Lol. You carry on believing that. Meanwhile, in the real world, the EU is the only declining trading block in the world.

Commission forecasts 2017 euro area growth of 1.5% and EU growth of 1.6% hindrances to growth and the weakening of supportive factors. Economic growth in Europe is expected to continue at a moderate pace, as recent labour market gains and rising private consumption are being counterbalanced by a number of hindrances to growth and the weakening of supportive factors. In its autumn forecast released today, the European Commission expects GDP growth in the euro area at 1.7% in 2016, 1.5% in 2017 and 1.7% in 2018 (Spring forecast: 2016: 1.6%, 2017: 1.8%). GDP growth in the EU as a whole should follow a similar pattern and is forecast at 1.8% this year, 1.6% in 2017 and 1.8% in 2018 (Spring forecast: 2016:1.8%, 2017: 1.9%). |

Er, you'd expect developing countries to develop faster than developed ones. That's what it means. And if they're growing share someone has to lose share.

It actually is growing and will continue to grow for the next few years, albeit at a modest pace. Latest update from November :

Basically flat over the last 10 years. Nothing to be proud of. Especially when the U.K. Has created more jobs than the entire EU put together in the last 6 years.

Basically the growth of UK, EU and G7 countries have virtually mirrored each other in the last few years, any differences are marginal and almost random. Look:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/chartimage?ur...r2016/fd73df70 But as many people state on this thread already, which looks like some people need constant reminding of............ It's because we are still in the EU. Try as hard as you like, that fact cannot be altered or just ignored as irrelevant. |

Still doesn't explain why all other blocks share of world trade is growing. The EU is declining. Its share of world trade is due to halve again by 2025.
It's not a failing of the EU that it's not growing trade as fast as places like China. |

Cameron's claim: "For the first five years I was Prime Minister our economy created more jobs than the rest of the EU put together" 7 June 2016 Actual facts: 1. The definition Cameron used to get this result wasn't new jobs but people moving from one job to another. ie horizontal movement between jobs caused by low pay and job insecurity caused, zero hour contracts, temporary roles and job dissatisfaction. So Cameron just spinning the figures again. 2. These figures only hold true for the first 3 months of each year as there is less job movement at the start of the year in the EU, whereas the UK sees large numbers of people wanting to start the year in a new role. Again due to job dissatisfaction. 3. Germany alone had higher employment growth than the UK over the period. Other countries such as Italy & Spain brought down the average as their economies crashed. However, jobs growth in the EU was much greater than the UK in 2015 as the employment figures in Italy & Spain have been recovering. 4. The UK has seen the biggest fall in wages among the world's richest nations since 2007. Falling 10.4% between 2007 & 2015 compared to a 23% rise in Poland, a 14% rise in Germany, and 11% in France. Also proving that immigration did not cause the wage drop. https://fullfact.org/europe/has-uk-c...t-eu-combined/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36903032 |

Of course it does! All other trade blocs include developing countries, you'd expect them to grow faster than developed ones, that's why they're called developing countries. And if they all grow share it will be at the expense of developed ones.

For goodness sake, I give up. You're saying all other trading blocks only contain developing countries. That's news to me.
The us market has shrunk as a percentage of world trade, however both the us and eu are still growing. The uk has done very well within the eu, it must be very hard for you to admit it but it is there for everyone to see. |
