Plenty of economists and organisations have said the opposite as well. http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri...-idUKKCN0XA17D
Polling suggests that the public currently believe it's risk too: http://www.itv.com/news/2016-04-20/i...eu-referendum/
I am not saying this can't be turned around by Leave but it's simply wrong to suggest that if this were decided on the economy that it's a slam dunk for Leave. I am curious as to why you think Remain even stand a chance if you believe this to be the case because I can't see what else they have. |
I would suggest that all the economists and organisations you speak of try to see things from the point of view of the ordinary bloke in the street, who ,for the past 5 yrs or so have been bombarded by news items that we are giving billions to such and such bank because the EU says we must or billions in aid to other countries because the EU says we must ,or allowing thousands upon thousands of migrants into the country because the EU says we must and meanwhile the ordinary bloke in the street can't get a appointment at his doctors for a week or his dole has been cut because of cut backs so we can give the billions to a foreign bank .
The hardest task for the leave campaign is not convincing the ordinary bloke in the street that trade deals won't suffer or financial chaos won't ensue if we leave, it will be convincing them to vote because if they do that then it will be a landslide victory for the leave campaign
