WITH only a few weeks to go before we leave the EU it is incomprehensible we still have no precise details on how Brexit will affect our economy in the short, medium or longer term.

This includes the balance of payments, the exchange rate, imports, exports, jobs, wages dividends, pensions etc.

From the largest multi-national to the single person self-employed trader, none of them would have allowed this to happen.

They would have secured contracts to ensure they had control of their essential supply chains and a market for their services.

At a more basic household level, when someone is buying a house, or a car, or even changing their gas provider they would carry out a cost benefit analysis before they signed up to an agreement.

Therefore I wonder how many pro-Brexiteers would allow a third party to negotiate their financial affairs, agree to a contract without their consent, while having no say in the eventual outcome.

Common sense would identify a second referendum on the final Brexit deal is needed.
