The UK economy is already more than 2% smaller than it would be if we had voted to Remain in the EU & @JuliaHB1 keeps tweeting everyone knew what they voted for. #MindBlownpic.twitter.com/j322seJ6I3

her: "2% smaller than it would be if we had voted to Remain" versus your: "2% less than it might otherwise have grown%". what's the difference? what else is the 'otherwise'?
-
Keyword: Might. Think your reading comprehension could use some work there fella.
-
nope, both conditional indicating hypothetical scenario. same
-
My point is that might indicates uncertainty. JHB is saying that the economy could have grown extra, but could equally not have. The former statement claims with certainty that the economy is smaller based on projections. Geddit?
-
actually I guess what JHB meant is that the amount of growth was 2% less than otherwise , ie. growth of 0.98% rather than growth of 1%, rather than the entire economy being 2% smaller.
