There is currently no promise or assurance we'll be part of the EEA. In fact many Leave people do not support such an option as free movement comes with it.

The UK economy will benefit to the tune of £billions in the first year after we leave.

This is a fact is it?

Medical and science research will not simply stop. The UK pays into the EU to then get money back in the form of funding. The UK will now be in control of this money and can choose to fund whatever UK based medical, science, art or other research it chooses.

I am not sure to what extent our relationship with cross-border science will be impacted but many research projects are across borders. The idea we'll just have British scientists doing British research is rubbish, it isn't how the scientific community works.
Then again given Gove's stance on experts we'll probably get rid of funding for those so-called 'scientists' and give the money to the everyday non-elitied people on the street to do research. Frankly I think the British people have had enough of scientists telling us how to best cure diseases anyway.

The UK is likely to negotiate freedom of labour movement though, in exchange for freedom of goods movement.

Thus defeating the point many people are voting for no?
