When we joined the common market had 30% of the world market it's set to drop to 9% by 2050. Not exactly a glowing endorsement to be shackled to it.

A great deal of history will happen in the next 27 years. Obviously.
A forecast isn't sacred prophecy, is it?
This is where the one world government comes in, Nett zero, 15 minute cities etc etc.
It was in another thread when someone latched on to BOE forecast showing doom and gloom to the UK. Of course when previous BOE forecasts were shown to be wrong, they quickly backtracked....
A bit like those on here that Poo Poo links from newspapers such as the 'Daily wail' or the 'Torygraph' but are quick to quote from them when it suits their cause.

An economic forecast is a bit like a builders quote: never the same two figures by the end.
False argument, often pushed by brexers who don’t have the critical thinking skills to realise it’s a nonsense argument.
when we joined the common market China had a gdp of $200 billion, now it has a gdp of $20 trillion
yup, EUs global share of gdp has shrunk because emerging markets can grow faster.
by the way Americas Share of global gdp is shrinking at similar rate
oh and we’ve never been “shackled”
When we were in the EU, the supermarkets and other shops were always full of goods from all around the world: India, China, America, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Canada, Australia etc etc.
shackled
No need for any forecast.
40% of UKs exports go to our nearest and biggest trade partner.
imposing:
SPS controls,
tariffs,
carnets,
customs declarations,
transit documents,
VAT issues,
regulatory complications
border delays
adds cost, creates delays and makes UK business more expensive and a less attractive place to trade.
no need for a forecast
There are 35 gigafactories being built in the EU
in the UK there is one (oh and it’s gone bust)
They still are. Appears to only be you that can't find **** all.
Anyway, we've been there, done that. Remember when you wouldn't tell me exactly what you were short of? https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/shortages-on-the-shelves-at-sainsbury’s.578516/
It's probably the case that those who voted Leave are older. However, this is not the result of being born in a particular era but is actually the result of growing maturity and cynicism about politics and the motivations of those who are in power.
In other words, as those who've already worked it out die off, younger people also acquire the life experience to start thinking the same. The net result is that the balance is not likely to shift over the years.
The same applies to voting Labour, usually only those daft enough to believe their promises and not appreciate the massive glaring issues with socialism are more likely to think it's a good idea. Whereas those with more experience of what a Labour government is actually like tend to learn from their past mistakes.
These critical thinking skills you've acquired, to me you should ask for your money back.
What you put there in effect is the world's moved on and globalisation is a dominant factor hence emerging markets and fading markets that were once dominant are in a state of flux.
That's why I pointed out Blair and Cameron knew this, therefore wanted to get other countries under the rule of Brussels.
As for your stupid statement about not being shackled and falling on the floor laughing we were restricted by eu law regarding trade deals.
Your local Tesco's being out of banana's doesn't constitute a shortage due to Brexit.
Feck me. I've just been for a walk up Green Street to get my lunch. I passed as couple of little independent corner shops on the way - they have fruit and veg counters outside. Fully stocked but Queens Road market is abundant with overflowing fruit and veg stalls stocked with produce from all over the Globe. When you say 'shortages', what you really mean is large supermarkets being unable to continue getting produce at rock bottom prices. Go to your local greengrocer or market and stop looking for shortages. Funny how it's always you that has shortage's when the Daily Mail says you should have! What is it EXACTLY that you personally cant get and how hard have you tried?
Wrong
You need to find out what Cohort Effect is.
You'll also have noticed the Regret among Brexit voters.
I'm sure you don't really believe that's because they have got younger
True for some, that's for sure, same as it is for remainers but have you never heard of the saying about old men planting saplings whose shade they will never sit under? Same thing.
