Brexit Thread

**edyzmedieval** · 05-31-2016, 08:24

Brexit, in all honesty, is a turning point in UK politics. Doesn't matter whether you agree with the EU or not, or what your option is, a serious change will happen in the UK after this referendum regardless of the outcome of the vote. And it will affect every inch and corner of all industries because of all of the trade agreements, exports and legal issues that bind the UK to the EU.

23rd of June - let's see what happens.

Beggars aren't choosers, it isn't going to hurt the UK at all. Everything will remain the same. It only hurts eurocrats.

Yes it will.

On every count you can imagine, regardless if the vote is negative or positive. Economically, socially, legally, anything you can think of. The UK has integrated within the EU since the European Coal and Steel Community in the 1960's and 1970's, and bringing the UK out of legal treaties that have worked for the past 40 years is not exactly the easiest thing.

Yes it is really that simple, all these treaties were already in effect during the EEG, a brexit is only a problem for the EU who loses one of it's most important payers, and eurocrats who become even more ideologically bankrupt.

The only problem here is that those treaties will no longer fully apply as they do now - the EU won't give the same concessions and trade rights to the UK after it leaves the EU, if it does.

So after a (hypothetical) Brexit, the UK and the EU economies stand to lose. And lose quite a lot.

Those rights already existed, the UK has nothing to worry about. Like in the Netherlands for the UK the EU is just a very expensive overhead with very little use.

UK stands to lose a lot in the economy sector, the EU's common market greatly helped the EU economy and the local producers. Restricting at least the ease of access for goods is not exactly the best of situations for either party, and economics is not the only part where changes will be expected, regardless of the vote.

But let's see how it goes first of all - 23rd of June should be a rather important day in the UK.
