Latest news makes it sound like the UK is likely to Bremain. Thanks for not destroying the world economy. Eh, in all due fairness, world economy can take this. It'd be a minor recession for the EU and only a miniscule dip on the global scale. And even the EU would quickly get out of the recession as soon as local assets are reorganized. Economically, the UK stands to lose by far the most, with one of its biggest economy strenght (the international banking) being unlikely to remain staying in a location economically isolated from their biggest trade partners in the EU. London might become for international banking what Detroit was for the automotive industry if things turn towards the sour end of possibilities. I suppose Frankfurt might actually be secretly hoping for the UK to leave as they'd replace London as captital capitol practically overnight. Other trade can be procured elsewhere since the EU doesn't in fact import that much from the UK, but the UK being an island nation, well ... Not everything is money. And no, economy doesn't disappear by exiting EU. Pacts and deals will be signed again with no European Leash on your neck. And the world is bigger than Europe tbh. Aye, pacts signed between a single island nation and a huge multi-national entity. Guess who'll get the better deal ... The simple matter of fact is that leaving the EU is by no means the miracle solution to all the UK problems (most of which are entirely homebred I might add) and comes with a looong list of things that can go wrong. The UK won't sink into the sea, nor will its economy spontanously combust, but it's certain that the UK will have a tough time ahead and the problems the UK has that contrary to popular belief won't simply *poof* out of existence upon leaving the EU will continue to add to that. The EU isn't like it could be, arguably not as it should be, but it's more than a single nation could hope to match up with and if the UK thinks they can just leave and expect to just renegotiate trade deals and get better deals, they are simply delusional. The ONLY thing a EU exit will immediately change is the UK's immigration control, i.e.: no more refugees to take in as per EU quotas. But that's one of the smaller problems the UK has ... nevermind of the problems the UK will have when they leave. But eh, what do I care much. I'm not in the UK and by all means, if they want to leave and things go down the drain, I'll watch with an 'told you so' expression on my face. The only thing I stand to lose is cheap imports from amazon.co.uk. Let's how big the tariff is going to be on books  |
