Current Affairs EU In or Out

The truth is if we leave Cameron would need to negotiate over 60 new trade deals.

Take a look at what he got out of the eu prior to the referendum to judge how good a negotiator he is and so how good a deal we'd get in thos 60 cases.

Cameron is toast whatever the result. The knives are being sharpened as we speak.

Regardless of the result, would any Conservative leader be able to win a vote of no confidence in the Commons? Either way there could be a general election coming soon.

The German's rule Europe, they sell a lot of product here, as do the French and Italian's, not much would change, it would take 2 years to officially leave, a lot would be sorted in that time, it is in every countries interest to keep selling goods and services to each other.

We can not cope with the influx of migrants, the Schools and Education system, the NHS, Jobs and wages, all will become worse for the country if we can't control the numbers coming in, a points system is the only way to solve it, never going to happen if we stay in the EU.

lol. Mind you, a case of 'buy the rumour, sell the fact' might be imminent. I hope Pete's not too leveraged and can withstand the short pound stop-hunters!

I hope farage was hedging his bets I was looking forward the feeling of watching a 6 hour penalty shootout.

I don't follow. Expectation is a Remain win. Essentially, Cameron won. Why would he lose a vote of no confidence?

I think the trade deal with the eu will probably go relatively smoothly. The deals with none eu members I think will be tougher than many imagine.

But the real blow isn't in trading goods, it's trading in financial services. In goods we have a trade deficit and so a strong negotiating position in fiance we have a trade surplus and so a weak one.

The city of london banks would lose big in a leave vote. I realise not a lot of people would weap for them but I think the country needs them.

Sod the dollar, in the event of a Remain win, can I expect the GBP/EUR rate to swing ahead of my holiday to Menorca? #silverlinings

There's a considerable fraction of the Conservative party that would be extremely unhappy with a Remain victory, it's not impossible that they would vote against Cameron. With the Conservative majority being so small, it only takes a smallish number to vote with Labour and the SNP to force an election.
