I also love the brexiteers argument of how the EU is going to collapse after the UKs contribution goes.
To plug the hole due to the 'missing' UK's money after Brexit, the 27 EU members would have to increase their EU membership fee from the present 1% GNI (GNI is similar to GDP) to 1.1% GNI. Shocking.
The 'missing' UK's net contributions to the EU budget will be about 10 billion € per year.
There are about 445 million people in the EU27.
So the missing UK's money equals to
= 22.50 € per year per EU27 citizen
= 1.90 € per month
= 0.40 € per week
= 0.06 € per day
The EU has its problems of course but the UK leaving isn't going to make it go bust.
