The Economists for Brexit launched on the 28 April 2016 was a group of eight independent, leading economists who were convinced of the strong economic case for leaving the EU. In their opinion, debate on the economic merits of whether the UK should remain in the EU had become overwhelmed by the Government's Project Fear campaign. Each of the eight economists had become exasperated by the scaremongering and often economic illiteracy of this campaign. At the same time, the group believed that whilst there were a substantial number of economic arguments to support Brexit, they were yet to be made in public. The purpose of this group was to explain the very clear economic arguments in favour of Brexit, offering voters - who were crying out for clarity on the economics of Brexit facts based on proven economic models, as opposed to speculation. The key points in their launch report were: Summary of views: + Brexit will result in a better economic outcome than remaining in the EU. + The UK does not need to do a trade deal to trade. It already trades extensively with many countries across the globe under the rules of the WTO and can continue to do so with EU countries in the future (in the same way that the US, Japan and China does). Leaving the EU will decrease prices and boost GDP. |
