Re: Post-Brexit Thread

For those interested in how scrapping EU tariffs in the event of a hard Brexit could affect the prices of goods there's a useful guide here of EU tariff levels.

For example the EU puts 35% on all imported wine from outside the EU so while leaving might make French wine more exepensive, American and new world wines are likely to face smaller or zero tariff in the UK as we don't need to keep an indigineous industry happy. Same applies to shoes and textiles. The EU applies levels upto 100% on some goods.

If we scrapped many of the tariffs much of our imported foodstuffs that we cannot grow here will become cheaper.
