  • In his first speech as UK prime minister on Tuesday, Rishi Sunak said he wanted to “build the economy”.
    But many believe that Brexit is having a severe effect on British finances.
    The UK’s trade has dropped in recent years, the pound has fallen considerably against the dollar and business investment is yet to return to its peak in 2016.
    While these factors are predicted to be a result of Brexit, ministers have blamed international issues.

    My favorite Brexit moment was hearing about the woman in a London travel agency ranting at the employees about how she "voted for Brexit to keep foreigners out of Britain, not to make it harder for [her] to vacation in Spain". Could anything sum it up more perfectly than that?

      my favourite moment was hearing all the banks and financial institutions who heaped decades of misery on the country in 2008 telling us it's in our best interests to vote remain.
      taking their advice on finances is like going to see Harold Shipman when you aren't feeling very well, or letting Jimmy Savile babysit your kids.

    I'm a Brit living in Germany since 2010 and I run a small business here. Before Brexit I would order materials from the U.K. , the prices were competitive and delivery was quick. Since Brexit, it no longer makes sense to order from the U.K. The prices are not as competitive but the most problematic part is that delivery is often delayed considerably, due to customs issues. I can't rely on receiving orders on time. This causes real problems for my business as I order materials for specific projects with tight deadlines. With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £600k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

      Well that's not true. They've just changed tack, not disappeared. Italy, Hungary, Poland all have anti EU governments. France just took Macron's ability to govern properly by putting more anti EU politicians in the French Parliament. Germany has been doing it's own thing with little regard for the rest of the Europe, and will continue to do so. What's now happening is that the Anti EU parties are instead calling for a "Union of Nations", something more like the old EEC. Where the Nation State comes above Brussels. Europe is not America, there is no foundation story binding all states together. There is no financial union where debt burdens are shared - the proportionately tiny (when compared to the UK and America) Covid recovery fund, still hasn't been paid to many member states. What Brexit has actually done is show that European countries don't want an "American style" union, but neither do they just want a basic trade deal. Perhaps Europeans should wind back the project to the last time everyone was actually happy with it and leave it there. So before the Euro, but after the reunification of Germany?

    What's really astonishing to me as an outsider is that the British did, in point of fact, have a singularly privileged position within the EU before the referendum, with many special rights, positions, and exceptions granted to them and only them. They actively influenced the EU's position and policies on things that would *only* directly affect their competitors within the EU -- like the old harbour situation in Portugal and Spain. That, on a lighter note, the British forever ruined the word marmalade in the EU I shall not even dignify with a comment.
    In many ways, the UK was the *clear* winner of the EU, more so than often-quoted countries like Germany or Poland.
    The only thing that is clear to me after the referendum is that some parts of the British seem to indulge in the fantasy of bygone times, Britannia hooray, by jingo and all that nonsense. It really speaks to itself that many British people, in their vernacular, speak of the mainland as 'Europe' -- which bewilderingly seems to imply that they're not part of continental Europe.
    The entire referendum was held on the basis of partisan issues(us or them), deliberate misinformation (like that famous message on the bus), hidden agendas (like the Tories trying to break away from EU's workers' protection rights etc.), and general fearmongering (like how the UK is supposedly, in their words, ruled from afar).
    It is what it is.
    Still, if I were involved in any politics in the UK, I'd be looking into legal action against Johnson, Hamilton, Farage, and all the other deliberate liers.
    Freedom of opinion and policies is all very well. But if you bring your own personal agenda into national politics and deliberately manipulate public opinion you're clearly on the wrong side of democratic values.

    As someone who lives in UE and sees your situation from outside; what media say here it's that you're basically doomed.
    I don't want to be mean but... when you see 190 billions of capital flying from London to Paris just after the brexit, most from same UK's companies which want to retain all the old privilegies... it's difficult not believing it.
    Brexit was designed mainly for geopolitical reasons indeed; something about revitalizing the "old, imperial british pride and identity", in a United Kingdom any day more disunited, with different indipendetist movements inside, never really tamed and, today, more rampant than ever... with the result of worsening the situation (just take a look to how Scotland react to brexit).
    But no dream can live without a solid economic ground and some, at least decent, plan B.
    They presented their design to the british people in a some kind of recipe made of fear and pride, "US vs THEM"... lot of sentimentalism and very poor ratonality.
    What make many UE's european very little sympathetic, about brits actual situation, is that they always had a very privileged position in UE; with all the facilitations about being in a trading union, the very same all other members have, but with very little obligations, expecially in matter of common funding, nothing comparable to what countries like Germany, France and Italy had to pay in all their years of membership.

