Are you concerned about the economic impact of Brexit?1. You are completely wrong about "usually vetoed". We have led the EU creating many of the laws and policies (see for instance http://theconversation.com/fact-check-does-britain-get-its-way-at-the-european-top-table-58610 2. I currently have the right to live and work in the EU. I have the right to travel unfetted across EU boundaries, to use health care under the reciprical agreement, and claim benefits where appropriate. Non of these or other benefits are guaranteed in the future and are very much in doubt. 3. In my view, all the evidence points to a loss of considerable advantages of membership, which is why all the other states are in the EU and not one has left. The scenario as with the 1960's and 1970's points to 40-50 years of relative decline as they get richer and we stagnate. You cannot leave a 500million wealthy free trade market and replace it by an already exploited larger but poorer complex market with hundreds of different tarde deals overnight.ViewDate:

Are you concerned about the economic impact of Brexit?You do not seem to have read the treasury report which created several scenarios and has been seen to be broadly correct even though Brexit has not yet happened and we are still operating within the EU. Neither do you seem to know of the CBI views, the views of the automobile manufacturing companies, japanese industries who are here because of access to the EU and incentives. Most UK industry has no contact with the EU and being out will for those that do will mean they will have to continue to meet EU requitrements, but have no say in what they areViewDate:

Are you concerned about the economic impact of Brexit?It is not number that matters is it? It is purchasing power and access. The rich and the market live in Europe, close to us. We could and do trade with the rest, as does the rest of the world, already.ViewDate:

Are you concerned about the economic impact of Brexit?There are no long terms gains of walking away from the market for 50% of your exports. The EU is the richest single market in the world and their growth rate is now faster than the UK'sViewDate:

Are you concerned about the economic impact of Brexit?all the experts have been proved correct - we have not left the EU yet but the pound has dropped in value, companies have begun to move to Europe and have stopped plans to invest. WE now face labour shortages. Two years of detailed planning and 40 years of working on it and there is still no detail about what it means just fantasy about what we would like to happen. you have been lied to
