Month 1: Some types of food and medicine are in short supply in both the UK and ROI kickstarting an inflationary bubble.
Month 1: The corporates who have until now kept out of the debates put their contingency plans into place with a few thousand workers offered redundancy or relocation.
Month 3: the pound stabilises at its new normal, brits holiday at home and the revival of the seaside towns begin.
Month 24: investment in the UK has dried up as companies choose to grow their businesses inside the EU. Those workers who did not relocate are still out of work, joined by a lot of their colleagues. Unemployment hits record highs, strikes are on par with the early 70’s and social unrest causes large scale riots between extremists from all political leanings and liberals.
Year 4: referendum to rejoin loses narrowly in vote marred by violence and the burning down of dozens of polling stations.
Year 10: Farming becomes more efficient and we lead the world in sustainable food production.
Year 40: the economy is rebalanced and we have a vibrant workforce with similar levels of GDP to where they would have been had we not left. GDP continues to grow faster than the EU average from this point. Until a meteorite hits the planet or AI tries to wipe us out.
