I haven't lived in the UK for 7 years and have probably been in 70% of the countries in Europe and I want to leave the EU because the EU is not Europe. :colbert:

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Let me lay some truth on you fine folks. Any union is doomed to fail without a political union. The European Union cannot work unless the individual countries give up their sovereignty to a central government. Because people are racist and tribal this can usually only be done by force.

2. Britain lost WW2. The only winners were USA and USSR. Britain will never again be a relevant power and needs to accept this.

There is only one solution. The US, Britain, Canada, Australia and NZ join into an Anglo Union with a common currency and Washington in charge, with regional governors in London, Toronto, etc. Buy out the local elites like the royal family, and divide up the other English speaking countries into new American states. The population will bitch, but being dominated by white english speakers in Washington will be more acceptable then dealing with the Germans, French, Turks, Poles, etc. From there a United America can conquer the earth. It's the only path to a glorious one world government.

Finally, a voice of reason.

The greasy alcoholics of the Damp isles will soon learn that the outcome doesn't even matter. Vote remain and they'll have submit to the will of the EU, vote leave and they'll have to do what the EU says anyway cause there's no one else around. Sovereignty was lost long before the EU even existed. Should've maintained your grip on the world when you still had it. Maybe do better in the next world war if you want the freedom to dictate the curvature of your cucumbers.

lol at Brits whining about $250m/week which amounts to $13 billion. You're going to completely crater your economy and gently caress your poo poo up to save $13 billion and you're going to end up losing waaaaaay more than that in tax revenue losses.

No retard the $350m doesn't include EU rebates so divide $13 billion (easily referenced actual payment made by the UK) by 52 weeks and what do you get?

quote:

It’s also been claimed that we send £350 million a week to the EU. That also misses out the rebate, although is based on better figures for the UK’s contributions.

£350 million is what we would pay to the EU budget, without the rebate.

But the UK actually pays just under £250 million a week.

The UK Statistics Authority has said the EU membership fee figure of £19 billion a year, or £350 million a week, is "not an amount of money that the UK pays to the EU each year".

It wouldn't surprise me if there were more pro "bremain" economists, but then again the EU is a neoliberal candyland so I'm not surprised it's loving awesome for "finance persons", it just kinda sucks for poor people.

Or maybe it doesn't, who the gently caress knows. Economics is even less of an absolute science than weather forecasting.

Do you have a link that doesn't require me to sign in? Just from the first paragraph it has "8 economists for Brexit" and alright 8 dudes I've never heard of versus literal billionaires and hedge fund managers and famous economists all telling the UK they're going to gently caress their poo poo up.

The EU is def a neoliberal candy land keep telling yourself that as the UK government dismantles all your social programs in the name of austerity.

It's fearmongering based on the goofy idea that the whole world is going to shun the UK and refuse to trade with them if they don't toe the line, which is based on threats from the usual obamas and the EU obamas.

just like with voting for Trump: when you get an opportunity to do something that makes all of the elites, the 1%, and the entire media unanimously poo poo their pants you should definitely do it without hesitation because it's probably something good

vote Brexit (it's non-binding so the government is just going to go "lol nope" if the leave vote wins anyway)
