Germany’s Merkel stresses she hopes Britain will stay in EU

(And if the government thinks Britain would be insane to leave, voters might wonder why it called a referendum in the first place.) The Remain campaign has failed to address voters’ concerns over immigration and has been suspiciously quiet about the further reforms that Europe needs if the union is to work well for its citizens. Nevertheless, polls on the referendum show a significant “undecided” element, which suggests that the average citizen is still not thinking about, far less decided, on how he or she will vote. Then he led the campaign against Brexit. And many want more control over their borders as migration issues mount. He appeared after U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who hadn’t attempted to dress down. They say trade and investment would suffer, triggering a recession, killing jobs, slamming the pound and causing house prices to fall.

ERS chief executive Katie Ghose said: “These surprising findings show that the public are completely switched off by the “big names” of the European Union referendum debate”.

The political divide on Europe is sharpest in the Conservative Party.

It is the right of any European Union citizen to seek work in any other country in the EU.

There is no deadline for that to happen, but once it does there is no turning back.

What will the impact on Indian markets be on what Fed chair Janet Yellen does or what the Bank of Japan does with its interest rates, or if Britain decides to remain with EU?

But how? Below are some of the ways Brexit could have an impact on the US economy. The EU’s roots stretch back to the 1950s when a handful of countries began cooperating, hoping to head off the kinds of divisions that contributed to World War I and II.

If a majority of Britons opt for a Brexit in the June 23 referendum, it will shut the nation out of the single market with its free movement of people, goods and services, Schaeuble said.

Prominent advocates of keeping Britain in the bloc will be alarmed by the evidence that they are in fact encouraging people to back the rival camp.

Unpopular French President Francois Hollande is in the previous year of his term, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel is constrained by domestic resistance to an influx of refugees and to any more risk-sharing with southern euro zone countries.

He said similar reforms already carried out in Britain meant there was now “no job security for working class jobs”. One “remain” campaigner even fantasized about the ideal poster to motivate young pro-EU Brits to take the trouble of actually bothering to register and then vote.

The Remain camp says about three million jobs are linked to the European Union and will be plunged into uncertainty because businesses would be less likely to invest if Britain is outside Europe.

A British vote to leave the European Union could be the start of turbulent times for Europe. The EU is grappling with the world’s worst refugee crisis in 70 years, and populist parties are gaining strength. The economy remains weak and unemployment high. Almost a quarter of people thought the level was 13 percent.

Schaeuble said if it comes to a British exit, that the possibility of other countries following Britain’s lead “cannot be ruled out”.

Leave campaigners say the agreements are treaties with France that are not affected by European Union membership. How we act here will define both Europe and the United Kingdom in the future far more than whether the United Kingdom decides to leave a club where it is already free to “behave” as it sees fit.
