From: SPB-Cooperator - PM Date: 24 Jul 16 - 10:52 AM It does need to get back on track, for example if UK exits then the rest of Europe seizes all properties owned or part-owned by UK nationals in each country, and if they wish to stay they should pay a market rent + premium to the individual governments to help make up the loss of EU contribution from UK. Clearly living in a different universe. (a fantasy one). That (by any country's definition) would be theft. The current owners, of whatever nationality, have already paid the previous owners for the property. Under what system do you imagine they could be seized? Also, at the same time would we be able to appropriate the property of other EU states here in the UK? We would at least no longer have the French charging us to drive across the River Severn to get home from England. And why should they be able to make up for the loss of our contributions? While we remain a member we continue to pay for our membership. There would be no reason to pay if we leave.
