Brexit
FJ1000:
Most of the EU's economic troubles come from the Euro. For example, Greece would have been much better off if they could have devalued their currency, but wasn't an option. Incidentally it is the Southern European states that have dragged down overall GDP, but plenty of countries in the EU are growing. Overall EU growth is about 2%, and unemployment has come down to about 8% (from 11% mid 2013).
Make no mistake though, membership of the EU is a net positive to the UK economy, and we're never joining the euro.
I went to a presentation at Bloomberg and their economist estimated that membership of the EU added around 10% to UK trade income.
Final point for now; the EU is in some ways more democratic than the UK parliament. House of Lords anyone? See the vid I posted earlier.
Good to see markets a bit more stable today.

theres a potential 2.2billion customers in the world market compared to the 500million in the EU.
The EU is the only market to not have regained it GDP since 2007-2008 recession. While America has grown it's GDP and increased its national wealth by 10% . Where getting out just at the right time, hells sure if we weren't already In. We wouldn't be looking to join the EU .

Very interesting about the GDP that, was not aware of those figures. I knew that others were doing better but didn't realise it was that much.
Also the point about not joining I found a very good one when I first heard it, no way we'd jump into that sh*t show now so why shouldn't we leave it.

^ wow
It's nice to be given a balanced view. I thought the rest of Europe hated us.
Dooes this mean we're gonna be going to war with Europe (&Russia) in the future?
Say once we've left them alone to "govern" themselves for 10 years.
So are we all coming to terms with life after eu and how we will survive
Is anyone else not worried about leaving the eu alone with Russia?
