>>8202419
Bounce back to what exactly? You think the current economy in UK, and Europe as a whole, is growing? Wait another year for China to severely under-perform and the entire global framework caving in because of it. UK got out before it got real bad.

>>8202416
That """""""small""""""" price being massive unemployment, loss of faith in the currency, even more political extremism, and your entire neighbourhood becoming a shantytown to rival the Hoovervilles. Isn't that right.

You're in the 30's now, bitch.

Forecasts also showed globalization increasing the average worker's real wages and any displaced workers to rapidly find jobs. Neither happened.

>>8202456
>Forecasts also showed globalization increasing the average worker's real wages

That actually did happen though. Goods are so much cheaper because of globalization. Look at Walmart

Real wages skyrocketed

>>8202469

In Canada everything except "Clothing and Footwear" are more expensive. Our money buys 72% of what it did in 2002.

>>8202480
but clothing and footwear is probably the most globalized industry

>Our money buys 72% of what it did in 2002.

there was a recession


leaving the eu just seems like giving up too much for too little. you can make better trade deals, but the jobs arent coming back.

The Pound is going down because investors are selling. Nations are already help to practical gunpoint by bankers and merchants, telling them "no" at some point is going to hurt, but it has to be done if you don't want the entire planet to become nothing but a sandbox for them.

>>8202525

can you explain how this has actually depleted Britain's economic capacity?

Hahahahaha you think this is going to defeat global capitalism?? This is nothing to them! They've got you had and you fucking rely on them for everything.

Now you don't even have them! You're fucked! And it won't put a dent in them besides put a dent in yourself.

>>8202534
How about you just watch the news bud.

>>8202524
>economy is the sole determinant of something as nebulous as "quality of life"

Does the thin veneer of your college leftism ever actually come into contact with all of the instincts you've had constructed for you by neocon thinktanks? Or does the former just orbit around the latter like some kind of concentric Ptolemaic sphere?

The neocons are right about the economy, and the economy is evil. That doesn't mean the world isn't ruled by that evil. It is. Fighting against it is either slow and gradual or violent.

What you chose to do was try a mix between sudden and gradual and you've fucked yourself because of it.

This isn't much to do with ideology than strategy. This was just a dumb move on the part of Britain, you're gonna regret this.

Yes, I think national sovereignty is innately opposed to globalism.

I think socialism is nothing but capitalism pushed to its ultimate conclusion, and considering Marx's theories, that makes sense.

One nation won't do jack shit. There are an entire line right next to you, and they have battle scars. You aren't fighting anything. The real people fighting are in militarily important regions where oil is located.

Then you chose boring middle class revolutionary death. Hey, when you finally get poor enough, maybe you can actually hypocritically take on the mantle of the fucking IRA you bastards slaughtered

>>8202542

>>8202562
ok...? that doesnt make them impervious to recessions....

>>8202562
So was the Ukraine. So was Yugoslavia. But again, they don't have the empty middle class environment you Brits had.

You're playing pretend revolutionary thinking shooting yourself in the foot can finally get mommy to pay attention to you.

Scotland is going to leave now, Northern Ireland is going to leave, uniting Ireland. Fuck knows, maybe Scotland and Ireland will eventually unite. You're just going to be isolated little shit chunk of island.

I just think that's funny.

>>8202564
I'm asking in which way Britain's economic capacity has been diminished
>>8202567

Britain still has strong institutions, it can take a temporary recession

this is far worse for the EU than is is for the UK

>>8202563
>One nation won't do jack shit
It's an extremely important nation, and if it overcomes the economic issues, it could lead other nations to leaving the EU and that buzzard Merkel

The UK's economy will be fine, the idea that they need the EU for their economy to function is ridiculous, does Switzerland need the EU? I'm not saying they are the same import-and-export wise, but this idea that the economy needs to the EU to function is laughable. If the economy tanks, it is because of investors, not because of irreparable damage to production and export capacity.

>>8202485

It's also only 4% cheaper. Wow those great savings were sure worth dispossessing our own workers!

Look buddy, whatever the reason was, real wages did the exact opposite of "skyrocket." I don't know, maybe in China and Bangladesh they did but not in my country.

I'm not even British I'm just saying. I wouldn't have voted stay or leave. I'm leaning leave actually.

I just think the choice itself is ridiculous and not a way to actually fight. A more strategic way is probably less obvious.

