That is typical BWMA-stupidity. They make it appear that Britain has high
economic growth because of its use of ifp, while the present sluggisch
economic growth in The Netherlands, Germany and France is caused by the use of
SI in these countries.
Actually Han that in itself makes no
sense as UK industries have been metric for years, if not decades.
Their claim is that the UK can
manage their own affairs and if they became "more" integrated in Europe, their
wonderful economy would be just like much of the Euro area. The
thinking is that the UK doesn't need the EU and if they UK were to leave the
EU then the UK could effectively nullify all EU metric directives that apply
to the UK. By painting an overly rosy picture of the UK ecoonomy
and a dismal one of the EU they hope to convince enough people to push for the
UK to leave the EU.
The BWMA wants the UKIP to work to
get the UK out of the EU as soon as possible, for the following
reasons:
1.) To prevent EU pressure or
support from amending the road sign laws from ever
happening.
2.) To prevent the UKMA initiative
from ever taking off.
3.) To prevent the EU labelling
directive from becoming law in the UK.
I'm sure there are more reasons, but
you get the jist.
The higher economic growth in Britain (and Ireland) is caused by their
adoption of the American social-economic model; France, Germany and The
Netherlands use the Rhineland model, a more 'social' type of capitalism, which
at present has the wind against it.. Strange that Ireland is going metric and
yet has high economic growth, isn't it BWMA?
Unfortunately, the Rheinland model
is cracking. The competition from China and India has created somewhat
of an economic crisis in Europe. The cradle to grave free medical care,
the large extensive vacations, the 32~35 h workweek are all having a negative
economic impact on the EU. Thus, you can see in the news where company
after company in the EU is enacting "reforms" that will in the long term
create an American style economy in Europe. Some companies have
successfully ended the perks by threathening to cut jobs and move them to the
new EU countries unless the workers agree to reforms.
The British economy must not be as
rosy as they would have you believe. The British interest rates are at
4~5 % compared to 1~2 % everywhere else. This means they have to keep
the rates high to attrack foreign investment and the pound high in
value. High interests make everything in the country expensive and eat
deep into peoples savings. Many more then need be then get caught in
credit debt in order just to make ends meet.
The unemployment seems to be
low in the UK, but how much of that is due to voodoo calculations?
How many part-time or under paid jobs are counted as full employment?
I'd like to hear from some of the UK posters to this site the story behind the
UKs economic data. how much is real and how much is fake? Who well
do people live? How do they make ends meet? Does ones salary carry
one well from pay-cheque to pay-cheque?
The BWMA/UKIP partnership
claims the Irish economy is in a slump and the average Irish citizen can't
afford to buy a new home as the cost is prohibited.
