Wales Leave leader: "We need EU levels of funding from England"

For every £1 we put into the EU in membership we got something like 40p back... Now for every pound we don't spend on the eu we get to keep £1

Ill let you fill the logic in.

Funny part is that the regions that received the most EU funding (IE North East) are now completely cut off from it.

The Government spend all of their money on London and South East and now the North-South divide will grow even more.

Okay? And none of what we now get to keep is going to go to the places that were getting it, hence why Wales and Cornwall are now grovelling to Parliament.

Under Cameron's government for the last 6+ years Welsh students have had the least Uni debt in the UK. Meanwhile English students even from poorer backgrounds have the highest.

I really don't buy into this meme that the tories suck Wales/Scotland dry when they in fact live off English (Tory voting) taxpayers and have done for some time.

The Bank of England had to offer a £250 billion line of credit to help prevent the mayhem that the referendum result caused and we haven't even left yet, the pound has dropped and the UK has also had it's credit outlook downgraded. The French have also now overtaken us a the world's 5th largest economy.

Any financial gains from leaving have already been cancelled out.

I hope things improve but this doesn't bode well.

It had nothing to do on the impact of the real economy but to ease panic in what is purely speculative currency trading consisting of individuals. The line of credit is unlikely to be essential to the survival but there as a feather bed to rest peoples fears, and its worked well.

We have been downgraded by 1 credit evaluator of several, and god forbid we've been downgraded to the same level that is the backwater third world country of australia.

Britain and France constantly switch around every so often, its all friendly competition we'll catch up!

No leaver thought that there would be immediate economic benefit. If you can show me any point in history where secession or independence declaration has inspired confidence in investment markets you'd have a point but it is always viewed negatively because it is intrinsically uncertain.. We will more than bare the fruits with the fullest independence of our sovereignty.

The cornish have done likewise: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-cornwall-issues-plea-for-funding-protection-after-county-overwhelmingly-votes-in-favour-of-a7101311.html

Honestly I'm feeling it very difficult to have sympathy for those who chose to bite the hand that fed them, but desperately want a hand to replace that one. If the EU was so important to the survival of your area, why did you vote to leave it?

I hope so, I'm of course not wishing doom on us.

Tbh I think we're heading for a Norway style deal.

By no longer being part of the Common Agricultural Policy (the worlds largest subsidy programme) we will save a minimum of £4bn if we rightly don't replace those subsidies. That money can be used to ensure Wales keeps their funding for say a decade.

Hahahahahahahaha

They've made their bed and now they don't want to lie in it.

Tough ****. The rest of us have to suffer the consequences so they should too.

Ditching the CFP which seems to be universally hated by our fisherman isn't a bad thing. I'm in favour of keeping farming subsidies in some form though so the UK industry is still viable.

Whatever we get it will be completely unique, we can't compare a major power, Second biggest net contributor and 3rd biggest direct partner of the EU to Norway, we won't accept unconditional free movement i dont think but we shall see.. we would definitely have to pay them a large amount of that 350m though i think.

Realistically though if you want access to the single market you have to accept free movement. The EU won't compromise a key principle of its existence to appease anyone, let alone a country that's just left as it would undermine the entire European Project.

Subsidies have made the UK agricultural industry the least productive part of the economy and have resulted in zombie firms that are kept alive (milk producers selling at a loss). Take the subsidies away, lower tariffs elsewhere and create an automation fund to increase productivity from farms which survive or want to change produce.

Under no circumstances though should we be handing these people a blank cheque as we are now.

There are many alternative models, turkey has a large Trade agreement (though not entirely comprehensive), so do columbia, Vietnam, Ukraine are in the process of getting one and soon to be TTIP... there is no reason why not.
