How much of that is due to the UK leaving?
- bryanrasmussen 3y agoseems unlikely to be a significant amount - given https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/germany/uk https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/germany/uk on edit: actually thinking about it, since Germany is about 21% of economy and England is slightly under Germany I guess England could be responsible for a significant amount of that loss - assuming significance is more than 15% of the loss.
- kmlx 3y agoyes, it was a big amount, and it affected all the stats.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoThe stats were poor (behind the US) even before Brexit
- kmlx 3y agoyup, agree. and the stats are still poor. i don’t see any solution to this problem, and it doesn’t seem like the politicians and/or the public care.
- csomar 3y agoThe UK leaving the EU is seen as a UK failure (because brexit affected the UK much); but them leaving the EU is a EU failure because one of the members of the union has left. People underestimate this fact a lot.
- Hamuko 3y agoHow would have the EU prevented this when the Leave camp was fueled by lies, such as the famous NHS budget bus and all the various Euromyths that the UK press liked to conjure? It's not like people didn't try debunking them.
- kmlx 3y agoi remember someone from the EU saying something like: they did not do anything to campaign for the continuation of membership.
