Not sure I follow your logic. Your point, (raised a long time ago by Ukip – Farage if I recall) has been debunked time and again.

It was concluded that a slowdown in the housing market and construction industry (a fall-out of the 2008 recession) was the fundemental problem. Not EU migration (0.14%).

Do you honestly believe the UK will be able to sever all ties with the entire planet?

no...just the EU

Koeman doesn't understand that bi-lateral trade deals are not exclusive to the EU.

Why do people keep stating that there will be no immigration if we leave the eu, ofcourse there will be how do you think people outside of the eu get work over here anyway? they get a work permit or the equivalent, eu citizens will be able to apply the same way im sure

"Why do people keep stating that there will be no immigration if we leave the eu"

Don't think anyone has tbh. When referring to leaving The EU and immigration it means the revocation of Freedom of Movement with EU countries. It's going to be one of the bog stumbling blocks to get over in negotiations as it is a founding principle of The EU.

I understand May is to visit India to discuss the potential of new trading agreements.

The UK have actually been in discussions with India for the last eight years relating to a trade agreement.

While there are many complexities, part of the impasse has related to migration. The UK refusing to budge on bilateral terms.

This will be replicated wherever the UK decide to trade. It’s therefore absolute lunacy to expect migration to drop - if the country is to remain solvent. While EU migration may reduce, this will be offset by migrants from the rest of the world.

Those discussions have been based on us being members of the EU so the EU tariffs have to be applied. Once we are outside the EU it becomes a lot more of an attractive deal with India not having tariffs enforced on them. It will put us in a lot stronger position to negotiate with them.

In fact, thinking about it, if we are able to negotiate a lower tariff with the EU on exports to them and able to import tariff free from places like China and India we will be in a very strong position as a gateway from the rest of the world to Europe. I cant really see it happening but that could make us incredibly important in world trade.

Yes that's true. But the deal would still be subject to international trading rules. Eg WTO.

Sorry, should have added, as the UK will have to maintain a trading relationship with the EU, WTO tarriffs would apply.

we don't have to mantain a trading relationship with the EU, another made up fact

The EU Canadian trade deal has taken seven years and it's still not complete. That is all you need to know about the EU - completely unworkable. A protection racket. Instead of sending aid to Africa why not trade fairly with them instead of giving billions - like the £400,000 to the billionaire Sheik in the UK who has a farm - to not grow any food because to do so would create food mountains.
The anti-competitive tariffs that destroy the UK solar industry from buying cheap panels from China to protect German solar panel manufacturers. That went well for us - not.
The 13% of EU laws we've voted against since 2009 that we have to accept as law.
We need to be able to pick and choose to suit laws, trade, and things that are fair to all.

Although the whole world has collapsed around me and my holidays have become slightly more expensive, I would still vote to leave.

To be honest, had a known pre-vote that by simply

I understand with the EU leaders that Theresa May shouldnt expect to be able to take part in the decision making and a lot of the EU summit meetings.

But if the decisions affect the UK then she should be involved!

Also if you try to exclude the UK from these meetings then the decent thing to do would be to stop requiring the UK to pay its membership fee

Whether May is there are not is pretty much irrelevant. As she won't be involved (directly).

As there's no-one in government (nor the UK) qualified to negotiate EU severance, it has been outsourced. Ironically to EU negotiators.
