LONDON, June 12, (APP): David Cameron warns od ‘lost decade’ after EU out vote
Prime Minister David Cameron warned Sunday that Britain would face a "lost decade" if it voted to leave the European Union as Brexit negotiations gummed up the political system.
Cameron is facing a tough fight to keep Britain in the EU in a June 23 referendum. With under two weeks to go, recent opinion polls suggest growing momentum for the "Leave" camp.
In the latest of a string of TV appearances designed to persuade wavering voters to back "Remain", the premier told the BBC that there could be a "lost decade for Britain" if it votes to leave the European bloc.
"You've got to negotiate your exit," he said. "You've got to negotiate a trade deal with the EU."
"I think we'd be looking at a decade of uncertainty," he added. "It would suck the energy out of our government and our country."
A Sunday Times/YouGov online poll found that Cameron's "Remain" campaign is currently lagging the "Leave" side by 42 percent to 43 percent.
A further 11 percent of people surveyed said they did not know how they would vote and four percent said they would not take part in the ballot.
