| So you will not base your pro/con Brexit views on economic forecasts? That’s ok but please tell us what you will base your Brexit views on. It’s difficult to disagree that skills, productivity and entrepreneurship drive wealth. I’m not clear on two things: How does being in or being out of the EU enable or inhibit these things? Wealth does need exporting. It’s not enough to rely on the domestic market. Now and in the future the things businesses offer will be services or a mix of products and services. What trade agreements (other than the EU free trade market) offer the ability to readily export such things with no tariffs? That is, won’t it be best to have a huge tariff free market right on our doorstep? |
