It is kind of ironic that a Referendum is being offered on E.U. Exit on June 23rd, especially when NO REFERENDUM was granted to UK voters back in the early 1990s when the E.E.C. transmogrified itself into the E.U.

Having worked in E.U. nations from 1997-2004, my own view is that there are most definitely economic benefits from the free movement of labour and goods & services. Politically, however, I can well understand the desires of a people to be ruled by its own elected leaders.

It will probably end up in a fudge, as usual, along the lines of Norway, with the UK dealing with the EU in a free-trade area, at a hefty admission price. If so, my guess is the impact on business will be relatively limited in the short-to-medium term.

And in the long-term we're all dead!
