The Budget

[Feedback]

of course we wouldn't be a 3rd world nation within a generation.

where is all this money coming from to plug the £15bn gap per annum?

if we stay in the UK, we will always be the poorest part of the UK.
when northern Ireland and Scotland leave, which is only a matter of time, we will be a forgotten part of England.
Ireland has prospered far more outside of the Union than it would have inside the union - yes it took a long time.

with all due respect Ireland is not as prosperous as you make out. Yes it has billions added to its GDP by virtue Amazon, Facebook and Google's EAME operations are based there, but that does not translate to wealth within Ireland. The aforementioned companies pay less than 1% corporation tax in Ireland, hardly contributing to taxes.

an independent report i just read suggested that the defect could start at around 15% and be closed in 10 years, debt peaking at 73% of GDP.

Can we see this report? As it stands, the deficit of £15bn is around 20% of GDP, now bear in mind, during the Greek sovereign Debt Crisis, government borrowing peaked at 10% of GDP. You appear to be advocating starting in a situation between 1.5-2x as bad as the Greeks found themselves in ten years ago.
