Have you seen Nissan sales in Europe over the last decade ? They've dropped something like 50% !
Their offerings are mediocre at best.

Well of course Nissan would have to reconsider manufacturing in the uk and exporting to Europe if there’s a 10% tax to do so... hardly surprising.

Anyone who works in a manufacturing company that exports and voted for Brexit is a fucking idiot.
We buy in something like 60% of components and sub assemblies from European suppliers and export 80% of our product and yet people working there still voted for Brexit. Utterly unbelievable.
I can imagine Nissan isn’t too dissimilar to those figures given it’s the same industry.

Quite interesting listening to my family compare this to Sweden wanting to enter the EU in 95. The referendum was pretty much split like here almost 50/50. The old people generally didn’t want to join the EU, the young and manufacturers did. Work prospects were pretty bleak as getting out was pretty hard, the industry wasn’t sector great either.
Sweden did pretty good out of joining though, I believe per capita wealth increased 100% after 2 decades and firms like Ikea and all the paper manufacturers went on to rule in Europe. Of course things got a bit sour over the last 5 years with the immigration from the Middle East as with all of Europe but they got 20 good years out of it.

Strength in numbers. There is no greater good when a whole industry collapses, where do you put the millions of people who are out of work? There’s no industry in the UK with millions of jobs spare to absorb them all and state welfare will collapse with that much pressure on it.
Then there’s the fact we’ll have nothing to export and trade with so even the indirectly supported domestic industries will suffer from a lack of spending.
But I guess once we’re in a full blown recession we’ll have ‘taken back control’.

I’d take a retrospectively ‘guaranteed’ 3.5% per annum rise every year for twenty years for doing the exact same job as I do now. I’d take your arm off for that.

Using UK GDP per capita data from HERE, I get the following figures as the average % per year for the preceding 20 years. It's tailed off quite a bit since 2015 (and people wonder why....) but historically 3.5% would have been quite low.

Definitely not the same as wealth, but interesting to compare, is RPI. Using data from the ONS, I get the following.

Comparing the raw figures isn’t right though, I’d love the 11% pay rise of the late 80’s and early 90’s but you can get fucked if you think I want the mortgage rates and almost living off beans on toast life style of the time. The 2000’s are also recession inducing levels of increase and we’ve learned a lot from that since the 2008 crash (given, a lot of the blame is to be put into banks allowing massive borrowing rates which people couldn’t afford even on big increase per annum).Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 7:09 pmThat's not the same thing.

Growth is good and healthy, but too much growth is unhealthy and the last thirty or so years have taught us that much like the 2016 onwards figures show us stagnation is an equal killer.

So from 1971-1991, GDP per capita rose at an average of 11.09% pa. That's over 700% in total.
