In the light of the many bad omens about the future direction of the economy, we shouldn't overlook the loss of influence Britain will suffer in the coming years. The Independent has an article about this HERE. It talks of US focus already turning to Berlin and the inescapable fact that increasingly decisions will be made in discussions with the USA, China and the EU. Britain will, for the first time since 1973, be on its own forced to rely far more on our own economic and military power. As the author says:
Yes, Britain is free of one of the most complicated institutional structures in history. But political freedom can also mean political isolation. Just ask Russia.
