The ones that we are at the bottom of?Given the Government struggles to forecast next Quarter's GDP with any sort of accuracy I'll take their forecasts for 13 years out with a pinch of salt. They also seem to be assuming there would be no cost in GDP to remaining in the EU. As there was no "status-quo" option on the ballot, I'm intrigued how they think that would be the case. For instance if they continue with their plans to harmonise Corporation Tax and we were still a member, could we guarantee that wouldn't have an effect on GDP? How can the Treasury guarantee that if we stayed in then we wouldn't get sucked in to the appalling growth figures seen across Europe?
