No actually hard export benefits and not the illusory benefits of membership based on the economic nuthouse model with SM FOM. The EU was always a political destination that no one one voted for. You can see here that since 2006 U.K. exports to the EU as a percentage of total trade has been declining since then . From 54% of total to closer to 40 now. Meanwhile export of services to the EU have shifted to a £42 billion surplus . It’s interesting that services have never been governed by the EU and isn’t under the TCA either. Meanwhile in cash terms to the rest of the world in the same period as above they have doubled. The EU was simply a declining market of importance to the U.K. researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7851/CBP-7851.pdf

Ye, brits aren't too bright.

This is all true, but the Uk also suffers from a very biased press which not only pushed for the tories but also attacked the eu with dubious claims. The government also tended to gold plate eu regulations and then blame the eu for it (for an example, look at how the Uk implemented its version of the motorcycle test) . And unlike mainland Europe it was pretty rare to see any investment being explicitly stated as supported by the eu. The Uk electoral system is also archaic leading to an effective 2 party system. Many of us land up being pushed into voting against a party by picking the party most likely to defeat the most unpleasant viable option rather than actually voting for the party we agree with most.

I've read two blistering commentaries that have summed up so much of the social and economic upheaval of a UK that I have lived in since I was a child in 1979 watching the election day results on the BBC, that brought in Mrs Thatchers government into office. Her conversion into neo-liberalism and the explosion of disruptive policies that ensued was supposed to usher in something new a radical departure from the post war Keynesian economic consensus of the past now seem dystopian to me. We were as a country then politically bankrupt, left facing an uncertain economic future like we are today.

Good post.

@@pincermovement72 The archetipal "Polish plumber" kept prices artificially low for the middle classes and the 'aspirational' Tory voters, for example. Whether it was a price worth paying, different question.

​​@@pincermovement72Re sending 100 bn back home... Ever heard of taxation? For that matter don't you understand that when the UK's unemployment rate was so low, there would be nobody else to do this work? But doing that work allowed offices, factories and houses to be built that otherwise would not have been built. Which meant that the UK's capacity to make money, supply its own needs and export to others profitably also increased. Do you not understand that more people with money in Poland who buy British goods and services is a good thing for British businesses who sell to them? Do you not understand that getting skilled workers when you need them yet not have to pay for their entire expensive education (including 11 to 13 years of primary school, secondary school, college education and in-work professional training) or take on the risk of that yourself is a huge economic advantage? Do you not understand that those sending money back to Poland are doing so because they are going back to Poland, too, after a few years in the UK? Which means besides getting the benefit of their education for free, you don't have to pay for their old ages either: all those NHS bills and social care costs. And don't you understand that despite not really benefitting from all of those education, health and social care services in the UK, those Poles are actually paying via tax and NI for British kids and pensioners to receive them? Do you know nothing about the way that the British economy works at all? Because you're certainly doing an excellent job of demonstrating that. Your economic illiteracy is staggering. Clearly British education at the time that you went to school was sorely lacking. Your far better educated younger generation get it, however. That's why they (and the vast majority who ever went to university) opposed or would not vote for Brexit. Economics is not a zero sum game, my friend. It can be and has been a win-win for everybody. Poles get richer and Brits get richer at the same time. The economies of both countries grow. People like you complain about things like housing becoming unaffordable because of things like immigration. But the truth is that the UK has simply failed to build enough new houses since the 1970s - long before the Poles arrived - and even I couldn't afford to get on the property ladder in the mid 1990s with a degree, a masters degree and a skilled engineering job. The other reason is that all rent controls in the UK were done away with (unlike most European countries) and public sector housing which was reasonably priced was sold off and councils were not allowed (leave alone funded) to replace it. Most of those ex-council houses were bought up by a small number of private landlords (and many of these being foreigners who don't actually live in the UK or even Europe, funneling profits via off shore companies and tax havens that the UK particularly excels in). You want somebody to blame for expensive housing, poor public services and huge sums of cash leaving the country? Point at the people who are actually doing this, mate. Not immigrants, who being of working age have consistently paid their way and contributed more (not less!!!) than their fair share. You really have no idea. But if you were right then all of those European workers going home after Brexit would have instantly fixed a huge chunk of Britain's problems - particularly with regard to housing. It didn't. Take a hint from this: you were wrong. And mate: immigrants move to a higher wage country to earn the wages on offer in that country. Not to be paid less than the locals (which they resent far more than the locals do, believe me). They don't come hundreds or thousands of miles to a foreign country - particularly a damp, cold and expensive country like the UK - to be screwed over. This is one of two reasons why immigration wasn't responsible for low wages in the UK (and the continued attractiveness of it for European immigrants). The other was relatively full employment which reduced employers bargaining power. Since Brexit, however, wages have been driven lower by deregulation and things like zero hours contracts. European workers are less interested in those conditions and stay in Europe to get paid more (and/or live cheaper) here. Meanwhile, the number of Brits that are struggling has increased markedly since Brexit. Few European workers are interested in low paid British jobs (and even many of the higher paid roles). That's why you now have so many shortages of doctors, nurses, social care workers, university researchers, skilled engineers and multilingual hospitality workers. Your NHS is in crisis. Your hotels can't take bookings at the same rate. And your pubs and restaurants are struggling to survive. Welcome to the real world. Simply put, you don't have enough British people in the UK of working age to pay tax for the services that British people consume. You cannot create those British people quick enough (because you have to have a lot of sex now and then wait 20 years while paying taxes to educate these new young 'uns to reap the benefits). Which is why you need immigrants with those skills to pay the bills right now The benefit of EU immigrants is that with they usually go home eventually as conditions in their own countries improve relative to the UK or many Brits (like me) go the other way.

