They aren't able to make a plan as they aren't in government. If you're very interested, UKIP's manifesto at the last GE was an independently costed view of what we could do outside the EU.
Anyway, leaving Pam's pussy to one side, I'm just reading the so-called Five Presidents' Report put out last year by the EU. It's not actually called The Five Presidents' Report but its real title is
"Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union". The authors were Jean Claude Juncker with Mario Draghi, Donald Tusk, Jeroen Dijsselbloem and Martin Schulz. They are the presidents of the main EU bodies, hence the "Five Presidents".
It can be found at: https://ec.europa.eu/priorities/sites/beta-political/files/5-presidents-report_en.pdf
Here's the opening paragraph in the introduction:
In other words, they want a single monetary and fiscal policy across the EU.
First couple of sentences in Part 1 (try not to laugh too much when you read it): Yes - they really said that.
And there's more:
And what are these further steps?
There's plenty more like this and it all sounds very reasonable and democratic but the meaning is quite clear. We will make the important decisions and tell you about them afterwards. But occasionally the mask slips a bit. Like here, for example:
Let me put that into English - we'll take the big economic decisions and we'll tell you how much we need you to raise in tax and give to us the we'll give you your spending money. How you raise it and spend it is up to you however, as long as you raise what we need and don't spend more than we allow you to. And that's going to be completed in the next ten years.
So if you vote Remain on Thursday, be very clear what you're voting for.
silver bullet, whooooooosh!But just repeating an advertising slogan and saying this and that will get better is bollocks - I'd like to think that in the event of a win on Thursday then of Friday morning they would know what they were doing - not sitting down and saying " Oh fuck we actually won what do we do now.... "
Yeah, one thing for sure the country will go through a turbulence few years but we will come through it as a stronger country because history shows that.
Wrong. What even the Remain campaign are saying is that if we leave, there will still be growth but we won't grow as quickly as we would if we stayed in.Recession. We WILL make all the economic decisions and decide what we are to spend the money on - its just there will be a lot less of it. Even the Leave campaign admits that.
Rubbish. Some of them are part of the government for a start. Second this isn't an election its a referendum so that shouldn't matter - Boris tells us he's not after Daves job he just wants a Brexit. Well I'd expect any competent politician to have planned what to do in the event of a win.
The Civil Service will have prepared a plan for both eventualities as soon as the referendum was promised.Boris can't outline his plan for what to do in the event of a Leave vote because, as it stands, he won't be in a position to enact that plan, which is exactly what you've said there.
I'd also expect any competent government to have a contingency plan in case they lose the referendum and frankly, Cameron and Osbourne's suggestion that they will raise taxes by 2p and further slash spending is absolutely ludicrous.

If I was on the fence that would defo push me in to the out campFuck me, now Beckham and his fucking wife saying 'Remain'. Oh my life.
