Think of it like this. If I lost a ten dollar bill...-if- I then worked my ass off to make ten more dollars......I'm still exactly half as rich as I would have been. I haven't gotten anything back. It's gross neutral and a net loss. The "wait and see" camp is banking on the if, not realizing that the if is irrelevant. How was that -if- supposed to happen in the first place? Better trade deals? Not going to happen, and that's no secret.
Perhaps this is what Tibs was referring to when he mentioned that a referendum wasn't a suitable tool for deciding on such matters?
You are just so, so wrong. I've set a reminder on my phone for this post. I'll be coming back to it in a year's time and we can pick up on who was right.
Until then, ciao, I'm out celebrating the UK's independence!
