is doing her best to alienate herself from the millions that put the party in power last year. As a Conservative voter I am not impressed with her so far.
I am sure those that genuinely thought about voting leave and looked at all of the issues rather than one, are having second thoughts on whether they did the right thing. Given the uncertainty so far, I would hazard a guess that we would vote remain if the referendum happened today.
and i think the uncontrolled immigration has caused major effect of British young peoples job prospects and a quite significant drop in wages for lower paid people in general. The EU has its good points increased worker rights is a very good thing. Jeremy Corbyn an even bigger 'lefty' than me 
is massively anti EU which is why he gave such a half hearted performance in the referendum build up, personally i think to be socialist is to be anti EU but the problem is to be right wing is to be anti EU and this causes such a conflict for socialists that they put there own beliefs aside to 'fight' the enemy right wingers
