    To be honest none if this seems much of a surprise. I can see how it comes as a surprise to people who've let themselves be fooled by all the brexit propaganda, but as far as I can see all of this is perfectly in line with predictions made before brexit.

      It's a fair point. Subjective, for sure. What is "unexpected" to some is actually quite the opposite to others.

      Taking subjectiveness into account is of course important. But to be fair, in this particular case the group of people that found these results subjectively obvious is the group that also happens to contain the vast majority of economic and trade expert in the world. I feel like that counts for something.

      Before the referendum of Brexit, my main question was what will happen to Northern Ireland? How can they have brexit and avoid hard border? I did not see any solution, but I thought it is lack of knowledge. Now I learned I was right: there is indeed no solution. It was the Brexiteers, who suffered from lack of knowledge.

      Germany has been in or near recession for the last 2 years, their government has collapsed. Their automobile industry is in decline. The UK economy has grown faster than that of Germany.
      UK exports are higher now than pre-pandemic and pre-brexit. Actual figures, not estimates.
      I guess because I don't care if we are in or out that I don't feel any compulsion to make stuff up.

    The first numbers (20 and 7 billion) are a bit misleading. The benefit for the UK was much higher than the 7 billion mentioned. It's just harder to quantify. What is it worth to have access to a market of 500 million people and about an 11 trillion GDP? What is it worth to have the EU do your trade deals because they have much more power than the UK on it's own? etc.

      Ten countries contributed more to the EU budget than they received back from that budget. A system that gives more to everybody than they put in is not possible. Rich countries pay in more to support poorer countries.
      All EU countries gain from membership, also Britain did as we can see now.

  • @MrHaggyy

    The shift of economic power wasn't unexpected. Britain had some industry that was heavily dependent on EU trading rights. Automotive with Nissan, Mini Couper & Land Rover(BMW), Jaguar, food and medical equipment (McLaren), to order them roughly by workforce. Also, the logistical backbone of the British industry was foreign truckers from the EU. With Brexit, some companies like Nissan had to leave the country because EU homologation of cars was extremely difficult and the island was mostly cut off from the European car parts supply chain with Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. Mini and Rover could endure some of the stress, as BMW still had its HQ in an EU country and was willing to provide some level of logistics.
    The biggest problem however is the access to primary resources needed for food, medicine, and construction. The EU had developed standards and secured trade access to primary resources so each member could build a secure economy on top of this secured supply. That was the reason we, including the Brits, built it as a trade union in the first place. Without this security, any company using large quantities of materials (automotive, construction, food) had to be ranked more risky and investors had to withdraw money if they cared about a risk-managed portfolio. Other industries that don't depend on any material, like banking and IT were not affected by this. That's one reason, why London is still doing fine, while the rest of the country was hit much harder.
    The Germany-China trade is also linked to the EU. Austria (heat pump, smart grid) and Spain (automotive, turbines) will also benefit greatly from the infrastructure deal. Britain however can not be included easily as it still doesn't have the same free trade rights. Otherwise Rolls-Royce in Britain, and BP instead of Shell-Germany would have been perfect choices to incorporate in those deals.

      As the old motto says, divide and conquer. The UK cannot prosper alone in a globalised world, simply because it doesn't have the critical mass to make it work, land resources, potential for expanding or colonies (this isn't the British Empire anymore). So I'm afraid not, the Brits are royally and utterly screwed, and they brought it uppon themselves. From the EU's perspective, once Orban eventually leaves, there's finally room for deeper European integration, so farewell UK. The EU will do the necessary things to ensure the UK doesn't drag it down to its self inflicted thirdworldification.

      Well, because they kept the pound they were able to set their own financial policy, and had the power to veto proposed EU policies. This enabled the UK to negotiate better outcomes. The only thing I can see that irked the Brits was free movement of people throughout the EU. However, immigration remains a problem post Brexit, and the drop in trade has been slow to make up with other markets. It's hard to predict what will happen if a trade war commences next year.

    The UK leaving the EU is in fact already causing a slow-motion car crash for the EU, as there is no longer a large neoliberal champion to counter the French largesse and sclerotic German industrial model. The German economy is currently tanking, is a bureaucratic nightmare and is getting worse, with lower growth than the UK predicted for years to come. France has just been credit downgraded again and is rapidly heading for an IMF bailout. Crucially, in neither country is there any political party even talking about addressing their problems. More regulation and public spending is all you will ever see from the increasingly parochial EU now.
