The problem with that is, the predictions for the disaster that will befall Britain in the event of Hard Brexit have become so exaggerated at this point that the UK could sink into the Atlantic Ocean and Brexit would look like a success because it's still less than what Ronald and Jorge said would happen.

Obviously when you plan something this so close to an election, it's going to turn into an electoral statement. If she had waited just 3-4 months longer before triggering article 50, she might have gotten a better deal. Theresa May really did screw up right from the start all along the way.

Not really, because any definite consequences would only be observable on the long-term. On the short-term the only news people will get is the initial shock.
Claim: Before the EU referendum George Osborne claimed up to 820,000 jobs could be lost within two years if Britain chose to leave.
Fact: More Britons are in work now than at any time since records began. In the first three months of [2018] about 32 million people over the age of 16 were in work.
Similarly the employment rate was also at its highestāaround 76% of UK adults aged 16 to 64 were employed (or around 31 million).
Claim: In May 2016, the Treasury said: āBritainās economy would be tipped into a year-long recession, with at least 500,000 jobs lost and GDP around 3.6% lower, following a vote to leave the EU.
Fact: There has not been a recession, and there were also 317,000 more people in employment from June to August 2018, compared with the same period in 2016.

saxi is right. The speculation has become nonsensical. I've seen stories about how Brexit will cause traffic to get worse, air pollution to increase, supermarkets to run out of food, all sorts. According to the Illuminati propaganda machine, the only thing that can happen to a country if it leaves the EU is to become some sort of Mad Max wasteland.

mrswdk wrote:So in summary: you agree Brexit is not going to be a disaster, but MEP candidates who favour EU unity will still try to spin Brexit as a disaster in order to get elected.
Sounds about right.

I mean politicians are opportunists. If they find something to exploit to further their campaigns, you can be damn well sure they will, whatever it is. European elections are due end of may. The closer we get to that date, the more we will hear about it. It doesn't seem too much of a leap to think europrogressives will make a big deal out of every big and small problem the UK will face post-Brexit. Just as eurosceptics make a big deal out of every big and small problem concerning migration.

I had an advent calendar this Christmas and now that I'm not a kid the excitement was totally lost on me (it was just a good excuse to have some chocolate every morning). But now we have a new advent calendar that actually gets me tingly: the Independence Calendar.
