My optimism for Brexit and reasons for supporting it are recorded at length on one of the earlier threads on this site which I have referenced to you previously so I won't drag the full essay back up on here. I understand that since the industrial revolution we have been one of the world's largest economies. In the last 40 years whilst in The EU I believe we have slipped a place or two. You believe we will slip more outside the EU, I believe that after a period of initial pain we will prosper more than when we were in it.How do you think we maintained being the 5th - 7th biggest economy in the world for so long? Do you suppose it might have had something to do with being part of the largest trading bloc in the world, aka the EU?
You're going to be choking on that humble pie when your bizarre, completely evidence-free Brexit fanntasies meet reality.
Briefly I believe that The UK will be able to make faster moving decisions, specifically suited to the needs of The UK economy unhindered by the competing 27 different factions within the EU and their differences be it economically, currency based or political. I've kept it a simple as I can, I can't be bothered to dig out the different economy stats tables that I've read as to be candid I usually find them to be skewed by whether the authors/think tanks/economists are pro Brexit or pro EU; so who do I believe. My views are admittedly therefore somewhat based on instinct and observation rather than economists or politicians views as like I say they often have an agenda either way and I do like to make up my OWN mind. I may be wrong (or right) ultimately but my opinion is based on my own intuition and positive reasons and so as far as I am concerned my single democratic vote is as valid as the next person whomever they may be. Last time I checked IQ, experience and knowledge were not a pre cursor to a democratic vote or speaking freely on an issue. I'm sure you of all people Notty wouldn't want to stifle free speech or restrict voting rights based upon any factors whether it be intelligence, religion, gender, ethnicity or anything else. If people disagree with what I say, or believe it is invalid through ignorance or inexperience they are free to debate, put forward a counter argument and reject what I say AND make up their own mind.
