I don't think their currency has fallen quite as far as ours has which might derail that calculation. The reality is that nobody know for sure what will come next, and bullishly predicting imminent prosperity has as much credibility as predicting the apocalypse.

I agree with that, I'm just trying to provide some counter points to people predicting doom and gloom.

We don't know what the overall outcome of the referendum will be economically. But there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic, plus we actually have democracy in the UK now. Something the rest of Europe doesn't.

idc about this i just want to see all the brexit memes

Sure lets import all our food from 11,000 miles away (as the crow flies, further because ships can't travel over land).

I'm moving to Sweden when I turn 18 tbh

Saying scotland is fucked because oil is tanked seems painfully myopic tbh. But i guess thats the trend with the european 3rd world rn lol

never thought id see the end of the UK in my lifetime

But that's what we did before we joined the EEC. It was a major issue when we joined as it meant milk prices went up.

It hasn't been announced, it's "on the table":

Considering SNP have the majority of MPs in Scotland then this is no surprise as it's been one of their primary policies for as long as I can remember.

reminder that anyone telling you anything specific will happen ("Food prices are expected to drop") has no basis for what they're saying because basically every economist only managed to say "it'll be kinda bad" and had no clue what the fuck was gonna happen after Brexit

If you have any sort of an idea what's gonna happen ,you could easily be a millionaire next year just by buying futures rn

It might not cost the EU a whole lot.

http://www.smmt.co.uk/2016/01/best-year-in-a-decade-for-british-car-manufacturing-as-exports-reach-record-high/

45% is a lot worse than 22%.

Also keep in mind who owns the companies. I'm not even talking about Bentley (VW) and Rolls-Royce (BMW), those are nearly irrelevant.

I'm talking about the big ones (>70,000). Sorted roughly by volume:
Nissan UK (Nissan)
Jaguar Land Rover (Tata)
Mini (BMW)
Toyota UK (Toyota)
Honda UK (Honda)
Vauxhall (Opel -> GM)
GM Lutton (Opel -> GM)
Ford Britain (Ford)

Now take a big fucking guess which one of these can and will shift the production of everything that they would've exported to the EU (back) into the EU should exporting to EU become more expensive.
Spoiler alert: All except Tata.

Food prices went up when we joined the EEC because of protectionist tariffs. European farmers couldn't compete on price so they slapped massive tariffs on non-EU food in order to protect them. We don't need to pay those any more.

Maybe we'll pay more for other goods, but the price of milk/dairy/etc should be coming down.

WHO ACTUALLY VOTED OUT,
LIKE EVERYONE WANTED TO REMAIN

WHERE THE FUCK DID 51% BREXITERS COME FROM

People who wanted to leave are a lot more passionate about it than people wanting to stay imo.

Riddle me this: if high food prices are caused by import taxes into EU, how come Germany has the cheapest food ever?
Hint: they aren't

http://wsm.wsu.edu/researcher/wsmaug11_billions.pdf

That's not true though is it. Food prices in the UK went up when we joined the EEC and Germany still has higher food prices than the UK and Canada/USA/Australia both as a percentage of income and as a whole number.

Unless of course you mean Germans are spending less now than they have in the past, which might be true but food would be even cheaper without the tariffs.

I was not nearly enough drunk for the comments on that piece.

Bring a sleeping bag and I'll let you crash on my living room floor 8)

its amazing how people who disagree with you don't tend to be in the same social groups as you, its almost as if they have a different perspective
also as shown by people in this thread if you disagree with the lefties you'll be branded a racist ignorant idiot

https://youtu.be/0ANi05sa1mA

so you'll have cheaper import food but the EU food subsidies that have been life supporting UK farming for the past 20 years are gone. You might see certain import foods crash in price while staple foods from Wales or w/e aren't farmed at all. This situation is so painfully complex that there's almost no way to guess what will happen.

The EU still controls a shitload of the European trade because any company that would try to do business in the UK would also be doing business on the continent. If mainland Europe still has protective tariffs and food regulations, other countries will still be unlikely to charge pre-EU prices.

There's also that mass exporters of food now have a market advantage over the UK being that the UK has almost no standing trade agreements and will need them ASAP to import necessary supplies like food. That necessity can easily be bargained with to create unfavorable trade deals that cause food prices to stagnate.

We pay more than double to the EU than we get back in subsidies. The government can cover every EU subsidy and still make a huge saving (not that they necessarily will, but they could).

Arguing the direct debit/credit for the EU/UK is horribly stupid. When you look at how much you were paying in EU membership dues the crash of the GBP alone has done more damage to the GDP than spending a years worth of EU dues and its only been a day. If Brexit had been perfect and that hadn't happened, you'd still likely be losing money in the medium term as you'll have to restructure and renegotiate trade deals and for reasons I've already explained its unlikely you'll even maintain the current value of your trade

Best case scenario: InterEuropean trade tanks in the UK but trade with the US, commonwealth, and China manages to overcome that deficit and UK has a more diverse economy

Worst: Asia and NA don't want shit to do with the UK because of market instability and EU pressure and the UK economy stays the same but has to pay more in EU tariffs

Around the whole country people are saying RIP britain,
Its not just my isolated view in my isolated area of UK
its the view of most of the fucking country yet 51% of us voted to exit.

you say most of the country believes this yet the majority voted to leave, maybe a bunch of those people regret voting to leave, but you have no data to back that up and 51% voted to leave

wtf i hate brexit now
