UK to leave EU

[Edwardo Piet]

We will continue to trade with the EU, it is in their interests as much as ours.

1. Wouldn't our trading with the EU be more effective and influence within the EU be greater if we stayed within it? 2. Doesn't not being part of a union we are still going to be trading with decrease our freedom rather than increase it?

We have just left the EU, it didn't take Nostradamus to figure out that shares, currency and bond markets would drop dramatically. 

2. Isn't a buttload of categorically compelling evidence that that will somehow be better for us in the long-term required for that to ever be a good thing?

As I said, come back to me in.....fuck it, come back to me in one year.  The FTSE will be back up around 6,300 as it was before the referendum.

3.But where is the evidence that in a year we will be better off economically than if we stayed in the EU?

4. All things being equal isn't the evidence that our economy is worse off not just in the short-term but in the long-term?

5.A. Isn't the short-term negative effects on the economy and the predictions based on that a sign that this is going to be bad for the economy long term too? 5.B. Where is the evidence that it's going to get better? 5.C. Where is the evidence that it is going to not just get better but get better than it could have been if the economy didn't go downhill like this?

6.A. If I lose £100 and I say "Come back in two weeks and I will have £200. I'll be fine" isn't that a rather weak argument for the loss of £100 being a good thing if I give no evidence that I couldn't have £300 instead of £200 if I hadn't lost the £200? 6. B. Surely I would need some evidence that if I hadn't lost the £100 I would somehow gain far less than £200 two weeks later?
