    Pretty much what I posted. They're in, in all but name...plus freedom of choice. They decided to comply, and they (the voters) can decide not to. They have additional freedoms, and no real penalties, as well as keeping control.

    Their system suits them, to such a degree that they're among the best performers in Europe.

    "More warnings. As they say, there has never been such unanimity amongst respected economists since the
    last time they were unanimous (irrespective of whether they were right)."

    I agree with all that and well written. I am certainly worried what the Tories will get up to if not limited by EU regulations, but I take a longer term approach. A bit off topic but people need to see what the Tories are really like and then have the opportunity to vote in a government that is best for the majority of people in this country. I don't think the EU or the Tories are that!

    That 'fixes' nothing! The warnings are clear! The economy will suffer. The only thing open to debate is how badly and for how long.

    A risk and a penalty not worth taking, and for what? Vague, groundless promises that 'things will be better'

    And as there appears to be no consensus (unanimous or otherwise) on the "only thing" ...

    The consensus amongst respected economists, top think tanks, major global bodies such as The World Bank, OECD, IMF, etc, etc, are all the same. The U.K. Economy will suffer...

    As the article says, there has never been such unanimity amongst respected economists. For those of you who want to take the risk that they're all wrong, good luck! The U.K. economy is going to need it!...

    It's weird there's a consensus among respected economists that the economy will suffer, all the major international financial institutions have said that we should stay in and it will have negative effects if we leave. There is projections that the value of the pound will drop from anywhere up to 25% of its value, some have compared it to Black Tuesday in the early 90s for similar (short-term) effect, there are warnings about the effect on business and investment in the country. Examples to China and other even vaguely similar situations to this totally unprecedented situation have been used, where none experienced anything positive to their markets.

    And yet you seem concerned that no one is saying exactly how long the negative effects will last and no one is agreed on exactly how bad it will get if we Brexit?

    But no consensus on how bad, how long etc.
    In other news, "respected" meteorologists have never been so unanimous in saying that
    night will follow day ...

    Not concerned.
    Just having great amusement at these so-called "respected" doing nothing more than reading
    out press releases from the Ministry of the bleeding obvious.

    'Witticisms', If that's what they're intended to be, won't detract from the facts. As I said at the start, the economy will suffer. How long for is the only thing open to debate.

    And, incidentally, the reason meteorologists predict night to follow day is because it's blindingly bleeding obvious. Just as what the economists are saying about Brexit is!

    It really doesn't matter what Juncker thinks, the member states make the legislation, not him and there's increasing pressure from several of the states to introduce some migration restrictions.
