Irony

"Deficit"
"It's"

you are welcome to your pedantry win
pat yourself on the back

of course a spelling error and being lazy on the keyboard has nothing to do with comprehension.

my spelling is terrible, being a dyslexic, I guess there is a spelling checker, but I dont know how to use it on this site......

I've read this twice and still don't get it. And I'm dead clever.

It's quite a straight forward question. After a few years of Brexit, the UK decides the eu has reformed enough to make membership worthwhile, so they apply to re join. In this case, I'm asking, would the people of the UK have another referendum on the matter (join or stay out), and if we agreed to re join, would the criteria for membership of the eu be met by the UK ( as things stand now ) ?

It would have been less confusing had you admitted to your typo and then edited/corrected it, instead of being a gobby ****.

It's not about a "win" for me, more like taking a bit of wind out of your hypocritical sails
That, and pulling your leg.

And the results are in ...

UK remains one of the most powerful countries in the world in terms of economy, influence, etc

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/power-rankings

UK economy projected to exceed those of all other EU countries

*Footnote - despite Brexit


Time for the non-believers to get on board, and climb out of the sea of misery and doom. And of course Boris does have a strategy.

How can it 'fail'?

Maybe ..
we are no more sovereign than we were before
immigration stays at same levels as before, just from different places
we're still ruled by an unelected elite, i.e. house of lords + paid advisers and experts

projected

that graph shows us at the bottom now.

Projections are great - quoted when they turn out to be true, quickly deleted and forgotten when wrong.

How else is one to forecast without projections? And as it's a projection from a credible authority, then perhaps is may carry more weight than any projections of the doomsayers of DIYnot.

 

[SirGalahad]

With the caveat.

Assuming there is an orderly Brexit at the end of the month, and a gradual transition to a new relationship with the bloc.

 

[JohnD]

a credible authority

what makes you say that?

your graph comes from the Daily Wail. So the reverse is true.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/

here's a credible authority

"The Daily Mail has been widely criticised for its unreliability, as well as printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research,[13][14][15][16][17] and for copyright violations.[18]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mail

I've even incuded a link to the actual source. Which is more than you did with your graph.

A credible authority? When did we start listening to the experts again?

Another prediction:

The graph might, but the data doesn't.

 

[SirGalahad]

Its from the IMF which Woody et al deride...

 

[JohnD]

Where is the link to the IMF source, and the explanatory text they issued?

 

[JohnD]

Did the Daily Wail admit "But IMF warns UK growth is dependent on 'gradual transition' away from EU "

and

"However, the IMF's prediction of stable economic growth for the UK is predicated on an orderly divorce from the European Union. "

Yes

Did Woody?

No.

"Boris Johnson has ruled out any extension to the transition period and believes a complete trade deal can be agreed by the end of the year.

But EU chiefs do not believe there is enough time to agree everything by December, raising the prospect of the UK and Brussels going their separate ways with only a partial agreement in place.

That could jeopardise the growth projected by the IMF.
It said in its latest report that there must be a 'gradual transition' to new trading terms in order to ensure a positive outlook."
