The uncertainty is very real. What happens if we stay is fairly
predictable. However, the Leave campaign has persistently failed to
put forward any credible figures for what is going to happen if we
leave.

because the Treasury refuses to calculate this for them

where is it that you expect Leave to get hold of the equivalent model
in
the "free" software world?

I would expect them to commission a report from any of the
universities or companies that provide expertise in the field. Of
course, many of those have already predicted that Brexit will result
in a reduction in Britain's GDP.


A minor drop in GDP is insignificant. The recessions I have lived
through have shown that.

Those have only been short term drops, measured, at worst, in a few
quarters.

did you sleep through 2008?

If we leave, the loss of inward investment to us as a gateway to the EU
will be permanent

will it

want to bet?

and the effect will last for many years.

you really did sleep through 2008, didn't you
