Life After Brexit: Heaven or Hell?
Cigionline.org, 23/06/2016
As the Brexit debate rages on, the two sides agree on one thing: the enormous economic, political and social implications of the vote that will weigh on the future of the UK. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has called the vote "the most important decision for Britain since 1945” and warned about a "long, agonizing process of disengagement” that would result from an Out vote, with "seismic” economic implications. The Leave campaign also regards the vote as a defining moment in the UK’s relationship with Europe: they view it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape "supra national authority” and obtain "a better deal for the UK”. The battle lines are drawn.
