The local campaign to keep Britain in Europe

Sunday 3 January 2016

Some excellent new year reading on EU from Prospect magazine


There are some excellent articles on EU issues on the Prospect magazine site (and of course I recommend subscribing..)

Here eminent economist George Magnus puts it plainly:

" a vote to leave would have deleterious effects on the UK economy, business confidence, foreign investment in the UK—including the much-vaunted influx of Chinese investment capital. Sterling would probably take a plunge, and the cost to jobs of all this would dwarf the excited and false consciousness estimates made by Brexit enthusiasts over the costs to Britain of EU membership and immigration."

And here leading pollster (and local resident) Peter Kellner talks about how the Remain campaign can best put a positive case:
