Re: Brexit

At a cost of £150bn?

You may be fine but for many of our poorest communities paying that for a racially pure England isn’t going to cut it.

Your calculation of 90.7% is flawed. Economic growth forecasts use the current value of 100% as a baseline. So you’d be claiming that it’d be 9% growth vs 10% growth, which isn’t the reality.

Politics is why a Conservative Party who delivered a referendum, effectively delivered Brexit, would grow about a glorious future. The good reason they don’t is that there isn’t one.

No, that’s not what I said. I’d be happy to hear economic arguments in favour of Brexit, indeed I’m sure there must be one out there? Sadly it’s drowned out by nationalism and xenophobia.