In the 1980s-90s working as a British citizen in the EU was easy, as you were also an EU citizen. Today, as third country citizens British workers will be less than welcome in the EU.

Why would anyone who wants a successful future want to join the EU ? Consider how much the EU has already declined relative to the United States. Fifteen years ago, according to the IMF, the GDP of the Eurozone was just under $14 trillion, while the U.S. economy was marginally bigger.Today, the Eurozone’s GDP is just under $15 trillion, a modest rise by any standards. But the U.S.’s GDP has roared ahead to $25 trillion, making its economy 60 per cent bigger than the Eurozone. That’s a lot of relative economic decline for the Euro area in just a decade and a half.The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards. The average EU country is now poorer per head than every state in America bar Idaho and Mississippi. In 1990 America accounted for 25 per cent of global GDP, the EU a little above that. Today, America still accounts for 25 per cent of global GDP but the EU’s share has consistently slipped. It is now just over 14 per cent and falling. America has outperformed the EU on every economic indicator that matters. Since 1990 the U.S. working age population has risen from 127 million to 175 million, a rise of almost 40 per cent, while Europe’s has gone from 94 million to 102 million, a rise of only 9 per cent.

Who will you blame when you are outvoted in the EU and forced to do something you don't want? And of course if you leave the UK you will have a hard border with England, with full customs and immigrations checks, car searched etc as you cross the border. Scots will lose the right to live and work in England.

​@@karlbassett8485 what he and a lot of scots are mad about is: When the independece vote was held a lot of the people taht voted remain part of the UK, did so because otherwise they would also leave the EU. But 2 years later the English (once again) screwed over the Scottish people by taking the UK out of the EU. So now Scotland was stuck in the UK which they wanted to leave (because they want to be a sovereign nation) and out of the EU because their overlords in England decided to do so.

