Now they're admitting it will be "some time" after day 1. When Remain pointed out this exact thing would happen it was PROJECT FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
And they are also now having to admit that we could trade with the rest of the world anyway.
So the benefits of Brexit are?
Trade with the rest of the world - we already could.
Sovereignty – Parliament was always sovereign.
Immigration - We need immigration and we could kick out anybody we didn’t want.
Fishing – We might have more control over fishing rights, but we will have less places to fish when other countries impose rules over us.
The economy – Even a “best case” scenario where we remain in the single market will mean a drop in growth.
Membership costs – It’s not £350m a week, it won’t be used for the NHS and anything we do save on fees will be dwarfed by the economic impact of leaving.
Turkey might join – It’s never going to happen with Greece and Cyprus in the EU. Plus we could have vetoed it anyway.
Democracy – The EU is more democratic than the UK.
Blue Passports – I guess this will have to count as an overall victory for Leave.
