If it gets more companies here and more people employed, it can actually increase the amount of tax.

I would be extremely sceptical about this startup. "He also has never written a line of code, and has said he doesn't have time, but has said that he knows how to manage developers. He wants to outsource all development to India.

You want this though. For example if you was English and invested all in uk investments you would have dropped massively USD terms. If you spread your investments in many different currencies in pound terms you would have actually gained fr

The alternative is many many many people in Germany and france losing their jobs. It's just not politically allowable, not to.

"The EU would probably /need/ to be too punitive to anyone attempting to leave" - Considering merkel just ruled out being punitive in negotiations I doubt it. She has cars to sell.

Norway and Switzerland are brilliant examples of success outside of the EU. Switzerland has some of the highest quality of life you can get. They also have higher per capita gdp http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=per+

What's actually going to happen is that we leave the EU, but move to the EEA keeping trade and free movement.

Since the german prime minister has already came out and said the uk should not punished for this, probably because she has a massive incentive to sell to the uk. I don't think any spiteful deals will be made.

"Try ordering things from Amazon.com about 90% of the tangible goods do no ship to the UK and the 10% that do incur an import duty" That's not the same as having trade deals outside of the EU. Which is what were going to do.

"P.S. I wonder how everyone would react to the BrExit after Amazon cuts about 70% of the products on Amazon.co.uk and Netflix cuts all those European distribution rights show :<" This is completely silly. There many countries o

Housing market has been overheating for years. It needs to go down. I don't particularly care if it has a short term impact. Everybody knew that. I care about 10/20 years in the future. "Not to mention is that the BrExit put

No I didnt. It wasn't that long ago that it was George Osbornes goal to try to reduce gbp because of said benefits.

by UK-AL 10y ago
The gbp went down, however it started going back before the market closed. And a lower currency actually gives the economy a boost. I fully expect everything to fall again because of the drama of over weekend. That should have been complete

Not much at all economically? The media has made big deal out of it. But the ftse is still higher than 2 weeks ago. Political parties are imploding, but that's their own fault for backing one side so heavily. My worry is the political

Almost entirely anecdotal evidence. The vast majority votes came from old people. And they really do want to leave.

If brexit was a vote anti-globalism and being nationalist, then the voters are in for a big surprise. Vote leave have been explicit in about being globalist.

"strong incentives" What incentives? I only see negatives from this.

There literally hundreds of prosperous countries outside the eu, who trade with many other countries.

Both campaigns are guilty of this.

Why?, we should have our cards in order before we do so.

Then German car sales will fall, and workers will be fired?

Overall we did give more. Then receive in subsidises.

Yes, we will probably remain with the EU for long time coming. It will be a slow gradual process.

No. Generally no tarrifs benefit both. Comparative advantage and all that.
749.
by UK-AL 10y ago
That's not the point. The point is there isn't any conflict. Low tarrifs = good for both. it would be politically difficult to go against that.
