As to your "chopping hands off" analogy, that is ridiculous. You too are implicitly hypothesizing that peeling away from the Internal Market leaves us unable to develop our economy. Nah.


With regard to your best to remain sentence, as I've said before, economic growth isn't the be-all and end-all of benefit. We voted leave so that we take control of our destiny. Growth may fall but the forecasts (such as they are) don't forecast negative GDP, only lower GDP. No deal (or EEA) is a price well worth paying to get away from German hegemony, French control of the discredited CAP, the Spanish veto over Gibraltar & fisheries, the perfidious Irish government, etc.

Why would you want to have anything to do with those nasties?

If that it not what you meant then this post is a total waste of words, which wouldn’t be the first time, granted.

That’s a new one, surely everybody interprets others posts subjectively. Are you suggesting I should generally interpret your posts?



The point being that even after a general election there is a 5yr term to implement the result.

As the result of the referendum has not even been implemented yet, do you think we could be afforded the courtesy of seeing the result carried out before we vote again?
No. I don’t think we should be afforded that courtesy without the question being asked again due to more information being available.
