Can't argue with that. What impact do you think Britain leaving will have on the other EU country economies? I can't see them being in a position to prop up Greece and others, I just don't think they're that strong do you?

Too early to tell what effect it will have. Whether the rest of the EU can prop up Greece or not depends on Spanish and Irish recoveries and even more so on how the Italians get on over the next few years, the overall impact will depend on what sort of deal the UK manage to get and how the UK manage over the next decade to decade and a half. I don't really see it having a big effect on Ireland as I reckon the EU won't get in the way of Anglo-Irish relations going forward (special political circumstances). Overall I don't see it as being a good thing for either party involved, although I think the EU will cope better of the two. A lot depends on Italy atm to be fair.

Agree with your point about being too early to tell, but it is no earlier for the predictions about the UK economy which may or may not be correct/accurate. However, surely there would have been an impact assessment on the EU economy (another forecast/prediction if you like) should the forecast for the British economy be correct? Basics really!

It would be interesting to learn what those assesments delivered, all in the name of fairness and balance of course. Again I predict it won't be a pretty picture.

The potential impact on the British economy has been widely researched by the Government and the Remain campaigners and heavily reported by the media here.

Is anyone aware of what the repercussions would be on the rest of Europe and their oen economies if we were to leave? Is there a likelihood that they would struggle and possibly collapse which would in effect make the British economy much stronger? I am not certain but it would not suprise me to learn that any negative assumptions around the rest of Europe had not been applied around the eventuality of Britain leaving the EU. The impression I get is that these figures and consequences all assume there will be no change in Europe.... which surely everyone would agree is not going to happen.

Don't forget we are the fifth strongest economy in the world and only behind Germany in Europe.I believe our leaving Europe would deliver a massive blow and severe collateral damage to Europe which it would struggle to recover from, probably much more than we would.

If we leave we are screwed, and they are screwed, and us being screwed makes them more screwed, and them being screwed makes us more screwed, which then screwed up the rest of the world which then screws us even more

Still at least we are screwed with less Romanians in the countryand Boris as prime minister will be such a giggle, I'm laughing already at the countless amusing things he will get to say to his subjects
 
We simply have to leave. Even if the economy suffers for a few years. Small price to pay for getting some control over our borders. Nothing racist in that. We simply have a huge huge housing and infrastructure issue.

So.....if we vote out we will be entirely responsible for the entire world plummeting into a dark age of poverty and war? I never realised we were so important.

Until Kim jong un joins Cameron and Obanma and tells us to stay because if we vote leave he will have to build some more atom bombs I am afraid I am not having it.....I,m out!

I'm 31 and will be voting leave.

Is it possible to ask what is it about the EU you are not in favour of?

It'd be interesting to hear the opinions of someone your age given that rhetoric about all under 24's being in favour of the EU.

Sorry, I should have stipulated, sensible replies only please.

Is it so unreasonable to ask for the complete picture to be painted in any given scenario in order that a full holistic (Pelegrini fans please note) view can be taken? You never know it could possibly work in Remain campaigns favour could it not?

Your theory that an implosion in Europe could benefit the UK shows such a lack of basic economics it is impossible to think of you as anything other than a simpleton, sorry

I suggest your next post is simply your age and 'i am voting leave' as appears to be the current trend in these parts

Sleep well bj

Rubbish, don't know one friend of mine that's voting in. I'm much more into politics than my other friends but their main concern is immigration by far, my concern is just being a member of the EU I cannot stand it, the U.K. Can do better out and is more than strong enough to stand on its own, the county cannot take current immigration levels, we should make ALL of our own laws, and we should spend some of the EU membership money on more

No theory here, just an observation about a possibility based on the lack of information provided so no apology necessary.

You do say some very silly things, you devalue your contributions with every post you make. I suggest you go learn about comprehension!

Make sure they vote mate. I know plenty of people who have an opinion on the referendum but I know that a lot of them won't bother voting.

Every vote counts, so try and encourage them to sign up for the postal vote if they're the half arsed type that won't go to the polls.

It's a piece of piss. You print out a form from a gov website, write down your address and DoB, sign it, and post it off to your local electoral office.

Then come close to the election you'll receive your ballot in the post, you tick your box, you post it, and job done.

I am making the assumption you are a labour voter, apologies for the assumption but just based from the content of your messages, if so, are you concerned labour's stance on this will lead to a similar situation as what happened in Scotland with people moving to the SNP after the Indy referendum moving to ukip after a remain vote?

No.
