abacus said:Consider this, any one that trades with anyone outside of the EU has serious taxes and obstacles put in their path, however despite this, we still sell 56% of our products to countries outside the EU, (Way more than we sell to the EU) once we leave the EU and all these barriers disappear, we will be able to sell even more than we do now, to even more countries, thus the EU (Despite what they try and make you believe) is an inward-looking irrelevance in the real world. (Talk to anybody outside the EU (Business and public) and you will find that the EU is nothing but a joke, that has little relevance in a global world, due to its inward-looking mentality).
Problems, Short term yes, but once were out, this industry will just get better.
The currency markets don’t like uncertainty (Hence the reason the £ has dropped) but once our cards are on the table, it will improve once more. (Nothing to do with punishing us, it’s just how the markets work)
Hope this helps

Which is why we must leave. Then Germany leaves and the EU falls apart. The Euro currency should be on the floor at the moment. I told you about the footsie being fiddled ahead of the Brexit vote. Now we are seeing it in the currency market.

The EU is a nightmare to sell into, if outside it...as Canada will testify....this could be seen as an argument to remain within it.
IMO. The EU will have to change, or it will implode....and I would like to have seen us having a say in that change.

The exchange rate is a result of the confidence in Sterling by the currency markets, not by the EU to punish us.....that will come later when we try and get a deal and every EU country will have its own sticking point....like the deal with Canada, which after 8 years has stalled because of a small area in Belgum that most people haven't heard of.
Electro said:It strikes me that this is a perfect example of why Brexit is a good idea if this is how the EU treats it's trading partners, it is utter stupidity imo .
They should have a majoity voting system.
It surprises me that anything ever gets done in the eurozone .*smile*
A letter in today's Torygraph said that Article 50 only requires qualified majority voting. Can't claim I understand what that it means, but seems to mean that Wallonia cannot veto.Electro said:CnoEvil said:jjbomber said:...the exchange rate is being fixed at a low level to punish us for exercising our democratic right.

No it's not.
CnoEvil said:I get the feeling that Europe is taking a hard line (to make us think again) and then will give us extra time, in order for "buyer's remorse" to set in (triggered by our economy going into freefall).
Those countries left in the EU, especially Germany, are very worried about the potential fallout from the UK's exit, so imo will do what they can to stop us triggering Article 50. There were even hints that even after it had been triggered, there might be a way to back out.