    Without Brexit, EU support for Ukraine could've been far more effective. A strong Britain backing Ukraine would've prevented foot-dragging on sanctions, and could've helped organize weapons exchanges. As for the British economy, predicting its post-Brexit demise was a school assignment. From lines of trucks and fighting over fishing rights to the rising cost of living and the flight of investors, I remember first describing these in essays only to then see them happening in real life. The start of the pandemic and my matriculation exams coincided so I even predicted a slower recovery for post-Brexit UK, concluding my analysis with a warning about the possibility of another "black swan". I had no idea that Russia would again invade Ukraine, nor was my analysis exceptional in any way.

      There's a key fact that most people don't know or fail to reconcile with enough in order to truly understand why we ended up with Brexit so here goes.
      In 2016 the official position of every major political party was to remain. The conservatives under David Cameron, Labour under Corbyn the lib dems under Farron and the SNP under Sturgeon
      So if all major political parties were against brexit and campaigned to remain how did we end up leaving?
      The answer is that while every major political party wanted to remain the British press which is 90% controlled by just 3 individuals campaigned relentlessly to leave.
      The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo.
      These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement.

It is an imperialist, nationalist, isolationist, in some aspects nothing but racist idea. Personally, I am very much in favour of Brexit, for it is, at the Brits expense, a boost to our own national economy. Since when could Austrian sheep farmers compete with the Brits? Since when did so much capital flow out of a country, so that even smaller ones (like Austria) get their share? Brexit made the Brits poorer, and the rest richer. And, most importantly: Itexit, Dexit, Nexit, Frexit, Öxit? Nope - those voices are silent now. By setting an example, the Brits showed what it means to be alone. It unified us in the European Union. And that alone made it worth it.

For example, many in the Tory/Brexit party might feel that having Rishi Sunak at the helm will make it easier for the country to make deals with India. Unfortunately, the Brexiteers will see that doing a deal with India will mean that more Indians will be able to immigrate to Britain. So we'll see how do Brexiteers square their wanting to sign their own trade deals, with their similar desire to cut down on immigration!

      TLDR: Germany is about to collapse as a manufacturing nation due to lack of labour, the signing of free trade agreements with competitor nations and the end of cheap Russian gas.
      Germany built its economy on a three legged stool:
      The first leg was guest workers. German manufacturing was carried out by manufacturing was carried out by conscientious post war Germans, and with Turkish “Gastarbieter” - guest workers doing that manual lifting.
      Things changed after unification and new EU rules, especially the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999, when visas, asylum, immigration and other policies relating to the free movement of all persons, including third-country nationals, were moved from the JHA pillar to Title IV of the EC Treaty (EC Treaty, Arts. 61-69), and hence from an intergovernmental approach to policy-making to a common approach.
      The other big change was in attitudes within Germany. Young degree holding Germans didn’t want to bolt wheels onto BMWs. They wanted to wear suits.
      This shaky leg explains why Merkel was keep to allow so many refugees into Germany in 2015. Sadly she quickly found out that they don’t want to do manual work either.
      The second leg was the EU captive market. With free trade across borders Germany became the major manufacturing nation for the EU. Tariffs on imported goods allowed Germany to make higher profits.
      But that captive market has fallen away because the EU is now signing free trade agreements with other manufacturing nations. A free trade agreement with Korea came into force in 2015. An economic partnership agreement was signed with Japan in 2019. A free trade agreement with China is underway.
      This will open the door for foreign manufacturing and end Germanys captive market.
      The third leg is the cheapest energy in the world - Russian gas. In 2019 Germany was paying USD4 per unit of natural gas compared to Japan who were paying USD8.40 per unit. This is precisely why Germany is a major chemical and fertiliser manufacturer and Japan isn’t.
      All that just changed forever.

Farage repeated said we could ‘be like Norway’ which is in the Single Market. Leadsom said ‘We will have the same access to the Single Market’. Johnson in 2019 said ‘there will be no forms, no checks, no barriers of any kind [between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK].’ So rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union would respect the referendum result.
