Why do people think a hard-Brexit will work?
I've heard arguments to say that the experts are wrong, but why do you think you are right?
Some people did predict a recession straight after the referendum but a lot of people didn't. If you have a difficult and technical problem in your life (divorce, mortgage, repairing something etc) then you absolutely would seek professional and technical advice. You can disagree with that advice but normally you would have a good reason. If a lawyer gets something wrong, you would say they are a shit lawyer but you wouldn't suddenly decide that you knew more than the entire legal profession.
I am really worried about a no-deal Brexit. I don't understand it completely myself but I know that 40% WTO tariffs would kill some industries. The pound is sinking and we all know that it will go further down in the event of a no-deal. You don't need a prediction to bet on what has already started to happening and goods and services will cost a lot more. Also, money is predicted to leave the country and that would undermine the Governments tax base. That is not to mention, the chaos that would inevitably happen in the short term because we only a have a few months to plan.
Sorry to Brexiteers but it is my country too and I hope that I am wrong but I just can't see this not being a disaster. I can't even see an argument that says it won't be a disaster, whether people voted for it or not.
