They are not doomed: the argument is that they would be better off in the EU. And that Britain would be worse off outside. Not that it would be a poor country; it would still be one of the richest countries on Earth. Just a bit poorer.
That is the theory; we'll see what happens.
- pandama 10y agoNo we won't. We can't see both sides of the comparison in this ethereal plane.
- gonvaled 10y agoThat applies to each and every decission. If we accept this argument, policy discussions are meaningless. Let's be less theoretical: if Britain does much better than the EU it could be due to: 1) EU was bad for UK 2) The UK is abusing its new position (tax heaven, ...) 3) ?? If the UK does much worse than EU, this means: 1) EU was good for UK 2) EU is bullying UK 3) ?? So we'll be able to see what is happening.
