What Churchlawtonblue "thought" wasn't important. I can "think" that the sun won't rise in the morning but overwhelmingly the evidence is that it will.
"There is overwhelming or near-unanimous agreement among economists that leaving the European Union will adversely affect the British economy in the medium- and long-term.
[a][40] Surveys of economists in 2016 showed overwhelming agreement that Brexit would likely reduce the UK's real per-capita income level.
[41][31][32] 2019 and 2017 surveys of existing academic research found that the credible estimates ranged between GDP losses of 1.2–4.5% for the UK,
[40] and a cost of between 1–10% of the UK's income per capita.
[25] These estimates differ depending on whether the UK does a Hard or Soft Brexit.
[25] In January 2018, the UK government's own Brexit analysis was leaked; it showed that UK economic growth would be stunted by 2–8% for at least 15 years following Brexit, depending on the leave scenario.
[42][43]
According to most economists, EU membership has a strong positive effect on trade and, as a result, the UK's trade would be worse off if it left the EU.
[44][45][46][47] According to a study by
University of Cambridge economists, under a
hard Brexit, whereby the UK reverts to WTO rules, one-third of UK exports to the EU would be tariff-free, one-quarter would face high trade barriers and other exports risk tariffs in the range of 1–10%.
[48] A 2017 study found that "almost all UK regions are systematically more vulnerable to Brexit than regions in any other country."
[49] A 2017 study examining the economic impact of Brexit-induced reductions in migration" found that there would likely be "a significant negative impact on UK GDP
per capita (and GDP), with marginal positive impacts on wages in the low-skill service sector."
[50][25] It is unclear how changes in trade and foreign investment will interact with immigration, but these changes are likely to be important.
[25]"
And it isn't a "peurile" statement. I'm pointing out your hypocracy.
