Stena Line is a Swedish company and might pull out from the UK if Brexit:)

Having no expertise, nor knowledge. If/When Britain leaves the EU:
What exactly will be Long Term Impact upon Britain's Economy?
Can/Will the EU place barriers and/or tariffs, regarding Britain trading with the EU?

I belive that in the long term the impact is insignificant.
In the short term however... How knows.
How long is a term? Well. EU bureaucracy are working very slow.
Britain if Brexit has to renegotiate their trade deals with every other EU country seperatly.

Don't forget Deutschland's ally France with their Napoleonic grandeur.

French authorities stop aid convoy

French Minister says Britain will be " a little country on the world scale"

Well, this "little country" stopped you at Waterloo & gave your grandiose leader his own little island to rule...

America
Britain
Germany
Holland
Sweden

4 EU bloc & 1 outside country all with hopes & fears over Brexit.

If this referendum was called with the sole idea to deal with the frustration of having to fight with Brussels over EU reforms then from what has been seen so far, proves it was a right call.

Unfortunately, with the state of politics in the 21st century, the mood has turned ugly as there is no longer any trust & faith in politics.

Because of that mood, there is the danger that should Britain stay in, all attempts at achieving reforms will fail.

Just look at Cameron's record on this so far - Zilch!

A Finance Minister who provided viable solutions forced out by Teutonic arrogance...

... proves that any reforms will not happen due to that arrogance so the only option left is...

...BREXIT.

Time to show that arrogance that NO means NO & OUT means OUT. Earn your salaries honestly as we are not going to continue to finance your corruption.

SWEXIT

Yes, Britain is our main ally.
From a political standpoint, Sweden will lose its main ally in the European Union if Britain goes, with the two countries sharing the same perspective in almost 90% of votes.

An opinion that I think most of we Swedes could agree with.
"It's all just companies and big corporations getting big money and all of these back-room treaties that none of the EU population is involved with"

However from an economical standpoint Germany is our biggest trade partner.
But since it's only companies and big corporations that are getting big money, I'm all in for Swexit.

I like the name "Fixit" that is Finland's equivalent to Brexit.
Hyvä Suomi:)

Chinese businesspeople too :) I read that somewhere on the Beeb yesterday... I'll try and find it a bit later. For now:

French Minister says Britain will be " a little country on the world scale"

Well, this "little country" stopped you at Waterloo & gave your grandiose leader his own little island to rule...

...Elbe.


So if a British Minister wanted France to stay in the EU he'd say:

"No, no, no. Stay in. You're better off being Germany's little b*tch"

What's with the "the best way to get you stay is by insulting you!"?

Went over Snark's head too, in the Schoebbels interview.
Who(?) in midst of a Euro and in their right mind says:

"Nein, nein, nein. OF COURSE the UK should stay. They suck at football"

Not really bothered, just as long as there is an F before EU.

After all, isn't the EU doing the F to all the citizens of the EU?

Well they've gone and done it to Spain now. Spanish debt now risen to 100% of GDP so will not be able to grow GDP
enough to pay it down. All because of the Euro, five countries down another 20 odd surely to follow unless the EU breaks up.
Lets hope the UK starts the break up by voting out.

& wasn't Spain the only country that stayed within the EU's GDP guidelines?

Just goes to show that the Euro & EU has failed!
