Evaluation can only be done in a few years when it's business as usual with all new trade agreements in place.
I believe UK got around 50% trade from within EU, and 50% outside EU.
I also read that the "inside EU" part was slowly shrinking.

Not many times that I do agree with you Scott but this time I definitely do. We are heading into a black hole without any prospect of a suitable leader. Even worse than the outlook for the nations football team😟Farage resigns then. Who is left from the leave camp? (The answer is no one is left they are all right wing as fk Scott) Drag us out then run for the hills. Who you going to go with? Michael Gove? Andrea Leadstrom? God help us. Slimey shouldered bastards the lot of them

The EU is the largest trading partner of the UK. It accounted for 44% of the UKs goods and services exports in 2015, though this figure has decreased compared to previous years. It also delivered 53% of the UKs imports. Exports of services to the EU are significant: in 2014, the UK exported services worth £84 billion to the EU (37% of all UK exports to the EU). UK imports of services were worth £63 billion (22% of all imports from the EU). It's okay though, Douglas Carswell (UKIP's only Westminster MP, unless UKIP have already sacked him ) said we'd probably be better off in 20 years time. Thanks, Douglas. You're a star.
This assumes the EU still exists in a couple of years. When are you joining us Smiley?

I would be happy to leave, but the Dutch economy is pretty small, and very intertwined with the German one.
So for us it would be financial suicide. I did have high hopes that when the UK would leave, the other states would also up the call for reforms, but other then Poland, it did not happen.
With the growth crazy feckers in Brussels, i think they will just add Ukraine and Turkey to have a large number again.
So we continue rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as far as i see it.

+1 (that's almost half of the population already ) And I wouldn't call the Dutch and German economies intertwined, it's more the Dutch economy depends on the German one. One issue is that the UK voting to leave is fuel for other countries with the same sentiment, but what is happening now in the UK, where the country seems to be completely divided without any leadership, is not setting a great example for the rest of us. I do think that the UK has some great opportunities outside of the EU, but it does take some good leadership to make use of them. And for some reason good leadership in current times seems to be a real precious asset.
So get your act together, your asses in gear and turn the whole mess into a success. More countries will follow. France will be the only one left in the EU and will vote that from then on, French will be the leading language for the whole of the EU.

It's fun watching Londoners squirm. it was worth the out vote just to see them being screwed over for once instead of them screwing the rest of the country

Glad to see most of you exit bunch have such a robust, indepth knowledge of economics.... ...Most Londoner's properties have gone up an average of 18.5% each year for the past 4 years & previous to that, over 8% for several years. That means they'll have Plenty of equity left in their property in the future, when yours is worth nothing! Ah, but don't worry, at least you have a good pension to fall back on? ....Don't worry, put your fingers back in your ears, it'll all be ok, as Farage will sort it out.It's fun watching Londoners squirm. it was worth the out vote just to see them being screwed over for once instead of them screwing the rest of the country

Haha, someone took that a little too personally
As for your concern, we have 6 properties, 4 of those thankfully not in the UK or EU, so I'm all set for the future thanks.

Shame the economy isn't based on whippets, flat caps, meat pies and Tetleys and then it wouldn't matter if London got screwed over.It's fun watching Londoners squirm. it was worth the out vote just to see them being screwed over for once instead of them screwing the rest of the country

How is rediculous housing prices in London a good thing?
With every house flipping show (Thank you for Sarah Beeny by the way) confronting searchers to look 1 village further if your budget is not 750.000 pounds.

The problem is that our economic model isn't just based on London, our model is London. It sucks the country dry and is unwilling to share its wealth.
Despite how the capital perceives us, not everyone is the north is poor and irrelevant. However the problem is that a large majority of people are very poor, and a lot of this is down to the city, its banks and the politicians that serve them. It's understandable that people fought back in the only way they could.
Btw, when I refer to Londoners I'm talking about the city, not people from greater London. No need for anyone to get personal, such things are reserved for the uneducated northerners
