Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Perhaps you could tell me what forecast disasters have befallen us since the June 2016 vote to Leave
Errrrm. You're still in the EU at the moment, so why would you be prone to disaster just yet?
That said, my son's an advisory manager for one of the Big Four. The project he's currently working on would involve several thousand jobs shifting from London to Frankfurt as a direct result of Brexit.

Europe is not perfect by any means but instead of raging on the outside it's about time our Governments especially this one started being more pro active inside!

Indeed it isn't, nor is the EU Europe; the UK is in Europe.

What I am inferring on Minimum hours are many of those do so are actually working minimal hours.
What would be useful would be actual hours worked and hourly rate etc.
-=-=-==
I would also like to see the main occupations of many of the MPs wishing Brexit. (such as investment Funds etc.) (Good old dyson's suction plans.)
Also, would suggest that many of those MPs and supporters wishing Brexit, also wished for lighter touch "financial regulations" and hope they can avoid some of impending or propose EU financial tightenings.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is self-interest which the driving force for many Brexiters like Redwing, IDS, Villain, PAttercake, Fernandel, Bakeit etc.
But my nose wrinkles when I hear them.

Not forgetting Tim Martin of Wetherspoons, Fred but as you say to many with a specific self interest in all this “let’s make England Great again” nonsense.

Copying cynic's view of yourself eh!
hilary, all kinds of disasters were going to befall us if we VOTED to Leave (not actually left) which we did, we are still waiting for them to happen.

Fred I think we all know that with few exceptions most MP's of whatever party and whatever view, put their own self interests before the country's interest.

9% fall in GDP , lol pull the other one Hils it got bells on.
Who told you that Osbourne or Carney ???
I might as well predict a 9% increase as no one can reliably forecast anything 6 months in advance let alone the period your forecast is over which you conveniently failed to mention.

And you remoaners clutching at straws , you do realise there is no legal obligation on the government to do anything regarding the amendments being put forward even if there is a majority for any of them ?
65 days to go , we're leaving , get over it.

Dil,
I thought that's what the IMF said in their November forecast in the event of a no deal.
As for legal obligation, doesn't the Nick Boles amendment to temporarily suspend standing orders allow sufficient time for Parliament to legally take control, during which Yvette Cooper's amendment for a 9 month Article 50 extension would be voted upon?
(Just Googled the IMF forecast, and it was 8%, not 9% - my bad)

Lol , you mean us leaving on the 29th after a majority vote to leave by the people , Parliament voting to trigger Article 50 and 84% of voters voting for a party fighting the last election on a leave ticket ?
Seems democratic to me Stan.

And you conveniently forgot the time period again Hils.
Have the IMF ever got anything right ?
Forecasting doom and gloom within 2 minutes of a leave vote being confirmed this time three years ago.
Says it all , you'd be bankrupt in months if you traded based on their forecasts.

Nick Boles amendment is to make it possible for Nick Boles to introduce a Bill to stop no deal Brexit. It requires a Bill as only primary legislation can stop it. However, May can ask the Queen to refuse Royal assent to it. The other nuclear solution is for May to prorogue parliament (end the session). All legislation in progress is then lost. Then a new session of parliament begins with a be Queen's speech.
