@AfghanAndy I refuse to believe that you are so dense that you can't connect the Japanese car companies and the Japanese government warning about the negative consequences of leaving the SM CU with, well the negative consequences of leaving these Frameworks.
haven't the Japanese ploughed lots of money in to several UK sites recently? They'll find a way to make it work for them I'm sure. They're not daft. Unlike your average frothing remainer.

What Wordsworth said was that the process of executing change was best executed over a decade to avoid unnecessarily ruffling feathers in Brussels and to avoid too rapid change impacting on the UK economy. After a decade of slow but progressive change, I would expect that there will be substantial divergences between the EU and the UK.
If you are going to quote me, then please quote the pertinent post. Then everyone reading the post will know what I actually said rather than what you think I said.
what you really mean that had remain won-it would have been purely academic. And why would the sigh of relief have been socially? Economically I can understand.......but socially?
Oh Mods is there something that can be done for Baglock- therapy or some such? he contributes nothing of any substance. I wouldn't normally ask. Unfortunately ignore doesn't block buttons
Major, Blair, Clegg et al have all made it perfectly clear of the desire of a 2nd referendum as they can’t handle the result, so much so for making speeches to this affect.
One wouldn't mind but Blair and Clegg haven't been elected. Blair has as much credibility as a flea and Clegg is obviously going through his wilderness years
Best case scenario for the EU is naked self interest will see the well off northern Euros throw the piigs and weak eastern states under a passing financial short bus and the form an EU Mk2
Ain't going to happen for a multitude of reasons. I'll discuss just two.
1. Germany is going to resist any change that will impact on its lucrative export led economy. If the Euro North goes up by 10% - 15% in value (a likely scenario) its exports will fall by a half.
2. Currency speculators will have a field day. Euro North is going to go up in value and Euro South is going to fall in value. Fortunes will be made by the George Soros's of this world, while the economies of all the eurozone countries suffer major economic turbulence.
The only solution for the euro is a 'United States of Europe' and central control of the economies of the member states. For reasons that have been exhaustively discussed, that's a political impossibility.
All the member states of the euro can do is sit like a rabbit in the headlights and wait for the next recession to come along. The timing of the recession can't be predicted, but the effect can - significantly greater strain on the euro thn in the Lehman crash.

I'm sure one of the motives for Blair is that his interventions keep his name in the headlines, hence assisting his 'consultancy' business.
The Cleggster has always being an ardent European and thus I consider less opportunistic than Blair - at least he's acting on what's always been his core beliefs.
