"Why is the danger of an EU collapse an argument for leaving the EU?" Really? You would want to stay in the house of cards as it falls down? Besides I actually wrote my answer for this in my post. That was: The UK be wise to leave the EU, take the painful couple of year hit while getting it affairs in order, because by that time the EU very well could collapse and the UK will be left as the most powerful and stable county in Europe. "Let's pretend Germany would leave the EU because of the danger of a EU collapse." You miss key facts. Germany are the biggest player in the EU, infact the EU is a project by Germany. They don't want to leave it. But the biggest issue is that Germany and most other EU countrys (Not the UK though) use the Euro as their money. To pull out of the Eu is a huge task to reissue and change their financial systems again. The UK doesn't have this problem as they still use the Pound (£). " The EU is the largest economic area in the world" No its not. Both Asia and North America have higher GDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_continents_by_GDP_(nominal) |
I swear, people have been saying the EU will collapse for nearly as long as people have been saying PC gaming is going to die.
The other problem is it's going to be a lot longer then a couple of years in terms of economic hit. If no deal happens it'll be decades before the UK recovers.
