ON estate agent Ian Street’s column looking at how the property market would be affected by Brexit.

Posted by TigerTigerBurningBright: “Fortunately the short run to the referendum should mean any impact from uncertainty has less time to affect the market and we remain confident that it will be business as usual with healthy sales activity born from the imbalance between supply and demand.” Yup - you got it, the property market is more important than the EU!

Posted by Phyllus Jones: Balanced comments on the pros/cons of the UK changing back from EU province to self-governing independent country. There is going to be uncertainty when we vote to leave but that is balanced by the UK taking back the ability to control its own destiny. At present 80 per cent of all new laws governing our lives are originated on the Continent and come into the UK as EU directives that are automatically rubber-stamped at Westminster. Only 20 per cent is originated by our UK MPs. So the current situation is similar to Florida, with laws coming from the central government in Washington and other laws coming from the Florida state government. The EU however is already a much tighter federal country than the US, Canada or Australia, in that a minority of new law originates with the central government of those federal countries, whereas about 80 per cent of new law comes from the central government of our EU federal country. Brexit to me represents a breath of fresh air. A return to the UK being a country. I so look forward to June 23.
