A quick thread about 'PROJECT FEAR'. #brexit [1]
2/ before the referendum, both sides undoubtedly exaggerated their positions and stretched the truth. I.E. Vote Leave said Turkey was imminently going to join the EU. While Turkey was/is an EU official accession state, it wasn't and isn't joining anytime soon.
3/ Likewise, remainers claimed there would be an emergency budget and Recession immediately after a vote to leave. Neither have transpired, but it would be false to say there hasn't been a negative effect on the UK economy.
4/ what remainers should have said all along is that these negative effects will come about *when the UK actually leaves*; because now, perfectly logical and legitimate concerns are being labelled as 'Project Fear 2.0.' by the ERG cabal and their media allies.
5/ even if we say that 75% of the warnings that experts and industry figures are now giving about a 'no-deal' brexit are baseless (and we don't think that's the case) what about the 25% of concerns that are legitimate?
6/ even if 75% of warnings about no-deal are totally false, the remaining 25% will be enough to give our economy a black eye and make life difficult for millions of UK citizens. Are we really ready to take such a foolish step?
7/ if we choose a brexit based on the precedents of the efta states we could make the transition smoothly and seamlessly. 90% of the problems associated with brexit will simply not apply.
8/ If a decade down the line we found it didn't suit us; we could leave the EEA and efta and move to a new relationship with the EU, but at our own pace, without a ticking clock working against us.
9/ in short, efta/EEA gets us out of the EU, reflects the referendum result and meets the top brexit priorities of the public. We can't risk a no-deal brexit. /End #efta #Brexit
