The main rallying cry was:
o there are no down sides to leaving
o Leaving would give us 350 million pounds extra a week to improve healthcare
o We would have a strong currency
o The world would fall over it's self to give "free trade deals" to the UK
o UK tourists would be able to go to the EU without a visa
o No businesses would leave the UK to avoid trade tarrifs/customs hops
o The UK wouldn't loose service "passport rights" that allow banks, IT companies and service providers to provide services to the continent without extra taxes or hurdles
o that more good and secure jobs would be created, and globalisation would be rolled back
- matthewking 10y agoThese are all lies told by the leave campaign, not the remain campaign?
- KaiserPro 10y agoThe Leave side. The Remain camp had "project fear" which basically translated the top end of the economic consensus into tabloid.
- radarsat1 10y agoThere hasn't been enough time yet (and brexit hasn't even actually happened yet) to prove or reject a single one of those points.
- KaiserPro 10y agoYup, on most points you are indeed correct. However the 350million is almost certainly not going to happen. Mainly because even if we managed to not pay a single pound more to the EU (thats a big if) that budget would be needed for farming subsidies, science, grants and weird legislature functions currently provided by the EU I'd also wager that globalisation is not going to be rolled back, especially looking at the three pricks "running" the negotiations
- M2Ys4U 10y agoThat figure was a complete and total lie, it's beyond certain that money isn't real.
