why would there be job losses.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Because a major percentage (over 50%) of British exports go to the EU.
I've got figures somewheres..."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

I'll take my 5 weeks holiday over your efficiency any time.
Anyway I think the point was that if the UK left the EU jobs would be lost because of european problems.Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

3,420,000 jobs in Britain as a whole are dependent on exports to the EU, according to the OECD."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

If they pull out of the EU tariffs and trade barriers are going to fly up in retribution. Exports, imports and jobs are going to plummet."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Only in the short term.
There are of course other longer term problems that I would be concerned with.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

At the same time yuo could sign up with an agreement with Nafta and the Aussies and maybe a couple of Asian countries and hey prestoSpace is big.

The EU is Britain's largest trading partner and its largest source of economic and political clout. "Withdrawal from the European Union is economically desirable for Britain" is almost universally denounced as a 'nonsense argument'.
As for an Anglo empire, I despise the idea of forming an empire solely on the basis of ethnic origin."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Not hey presto. Britain would get very little out of rejoining EFTA (the European free trade agreement). It's not on the same level as the EU - it's very restricted, allowing free movement of only goods and capital.Originally posted by TheStinger

As for agreements with NAFTA and the Aussies, if we could negotiate an opt-out clause from the Treaty of Rome I might think about it, but trade liberalisation (especially the American model) isn't always a good thing."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

There is no Anglo Empire. Lies! All lies! There is no master plan to dominate the world.

You have to adopt God Save the Queen as your Royal Anthem.
You can keep Stars and stuff for your Dominion Anthem.
Royal Assent, the Queen gets to pick 4 senators.
Oh, and you need a Governor-General, with Lieutenant-Generals in the individual Provinces.
What do they do? Absolutely nothing.
Except in Australia, where they support pedophile Priests."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

But in exchange, do we get stealth nation technology? It would be worth it.
