You are forgetting that we can still trade with Europe just not as an EU member.
Yes, we lose the right to vote but then the EU wasn't listening to us anyway.
If we pick a model that works for us and we pay less to trade, the EU still has the problem of making up the loss of the British contribution. I wonder who will pick up the tab.
If they treat us badly other nations are going to see the EU's true colours and that will stir more resentment and more desire to leave.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of France's elections next year. I wonder if Mr. Hollande will change his mind and his attitude if the National Front make major gains. After all leaders only really take notice when it's their job on the line, which is why they can happily stand by issuing the usual platitudes when your job is on the line.
I don't see the EU worried about British families and workers. They just want to get rid of us. It's a bit like finding out that your so-called best friend actually detested you and only hung out with you because you were buying their drinks.
The only positive EU feedback we have had has been from Angela Merkel and she wants to trade. She's going to feel bad that David Cameron lost his job ramming a derisory deal down the throats of UK voters. They are trying to pressurise us like they pressurised the Greeks but the Brits are made of sterner stuff.
We have until the autumn to see what the Conservatives come up with. I think until then it's just a case of wait and see.
