Presumably, it has escaped you that the Eurozone is faring worse than the UK's economy at present, so to think we are going to be worse off when we leave is a fallacy.

Something else that might have escaped you is that under the existing rules, the UK is under an obligation to contribute over £200bn to any future eurozone bailout in the event of a crisis. That is a matter of when, not if. Furthermore, that is only the minimum end of the scale, and that sum could increase to over £400bn.

This is not Brexit's version of Project Fear - this is truly our liability as a member of the EU, even though we are not part of the Eurozone.

When you look at all this in the round, and the stifling bureaucracy it is burdening us with, it does make one wonder if those wedded to the idea of remaining in the EU actually understand all these downsides.I'd wager that the economic forecasters haven't taken that liability into account when assessing whether we would be better or worse off after Brexit.

I really think many remainers ars just worried about their European holidays!

Labour isn't exactly faring that well in the latest polls I've seen.

Old Boy, please desist from making stuff up. The UK won't be liable for any future Eurozone bailout.
