Sadiq Kahn calls for second EU referendum

[Rjk]

According to a model I saw the other day, even if nobody had changed their mind then a second referendum help after 2021 would return a remain result, due to far higher death rate in leavers.

Thank you Mr Khan for showing my Brexit analysis was correct

[Rjk]

Potential scenario:

Negotiations (continue to) go badly.
Looks like Britain will pay a very high price.
The pound tanks so it is pegged to the euro as a "temporary measure" to ensure stability while the brexit process continues.
At the end of negotiations Britain holds another referendum which is in favour of remain.

After a few years of a 1:1 exchange rate with the euro we decide to officially adopt it, as what's the difference.

Or maybe we become the 51st State

Communism of Socialism, or whatever you want to call it that Merkel and the EU are trying to create.

Think it's called Euro Socialist Liberalism, with a whiff of Champagne guilt .

There won't be a second vote, old Sadiq feels safe spouting this mantra as he only has to appeal to his London electorate,who were in the main remainers, if he were just a run of the mill Labour MP , he'd be falling in line with the Labour leadership policy on Europe, which is clearly defined 🤔🤔or is it , never mind no plan David Davies, can't see much clarity from any party .

Let's be fair worse case scenario, we take an awful 5 to 10 years hit , we repair ourselves slowly , which is achievable as our GDP is the ‎5th‎ in the world and our‎ (PPP)‎ places us at 9th.

We end with better border controls, make our own decesions on law , which to be fair we have managed very well over the centuries.

We've had 7 years of austerity as our beloved masters have told us was needed.
Yes we needed to manage the books better.
But I think it's a bit flippant to say 5-10 years we'll be alright. That's a hell of a long time to go through more economic turbulence for an end result that isn't the golden utopia some seem to think will be.

I'm not suggesting its austerity is needed the 5-10 relates to negotiations into new markets , the effects of not being in the Eurozone ,it's more about settling into a new way of working , business leaving, less reliance on eastern european workers , you can't just leave and pick up the fall out quickly we are talking about serious global markets , currencies and trade, I never mentioned austerity.
