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.
Well, quite apart from increased trade with the rest of the world, we will be free to bring in cheaper goods that haven't been the subject of EU tariffs designed to protect their own markets. That will also help the less well off in society. I bet that wasn't included in any economic forecasts!
