Does anyone know anything about this mob?
"The Centre for European Reform is an award winning independent think-tank devoted to making the EU work better, and strengthening its role in the world. We are pro-European but not uncritical."
https://www.cer.eu/
My reason for asking is that a staunch remainer recently sent me the link https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit-costing-uk-500m-a-week-study-says/ claiming that,
"The British economy is 2.5 percent smaller today than if the U.K. had voted to remain in the European Union, according to the Centre for European Reform, a think tank.
In a report published Sunday, the think tank says the U.K. suffers a £26 billion blow to the economy annually, equivalent to £500 million a week, without yet having formally left the bloc."

Are they to be trusted or are they a right dodgy lot?
They certainly appear to have some powerful people -

Any and all views appreciated. Thanks

They're all liars.
What it boils down to is do we want to rule ourselves or do we want to be ruled by the Germans and the French and be an EU colony? |

Thank you Dr. I automatically assumed that after reading their spiel.
Just assuming their numbers are correct, how much lower would you conservatively guestimate them to be had the remoaners and the Gov't accepted democracy from the start and activated Article 50 within a month or two of 23/6/14? |

These are desperate times for the remainers and the EU itself, with the clock ticking which brings the leaving date ever nearer.
Desperate times need desperate measures, which is what their invented figures represent if little else. The sooner we're out and able to govern ourselves the better. We might be rats leaving a sinking ship, but at least they can't drag us down with them once we've left. |
