Democracy, you could argue, is pretty much like sunshine, cold beer and ice
cream. They’re all great —until you have too much.
Too much Democracy? That’s not possible, is it?
In fact it may be. Some economists and political scientists are suggesting
as much in the wake of the Brexit vote and the subsequent wave of “Leave
the EU” sentiment that’s sweeping across Europe. And you can look to a big
honking use case right here in the US to make that argument.
It’s way too early to tell how Brexit will affect the economy of the UK at
this point — although early days have been rocky enough with the crashing
pound, stumbling stock market, and political chaos. But I would argue the
biggest negative of Brexit will be the messiness and uncertainty that ensues
. The UK will be forced to rewrite tax rules, as well as draft and implement
new legislation. It will have to craft a new relationship with Europe. And
the UK will more than likely haggle over referendums in Scotland and
Northern Ireland. An OECD report says Brexit could cost the UK 3.3% of its
GDP by 2020.
Despite those headaches and risks, “Leavers” across Europe have taken up
the call — including those in France, the Netherlands, Italy, Hungary,
Austria and Finland. A Citibank note says “… political risks in Europe are
high and probably rising, in our view, and ‘referendum risk’ contributes
significantly to these risks …” Those risks include outright withdrawal
from the EU, scuttling of EU policies, and shying away from EU-centric
policies that could bolster local economies. Citi notes that Italy and
Hungary will likely both have referendums on matters pertaining to the EU
this year. |
