Since the above comment was deleted, here’s what I was replying to for anyone wondering:
That all sure sounds awfully successful and self-sufficient and “we’re a strong independent nation, we don’t need no big dumb international union”, golly. And yet, here we are talking about the UK asking very nicely for things they had before and rejected.
No, it says that the success/failure of the UK financial services sector is irrelevant to any discussion about the EU and the pros/cons of membership for the UK.
If you look at the wider economic cost/benefit analysis it’s clear as day as to the advantages we had of remaining part of the EU and that could be somewhat clawed back by rejoining the customs union.
If we joined a customs union, we’d be allowing the EU to set our tariff rates. No thanks.
What about the cost benefit analysis of being out of the corrupt CAP crap? It takes the largest chunk of budget, rewards rich landowners and is an environmental disaster.
A bit more important than protecting the sale of shit-filled whelks to the French
That tells you exactly nothing about what difference you would have got had we not left the union. The articles I linked above go into great detail about it, but I assume yo haven’t read them.
The OBR forecast is for a 0.27% hit to growth per year over 15 years mostly due to a loss in comparative advantage
What’s not in the forecast is any benefit from regulating using common law, which is worth at least 0.7% extra growth per year
In 2001, Professor Paul Mahoney demonstrated that countries with legal systems based on the
common law not only have more developed financial markets, but also experienced faster
economic growth in the second half of the 20th century compared to civil law countries.36 Based
on data from 102 countries, the analysis shows that between 1960 and 1992, the real per capita
GDP growth for common law countries grew, on average, 0.71% faster than the civil law
countries.
Yes, hi, I misinterpreted your comment because I’d just woken up. Instead of making a big thing about it, I simply deleted it when I realised a few seconds after posting. But sure.

I’d prefer a functioning economy but what do I (and every economist in the world not on farage’s silver) know eh?

Ooh line go up! Big woop!

Why is that the measure the OBR uses then?
Literally from your source lol