Besides I naturally loathe Britain for what it did to Ireland in the 80's, when they pull shit like this, when these same politicians said earlier what they said about people like the IRA. It just all rings shallow.

>>8202583

>>8202638
I think it's because Islam in this country is strongly associated with petit bourgeois. Corner shops and all that. And the leave rhetoric has been that leave is better for them. And no doubt they can more easily get in their daughter's rich cousin for marriage or something. Or get their hard working nephew over to expand the business. (Or both.)

I just find it funny that a lot of people will have voted based on racism and they're now more likely to end up with even more middle class Indians and Pakistanis. Especially as their doctors, delightful in a way.

If Trump wins, America will go off import economy as well (though obviously not as drastically).

>>8202671
Britain may have left, but Trump is probably not going to be president. At this point he's trailing potential voters next to Clinton.

For /pol/ meme magic fucks, basically going in, if you know and understand what polling is, they predicted this would be close in England. It's predicted using polling magic of course, that Trump is going to lose as it stands right now.

>>8202671
It's going to be very hard times if it even goes that way. Remember that the tory party in power right now were the ones in the EU vetoing stopping import of Chinese steel and that then led to stamping on the failing steel industry.

It has taken Switzerland 8 centuries to accumulate the wealth it has.

Switzerland is still a participant in the EU single market. Considering most of its income comes from manufactory exports and the EU purchases nearly half of those exports I would say that yes, Switzerland does in fact need the EU.

Germany is Great Britains largest trading partner after the United States, followed by--surprise!--more EU member states sans Switzerland, G.B. probably needs the EU a good deal more than they seem to think they do.

>>8202586
>If the economy tanks, it is because of investors
I'm telling you right now, the pound dropping is down because investors are leaving en masse. It is to do with speculation for sure, but it is within a larger mechanism to hedge on whether companies feel they need to sell up and move or stop trading in GBP entirely.

>>8202718
>why do you think leaving the EU would suddenly prevent the UK from trading with the EU?

I didn't claim anything of the sort. Constant headache claimed Great Britain doesn't need the EU, but EU countries make up the majority of G.B.'s trading partners meaning that G.B., in fact, does need the EU.

It's all fairy dust. Banks that threatened they were leaving London if United Kingdom left the European Union are now quickly saying “no, we were kidding, don't worry”. Finance is surely pleased with the situation, they won't have to follow any more many European restrictive laws, while the government will probably vote so Britain will be even more of a tax heaven. Fearing to be disconnected from the outside? Just wait treaties are negotiated. The United Kingdom will acquire a Swiss-like status soon.

>people thinking anything will happen

It's a referendum, negotiations to leave have yet to even start. It should be obvious that the government would double back on the brexit if it has a chance to.

I doubt very much they'll reform with the Republic as a single nation. HOWEVER if they don't jump on the "we voted for the EU" bandwagon fairly quickly, England pissing about with border controls is going to make everyone very upset and severely fuck up the peace process.

In other words, they need to think about getting out straight away. I think there's good support atm, and they have a good chance if for example Sinn Fein put aside reunification. People are hearing the leave England argument but I doubt the join Ireland argument would work so well.

If they can get past that then I think they'll do alright on their own in the EU.

>>8202718

They wouldn't. It would fuck them royally in customs though. EU means no customs, out of EU and the same happens that happened when all their auto industry collapsed. Big firms are fucked when exporting to EU, with their prices way up. Their agriculture is already lacking where it comes to import/export balance with strong pound, now put custom fees on that and you are in freefall. Imported prices rise, export is too expensive in Europe and fails to compete. Then foreign investors skip Britain since it's no longer a feasible entry into EU market. No more jobs, high prices, devaluation of pound, popular politics still blaming all on Europe winning elections, chaos, madness, it will be glorious.

>>8202910
NI do very well in a handful of areas. Their secondary education is very good (at least on paper). And trade wise they're in a highly strategic position. Them being poor to my mind removes barriers to leaving, what have they got to lose? Especially if the other choice is a heavy border with the Republic again and still being poor.

They haven't got the oil or the Arts or the industry of Scotland, and they can't develop in quite the same way as the Republic but I think they can do well. Even if it's just by having easier trade without being under the thumb of England.

We'll see anyway. Also keeping the pound used to be such a sticking point, but now...

What will sniffman say about this?
