It's pretty obvious that Germany has already agreed with the UK that it would support an agreement similar to Norway. That agreement allows free movement between it and the EU. It's also a pretty good trade deal for both.
This was all sorted months if not years ago. You don't risk the stability of the 5th largest economy to a referendum. One man does not have such power, not the Prime Minister or the President.
The Remain campaign was funded by top influential businesses that would be affected by leaving. That does not mean it's bad for the economy, business or its citizens. It's said that prices will drop, mortgages will become easier to attain and wages will increase. Paddy Ashdown was promoting this scenario as being bad for business.
My comments regarding employment and the pound was reference to hockey players.
Bad press sells, the UK is good at it. If you want a balance view Google foreign media stores. The EU has been pressing the remain camp because of instability within the European Union and their plans and little to do with the UK's demise. In fact many European economics that don't hold an agenda have supported the UK to leave. The EU now has to change, they didn't want it, hence the doom scenario, which is basically a smoke screen.