@@ChristiaanHW Just on a point of fact and the perceived anti-English tone, a majority of the Welsh also "screwed over the Scottish people" (yes Northern Ireland voted remain for understandable reasons, not least their complex border situation) and many English voted remain too; a majority of greater London voted remain being a larger population than Scotland but not able to seek independence. Mel Gibson and emotive misrepresentations in Braveheart have a lot to answer for, as a Nation (the UK) we really need to acknowledge who our true friends are and why we need to work together for a better future. We need to defend to the hilt what wealth creating businesses we have left and prevent any more foreign asset stripping, euphemistically presented as 'foreign investment' by all political parties over the years. This usually resulted in factory closures with production moved to what ever country offered the lowest EU wages, the HQ and tax base moved to Ireland for the lowest corporate tax and the UK being left with a warehousing and distribution operation, while the marketing team eulogised about the wonderful history and British 'values' of our brands.

​@@karlbassett8485The Scottish independence campaign wasn't about leaving the EU and anyone that told you that was lying to you. It was not a Eurosceptic movement that would have engaged in bad faith and unhelpful negotiations with the EU. Scottish politicians have never been that way inclined. Scotland wouldn't have been so unceremoniously dumped out of the EU like the UK establishment likes to claim (a UK establishment with notoriously strained relations with the EU). Scottish government ministers were always willing to engage constructively with the EU; that goes a long way diplomatically. Plus, having been in the EU, our economy was already aligned with the EU's requirements. Scotland wouldn't have less power in the EU as an independent country. As part of the UK, Scotland had 3 MEPs, as an independent country it would have more like 13 (going by how many countries like Denmark have). To claim that Scotland would have had less power is a complete lie. This doesn't even account for the fact that every so often, Scotland would get a turn at the EU presidency. The EU works by consensus and compromise. It isn't out to steal any country's autonomy or to subjugate them to some kind of imagined servitude. At its core it remains a framework to allow coöperation, collaboration and the free movement of people, goods and services around the continent, a continent which traditionally had been wracked by warfare and which is made up of a patchwork of cultures who have all agreed to get along (rather than fighting all the time). Why would Scots lose the right to live or work in England? Scotland and England are part of the British Isles travel area, something that has existed since at least the 1920s. They are part of this area because it makes practical geographic sense. Scotland likely wouldn't be in the Schengen zone because it is physically further away from the continent than England is and so anyone arriving via airports or ferry ports will be easy to catch at passport control anyway and being so much further away, it won't be the target of migrants' boats either. Frankly though, I'd choose a hard border with England if it meant that I could live and work anywhere in the EU that I wanted with no restrictions.

​@@dierstraits8399Mel Gibson has nothing to answer for. Braveheart is a film and a dramatisation. Nobody seriously based their opinions of Scottish independence on it. The Scottish independence movement existed long before Mel Gibson's Braveheart was ever thought of and will carry on existing right up until Scotland becomes independent.

@@InnuendoXP fifteen years living here and being a history and philosophy amateur

also I'm just struck by the idea that ideological & political disunity is a reason to keep Britain out, as if the EU isn't a project intended specifically to bridge that & prevent conflict through encouraging ever-closer alignment (coming from an initial position of non-alignment). As though the EU member states have a history of being oh so politically & ideologically aligned themselves. Did Spain cease to be Spain when Franco died? I do wonder if the average German or French person on the street considers the nations of Greece or Hungary as equal international peers? I have my doubts about that.

@@Matt-rw9py yeah people who feel small themselves often attach themselves to the idea of being a part of something larger, grander, as though they can then claim moral credit for it to compensate for their own sense of private personal inadequacy. Which is why conservatives love undermining efforts to educate & empower the masses while stoking sentiments of nationalist exceptionalism - they can then be rob them blind with impunity & they'll thank them for the privilege.

I agree. Even the "rejoiners" only want to rejoin because of economic reasons and a lot of them balk when rejoining also includes adopting the Euro.

And if not humanity, then people like the Kochs or the Murdochs ... Heck, British "boomers" were (many still ARE) too stupid to even understand how bad Brexit was for them.

