Okey dokey, here we go…..!!!
In light that no Brexiteer has yet to support their conviction, in belief of Brexit, herewith my account as to why we should remain.
Firstly, sorry to Javil but this thread is not a political statement at all, it’s about the economic future for the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.
Secondly, angeleyes1, great post on 01 Jan, still working thu’ the philosophical statements and thanks for the detailed information in your post.
For 43 years Europe has had political stability, longer than ever in European history.
The UK has thrived economically because of free trade and free movement of labour.
International manufacturing, since we joined the EU, has been immense.
Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Airbus and so many others These companies invested their wealth in supporting British workers as a stepping stone into Europe at a time when UK industry was at an all time low. If we leave EU huge amounts of people will lose their jobs and the UK economy will tank Let alone the 400,000 UK small businesses’ dependent on European trade. What would be the effect the ”just in time” supplies chains for our food industry, automotive, pharmaceutical companies. Let alone UK driven projects such as Galilaeae, European Security, Euro Atom etc.
Our financial service industry is of global excellence, it accounts for 80% of the UK’s foreign revenue – this will disappear when we leave.
The UK’s NHS, healthcare, agriculture and service industries will be decimated by our proposed foreign policy towards EU citizens due to the rejection of European workers.
Loss of freedom of movement will isolate the UK in terms of transfers of skills for employment and tourism. Who really wants to have to apply for a 180 day visa (cost Euro 65) when it can be only used twice a year, an international driving licence, loss of the EUHI health card, loss of reciprocal UK insurance benefits in the EU, restricted bank access to UK banks, pensions etc.
And, what about the future the 3million or so people who have located to the UK, set up families, businesses, pay their taxes and make a huge contribution to the UK economy. And those from the UK who have moved to Europe and could lose their livelihoods, split families and end up back in the UK as a burden to the state?
Then there is the UK’s trade policy:
For two and a half years we have had a Brexit Minister, Foreign Secretary, International Trade Secretary and Prime Minister trolling the globe to get the best trade deals. To date, with 80 or so odd days to go before we fall off the cliff, absolutely nothing is on the table.
Maybe I’ve got this all wrong. For the fifth time on this thread, would a Brexiteer kindly convince me that I am wrong.In light that no Brexiteer has yet to support their conviction, in belief of Brexit, herewith my account as to why we should remain.
