@OP
I've been meaning to say, leaving the EU will hurt England economically.

Why do you want to hurt England by voting to leave, Svet? I thought that you were patriotic?

Economists overwhelmingly reject Brexit in boost for Cameron
Poll shows 88% of 600 experts fear long-term fall in GDP if UK leaves single market, and 82% are alarmed over impact on household income

In the short term. In the long term our economy would improve by leaving Europe. Also I wouldn't take anything the lying bastard Camoron says seriously.

Everything you vote for can hurt the economy even if you vote for a new government and ofc we'll take a slight hit but it's worth getting out sovereignty back. Fortune favours the bold.

Not a "slight hit". The economists largely predicted a long-term economic downturn.

The economists were also overwhelmingly pessimistic about the long-term economic impact of leaving the EU and the single market. Some 72% said that a vote to leave would most likely have a negative impact on growth for 10-20 years.
Just 4% of respondents who thought Brexit would mostly likely have a negative impact on GDP over the initial five years said it would have a positive effect over the longer term.

Economists have been wring in the past and they'll be wrong again. They are intentionally ignoring possible pros as they are bias towards the status quo. Anyway, they can't predict how negotiations will turn out.

Yes, I'm sure that 528 of 600 economists failed to spot major factors which you, an electrician, can plainly see.

Yes they can lol. This is their field of expertise.

Anyway, let's talk sovereignty.
The UK is actually quite influential within the EU. The concept of our country being complete slaves to Brussels is a bit of a Eurosceptic myth, I'm afraid.

And this is from a UK saturated with Euroscepticism and UKIP MEPs in there dossing about. The UK could become even more influential if it put its mind to it.

Political scientists have tried to devise other ways to analyze EU decision-making to figure out which countries are influential. For example, one study asked officials from across the member states with which countries they most closely cooperated in EU rule-making. On this score, the U.K. stands out as the most influential: 20 of the 26 delegations cited U.K. officials as among their principal partners, reflecting the U.K.’s perceived success in securing its objectives.
Another study looked at how closely the outcomes of EU negotiations reflected the original policy positions of national governments; again the U.K. scored highly, coming out fourth, ahead of France and Germany. That may reflect the U.K.’s rigorous approach to EU legislation, which requires broad cross-government consultation to identify British negotiating objectives.
Further evidence of Britain’s influence can be seen in the current EU legislative agenda, which strongly reflects British priorities. Not only is the EU trying to do less, reducing the number of new initiatives dramatically compared with the past five years and repealing unnecessary red tape, but its focus is on deepening the single market in areas such as digital services, energy and capital markets, and seeking new trade deals with the U.S., Canada and fast- growing countries in Asia.

We'll okay since you're in the same camp as the economists maybe you'll deny global warming like a lot of them do or are you going to pick and choose based on your own personal opinions. Vote how you wish you fucking retard just don't get all excited when a bunch of morons agree with you. Many of the bankers who caused the credit crunch want a remain too so you can suck their cocks too.

Fucking hell, it took three posts to reduce you to spouting utter crap.
This isn't "picking and choosing". This is respecting the analysis of a large body of relevant experts. You are the one who is picking and choosing by simply denying that their expertise means anything.
If your argument falls flat this easily it may, in fact, be time to reconsider. But don't worry, you can still help to save the UK instead of trying to hurt it, Svet. Vote stay!

The trouble with you people is you argue a brexit from a pure economical front not getting that the desire behind a brexit is sovereignty and control. Ofc we'll be hurt economically as we were voting in the tories who brought in austerity but some argue we needed it.
You talk about the experts saying a brexit is a bad idea but listening to the same experts has almost destroyed mankind. So shove your argument.

@previous (Svet !jzYkdX7lIw)I have not argued from a purely economic standpoint- I already noted that the UK exerts considerable influence within the EU.
If it's the borders you're worried about, that's also in hand. The UK is on the lower end of the scale in the EU, when it comes to getting migrants.. This chart demonstrates the point nicely, and you must also keep in mind that not all applications are approved.
So no, we don't need to shoot our own economy in the foot just to feel independent. Please stop being silly, and do the right thing for the UK.
> but listening to the same experts has almost destroyed mankind.
I did not think you would get more retarded than the global warming thing, but you somehow managed it.
Chirst, man, I expected a passably reasonable argument from you, but you're getting downright hysterical. Now you're calling economists a threat to humanity.
