Re: Post-Brexit Thread

I think for many leave voters it was the experience of living through the direction change in the European project that did influence the vote far more then any of the campaign nonsense. That's also why the economic arguments didn't have the impact they were intended to have as people who were against the direction of the EU were not thinking in terms of economic consequences first although many would have considered them just not to the extent to change their vote. Plus most of us know that we were successful traders long before the EU and can be again though it will take time to reestablish ourselves as true global traders again.

That was another factor for me I felt we had become economically too EU centred at the detriment of potentially more lucrative global opportunities that we are well placed to exploit. I fully expect there to be negative economic consequences for a period up to five years but the gains that will come after that will make us more prosperous as a nation.
