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. Después de una oleada de apoyo para el ‘Brexit’ hasta la semana pasada, los partidiarios de la permanencia aumenta-ron en los últimos días y ayer volvieron a resurgir los que están a favor de la salida de la UE. Creo que la permanencia ganará el referéndum, pero la vota-ción será muy ajustada.

The Guardian
Researchers at the Centre for European Reform CER note that if unemployment rises, it is the under 30s who would be most vulnerable. "Economists know a good deal about the impact of recessions on different social groups," Christian Odendahl and John Springford from the CER report. "They have also studied how recessions impact the future earnings of these groups after the economy returns to normal. And the verdict is clear. It is the young and the low-skilled who suffer the most."

22 June 2016
Open democracy
Simon Tilford of the Centre for European Reform has condemned the leading Brexiteers as "libertarian sovereigntists who support further deregulation of the British economy. Their opposition to immigration is aimed at appealing to disenfranchised and insecure voters". This is right, but they are not appealing to their desire for security but a preference for more risk generated by fatalism and loss.
