Our findings indicate that there are no winners from Brexit, but only losers. Both parties involved would suffer substantial losses if denied free trade access to each other's market. However, while the current belief surrounding Brexit is that especially the UK has a great deal to lose, our sector-level input-output approach clearly shows that the EU-27 also stands to lose substantially and considerably more than previously thought. The reason is that EU-27 production networks are closely integrated, which implies that tariff changes with the UK do not just affect direct trade bilateral flows but also indirect trade flows via third countries. These indirect effects are estimated to be very important (typically amounting to ca. one third of the direct effects), which substantially reinforces the trade destruction effects of Brexit.
yes, I see the trend you faintly allude to.
Another day, another study that says we will be worse off after Brexit:

And yet our Brexit minister (Davis) has no contingency plan if it turned out that the whole thing would be a disaster. There is nothing in the plan for withdrawing A50, even though we are going to be worse off, its just a matter of by how much. There is nothing there that says something to the effect that "if its bad by X much, we should withdraw A50". Utter madness.
So not the 'majority' you alluded to, just 2 or 3%
A brilliant philosophy.There are those of us who just don't care whether we are worse off afterwards or not....... we just want out and no amount of studies, supposition, or guess work is going to change that. There doesn't need to be a contingency plan for if it looks as "if its bad by X much" ...... just get on with it.
Thank you, I like it.A brilliant philosophy.
Probably... the result would have been much clearer cut then.Should there be an intelligence test for being allowed to vote?
That was lauded as an indisputable mandate in the referendum.
So you don't care about the country going down the pan. Your view is based entirely upon an ideological falsehood.There are those of us who just don't care whether we are worse off afterwards or not....... we just want out and no amount of studies, supposition, or guess work is going to change that. There doesn't need to be a contingency plan for if it looks as "if its bad by X much" ...... just get on with it.
That is also supposed to be the primary objective of M.P.'s. Disgracefully lacking.We owe it to our kids' future to do what's best for our country, and not what we feel.