​ @nickcollinbailey8802 The stupid don't die out: In the EU, unanimity is required for trade agreements. There is no "the EU dictates" but rather "all members wanted it this way." The stupid don't die out: Brüssel, the EU commission, does not make laws. Brussels is the executive. The 27 EU states (then 28 with the UK) make the "laws" (they are directives, not laws), and they do so UNANIMOUSLY. Every EU directive could only be agreed with the UK voting in favour. Example 1. the UK has voted in favour of opening up the EU labour force 2. the UK did not want a transition period but wanted EU labour to come to the island as quickly as possible. Why? To eliminate an acute labour shortage in the UK.

The efects of brexit will be forever negative. Because businesses will have difficulties to trade. There is no single market. Products need to be checked and taxed accordingly. Because of this, companies will avoid sending products cause there will be a delay in the market. And being taxed to import components and export finite products is a waste of time and money. So there will never be positive ideas. And UK has a risky economical behaviour. Accepting anything new that might put them in an unknown path and might have consequences. Following US footsteps but with a smaller economy, army, tech potential, productivity.

Why would anyone who wants a successful future want to join the EU ? Consider how much the EU has already declined relative to the United States. Fifteen years ago, according to the IMF, the GDP of the Eurozone was just under $14 trillion, while the U.S. economy was marginally bigger.Today, the Eurozone’s GDP is just under $15 trillion, a modest rise by any standards. But the U.S.’s GDP has roared ahead to $25 trillion, making its economy 60 per cent bigger than the Eurozone. That’s a lot of relative economic decline for the Euro area in just a decade and a half.The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards. The average EU country is now poorer per head than every state in America bar Idaho and Mississippi. In 1990 America accounted for 25 per cent of global GDP, the EU a little above that. Today, America still accounts for 25 per cent of global GDP but the EU’s share has consistently slipped. It is now just over 14 per cent and falling. America has outperformed the EU on every economic indicator that matters. Since 1990 the U.S. working age population has risen from 127 million to 175 million, a rise of almost 40 per cent, while Europe’s has gone from 94 million to 102 million, a rise of only 9 per cent. The EU has been a dismal failure and people are realising it all across Europe that's why they are voting for the right ! We need less EU and a lot more USA

@@garyb455 "The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards." Living standards in the US have been stagnant/declining for most people there for decades already. The income and wealth gap is bigger and growing faster than in the EU. The EU members tend to keep things a bit more balanced and if that dampens growth a bit, so be it. Most europeans do not want to live in an US economic system. But the brexiteer-politicians seem very keen on it, starting with selling off the NHS to US companies most likely. "Since 1990 the U.S. working age population has risen from 127 million to 175 million" Thanks solely to immigration... If Europe has a rising population it is only because of immigration. And yet they generally want less of it.

@@garyb455 i agree with this comperation. But your missing a lot of factors in this comperation. Your just seeing the economic performance of EU vs US. But US has a lot of flaws.

No vacation, no healtchare for he poor, a lot of people that suffer from recession because of corporate risks. Also US is a country it decides its own laws. EU is cooperating system among countries. How will it be if California or Texas just decide i want to get out. US wont be stable anymore. Uk just demonstrated that EU is not US with brexit. Investing in EU is not guaranteed. In US is.

Maybe that's what Norway said in the Brexit vote aftermath, but that might not be their position now. With the UK being a strong ecobomy, it would make the EEA much stronger than what it is now. Anyhow, the UK is mainly interested in single market access. It really isn't interested in the political project of the EU. Hence why we have been dubbed an 'awkward' member... Public opinions and demographics have changed surrounding brexit. The governments will have to respond at some point. Especially if they deter voters due to their brexit stance. That's the thing with politics - it is unpredictable. Also, 51.9% - 48.1% is hardly conclusive. Not all leave voters had the same reason for voting leave. I also don't think all leave voters wanted out of the single market. That is a wild assumption. Leave meant termination of EU membership. It isn't hard to understand.

To be fair, farage also did a runner right after...

The irony is that it was the Conservatives who, for years, begged to be accepted into the fold
