The poll for the Observer also found 82 percent of experts said family incomes would also be hit hard by voting Leave on June 23 and 61 per cent thought it would fuel unemployment.

“600 economists shows 9/10 believe Brexit would damage UK economy”

Well, that’s 540 votes to stay in the EU right there!

But people RIGHTFULLY don’t care about “economists” who have BIG CONFLICT OF INTERESTS since they are tied with global business and international finance .

Another scare tactic. These clowns might as well say there will be “mass hunger and war” or”dogs and cats living together” . And you will hear the same tone when Texas secedes for real...

I don’t see Switzerland suffering because they aren’t in the EU.

“Economists” employed by the government, no doubt.

The swiss didn’t suffer during WW2 either. They knew it was another group scam.

a test would be if the government tells which direction the economists tell people they should pee in, and 9 out of 10 economists go and tell people to pee in that direction, even if it is upwind.

For some temporary protection of the economy, they’d rather choose subjection over independence.

They can explain to their grandchildren why they aren’t free.

In the short term it would hurt the economy, but it would save the country.

In the preface to the report by The Club of Rome on Global Transformation they cite this poem by Rudyard Kipling:

Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits - and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!

They plan on destroying everything in order to remold it that way they want.

If Europe was Europe I wouldn’t be for Brexit.

But it isn’t Europe, anymore.

Care to expound on that?

Brexit will probably be vote-frauded like the Austrian election.

With extremely few exceptions, when has any economist ever been right about anything. Sounds like a good reason to vote to leave.

If Britain gets out of the EU they will be flooded with business from companies who do not like doing business with the EY - and I’ll wager there are many.

Like asking 600 climatologists funded with grants if global warming exists. Pass the gravy please.
