I think most people have had reservations about the EU for years (I'd be one) but never felt strongly enough to do something more than moan because life was still pretty good in spite of what they were doing. Things have been steadily unravelling ever since the likes of the Greeks were helped to cook their books . People have had a good number of years in which to directly feel the effects of the EU's flawed policy and the extent to which the UK has been putting in far more than it's been getting out with very little influence amongst the old team of Germany and France who've been running the show to suit themselves for years. It's rather like the migration situation - people are often very generous until they start to see/feel the adverse effects on their daily lives.

It'd be great if we could have all the pros and cons spelled out in a clear, unbiased manner and then vote but I think after all these years most people believe that will never happen. The decision then boils down to whether dissatisfaction with what we've experienced at the hands of the EU and the rapidly worsening situation in Europe is sufficient to make getting out a no brainer on the basis that things could hardly be worse.

I think we're at the point where this decision is going to be made by a great many people on an emotional, intuitive, level and only time will allow us to make a judgement about which would have been the best option.
