Tough shit if the Washington Post thinks its bad for America, though I doubt it. America would never agree to the conditions the UK puts up with for EU membership. You specifically laughed at the idea of free movement with Mexico didn't you? While the Eurozone has enough votes under QMV to change our laws unilaterally, which other nations do you give the right to change American laws without American consent?Originally Posted by Loki
As for your claims, the markets are not reacting negatively. Since the polls shifted to showing Leave as seriously possible both sterling and the FTSE 100 are both performing stronger than they were earlier this year let alone in recent years. The long-serving former Governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King has said the threats of Brexit are "exaggerated" while the eurozone is doomed.
US corporations - less fucks I could not give.
British corporations - have mixed opinions. Small enterprises in particular have much more nuanced opinions. Two credible Leave experts are the former head of the CBI Lord Digby Jones who has written an impressive piece on why he is voting Leave and Sir James Dyson.
Universities and scientists - while I respect Hawking's views on physics this is not a physics question and he is not as much of an expert on this topic as true experts like Dyson and King and Jones.
IMF - Got a lot wrong recently. A few years ago they published a report condemning the governments austerity as threatening growth before the UK proceeded to grow faster than any other major developed economy. Not the end of the world to disagree with them.
London Financial Firms - The UK is more than London but not all London firms are against it
Idiots for it - I can name many idiots against it.
If experts are the bees knees then why do you disregard experts like Mervyn King, Digby Jones, James Dyson and Peter Hargreaves?
