Brytyjski instytut statystyczny podał w czwartek, że tylko w 2015 r. ludność Zjednoczonego Królestwa wzrosła o 500 tys. osób, do 65,1 mln osób. 2/3 z tego wzrostu wynika z imigracji.Jednak Ian Bond, dyrektor Centre for European Reform powiedział "Rzeczpospolitej", że spadek dochodów Brytyjczyków, a także problemy z infrastrukturą wynikają z polityki surowych oszczędności budżetowych prowadzonej przez Davida Camerona od 2010 r. "Problemy emigracji, to była fałszywa debata" mówi Bond.

“This idea is legally dubious. Article 50 was not employed for a departure of Greenland as it was not yet in the EU law book. But even if it had existed at that time, it would not be applicable to Greenland anyway, as it was not Denmark leaving the Community, but parts of its territories,” said Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska of the Centre for European Reform and Adam Lazowski.

In the most illuminating of the many quick reactions to the vote, the CER's John Springford rightly writes: "The best way to manage the economic risks would be for the EU to make a quick offer for the UK to join the European Economic Area" - know as the "Norway option".

Británicos, ¿‘in’ o ‘out’ de la Unión Europea?
23 June 2016
Publimetro
Las encuestas de opinión dan resultados muy estre-chos, lo que hace que esta votación sea muy difícil de predecir.

Creo que la permanencia ganará el referéndum, pero la vota-ción será muy ajustada.
