So much cobblers talked about Brexit.

[Too Drunk to Funk]

The World's economies may be improving. We would still be far better off without Brexit, would we not?

[Nickbrapp]

Another Brexit thread. Great.

Yes maybe, maybe not, no ones quite sure how it will go, it’s not been done before. The economy has dipped and its gone back up. The pounds crashed and gone back up.

The worlds still turning.

I would give it 3-5 years post brexit before deciding if its been a good choice or not.

Tad too early at the moment to make an informed decision, especially due to the sheer amount of cobblers being talked.

Which worlds are you talking about? Is there more than one we should be aware of?

What narrative?

I like the pretend hush-hush type posts.

You will never know. It's not Back to the Future. If we'd voted Remain, maybe France would have left. Maybe there would have been a massive right swing in Germany. Maybe Italy would have collapsed. Maybe the EU would say you have to have the Euro. Maybe the EU would have said thank goodness for that you can do what ever you like now and we will send you glamorous French girls with free wine and cigarettes. No one knows. It's not a set-in stone thing. Any comparisons made in the future comparing our circumstances with had we stayed are useless because no one knows what would have happened.

As Kamal Ahmed reports:

Lord O'Neill said:

...I have felt for a good couple of years, as important as Brexit is, it isn't the most important thing facing Britain's future...

[StevieBee]

For all the pontification and opinions espoused by both sides of the debate, the simple fact is that we haven't a clue what the outcome will be.

There are many, many worlds. I'm fairly sure that most of them are turning. Or getting sucked into black holes.

Well, that's not entirely true.

We can point to Historical performance year on year in the EU, the good, the bad and the trajectory the UK was on immediately prior to the Referendum as it emerged from a Recession.

In 5-10 years time, we can compare that Data - and it will be. If the UK seems to be broadly similar in terms of average performance overall, then it will be deemed to have made no difference economically and Leavers can hail a success based upon whatever it was they Campaigned to Leave for most; apart from an improved economy, of course.

If the Data shows the UK as approaching and attaining new heights post Brexit, then Leavers can shout from the rooftops that it was all good and the correct decision regardless.

However, if after 5-10 years, the Data shows the UK economy as languishing somewhere near the low end of previous performance or worse, then the Critics will have their knives out asking if it was all worth it.

So, yes, there will be a time when Data will support the drawing of parallels.

If another major EU country leaves during this time and it has a very negative effect upon the EU Project, then that would need to be taken into account and can point to any mitigation required for a UK not performing better than hoped - i.e, it would've happened anyway.
