There's some good thinking from LCP on the Brexit issue this week. In the end it may not be to do with economics, but more to do with 'belonging'.
Do we want to be part of Europe or not? To be on the outside may not be the best place for us in the long term, even if in the short term, the financials are not so bad as they are sometimes portrayed.
I prefer belonging to pulling up metaphorical drawbridges, but as the LCP article suggests, there's a lot of emotion and hot air in this debate. The Churchill quote is apposite: “A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject”.
