BTW, SkyData online poll backs this. They show just 36% of 18-24 y.o. voted on #Brexit::https://t.co/zDXoT7Zcyk https://t.co/i6R8ZM2iWM
Seems to me there is insufficient data to reach any strong conclusions about age-preference for #leave or #remain.

Flat trade growth is not an emergency. Prices are down; that may be a disturbing signal but also a great incentive (unless govts muck it up)

UK must choose either to #Leave & grasp own destiny or #remain forever “offside†in EU as Euro-states move to some form of political Union.
No monetary union survives without the controls & legitimacy of political Union (as Delors knew). UK should be voting on #Euro or #Brexit

@leemakiyama True, NZ bit several bullets. I don’t know what pos#Brexitit GBR will do but the IMF analogy (NZ in ‘70s ~ GBR now) is silly.
If GBR votes Thurs to #remain, will the EU thank them? Hah! Are you kidding? They’ll be punished at every turn “pour encourager les autres…â€

snlester I don’t know if the UK will leave the EU, but if it does, the UK/US should quickly negotiate a trade deal to reduce/eliminate tariffs.
The IMF #Brexit study explicitly denies its ‘scenarios’ quantitatively robust. Compa#Brexitexit to NZ loss of UK preferences in late 1970s!
@BaldwinRE Decades, it’s true. But it was new technology in early 1980s. Much faster — and less costly — now.
Not on this, Brian. AU already has one RTA incl. VN (AAFTA) and one still to come (TPP). UK a top investor, market. https://t.co/qZIxNTlP6o
AU should propose an FTA with GBR on the same terms as NZ (trade, investment, competition, labor movement) to begin the day after #Brexit
