I was just looking at some charts, and Britain is expected to be the largest economy in Europe by 2030 04 50 or something, and I was looking at our disappointing growth rates, and I wondered, is it possible? Discuss.

It is possible but,we'd have to tighten up on immigration. Stop spending pointless money and just deport these money wasting illegal immigrants.

Doubtful, because for the UK to increase its economy, it is going to have to become a financial trading power, IE A consumerist nation, and to do that, it would have to feed the German and Dutch giants.

This came out thursday.

The European commission has cut its 2011 growth forecast for the UK to just 1.1%, as it warned that output across the troubled eurozone will come to a virtual standstill by the end of the year.

Brussels said a slowdown in the global economy and the impact of the sovereign debt crisis affecting the single currency would weaken Britain's economic activity in the second half of the year.

Following the meagre 0.2% rise in output in the nine months to June 2011, the commission said it was cutting its growth forecast for the UK economy from the previous estimate of 1.7%.

George Osborne has already admitted that he will be forced to lower his own growth estimates for the UK from 1.7% when he makes his autumn statement on the economy in late November. Thursday's report from the commission chimes with the view of many analysts in the City.

Brussels said it still expected growth in the eurozone to be 1.6% this year, with stronger than anticipated activity in the first half of 2011 providing a cushion for a slowdown in the second half of the year.

"The outlook for the European economy has deteriorated. Recoveries from financial crises are often slow and bumpy," economic and monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn said.

"The EU economy is affected by a more difficult external environment, while domestic demand remains subdued. The sovereign debt crisis has worsened, and the financial market turmoil is set to dampen the real economy," he added.

In its half-yearly forecasts, the commission said Germany would act as the main engine for eurozone growth, with Europe's biggest economy now expected to expand by 2.9% this year, up on the previous 2.6% forecast. Growth in France, the Netherlands and Italy will, however, be weaker than envisaged.

And this matters how?

If anything that means we can have a lower reliance on British and Dutch and Russian Energy Imports, which means crap economies for you.

Population = workforce.

But the UK is said to be the largest economy and largest population in Europe by 2050 or whatever.

Where?

If anything, you are becoming a crap shoot of a nation. Financial nations usually have to ride the coat tails of a more powerful producer nation, IE Germany. Germany is the main supplier of goods to the UK, any rise would result in the rise in Germany. Besides, Germany is already the most industrial country in the EU, and to reach its scale, it would take 100 or so years.

The UK has a very advanced services sector, and with thousands more offices coming, the UK can service its way.

Depends, if the Eurozone goes under, then larger economies like Germany have more to lose, and with some miracle of holy proportions, maybe we could end up top trumps.

Want to know how China rose to power?

America became service based, and with a large serviced base economy, you need to use another country to produce things, which Germany can and does do. Secondly, lets think about it like this, Germany is mixed. It has service and it has industrial. Its a win win. Focusing on one area tanks economies, and that is why the world is so screwed atm.

Why? If the Euro goes, Germany will lose some, but nothing much. Germany is a prime freaking trade partner throughout the world, and just because you lose a single currency with only bolster German banks as people will invest in new industry inside Germany, especially with the new green boom.

It will lose the most of the non- crappy economies, due to ownership of bonds of the likes of Greece and Italy, will that really affect them that much? Probably not.
