You do not see it happening but qualified people, who actually know what they are talking about, do.

Even under very optimistic assumptions, the sum of the static and dynamic trade losses would be almost 2.2% of GDP. More pessimistic calculations would lead to a long-term loss of almost a tenth of national income.

Where does that say 10% or more people are likely to lose their jobs if we lose the EU (ergo "massive" job losses)?

What's good for British scientists might not necessarily be good for British science ;) . There's no reason to assume that funding for scientific research in the UK would drop if we left the EU. Under our current EU arrangements with the EU, we give them a lot of money, they give us a bit back in the rebate, then spend a fraction of the rest in the UK. If we left the EU, we wouldn't have to give them as much money, and the savings could be used to fund more scientific research in the UK than currently happens. Times have changes since before the EU, the value of scientific research is understood.

This referendum has put me in the horrible position of feeling vicarious joy at the bloody infighting of the Tory party on the one hand and the knowledge that Cameron's credibility is probably going to be a key factor in delivering a Remain vote on the other.

Whats the big deal about that fact that the party is split. Its every constituency for themselves. Why should there be a party line? How does a party line help the country. People should have a right to vote for what they believe in.

Quite, when they all agree they're "all the same/robots", but when they disagree with each other their party is "split"....can't win really.

Why would it have to be 10% or more to count as massive? And why is your judgement the best to use?

10% would be 3.1m workers, or 2.3m full time. So, in your view, 2.2m people losing their job wouldn't count as massive job losses?!

So essentially what you are saying is that the UK will enter a great depression if it leaves the EU?

Lol.

Carry on arm flappin', it's amusing.
