There's an entire thread on the Eurozone and all the arguments and evidence is there ad nauseam but the adverse effects of having no capacity to vary internal interest rates or devalue your own currency in times of need is undeniable.

OK, so, we have a slight change in your original statement. The EU is directly responsible for economic failure in southern member states. not as a whole as per your original post.
Would you agree that not only Germany has benefitted from this?
Also, have you considered what happens IF as a country we got it wrong? whilst we have disagreed on many things on these forums, I don't doubt your intelligence. As such I can't believe that you haven't thought about what could happen IF the exit goes wrong
So i guess it comes down to a few things.
1) Do you believe our politicians our competent enough (and i see no evidence to support that they are) to be able to manage this situation.
2) What is your plan for IF it goes horribly wrong?
As a remainer, if and when the sun comes out I'm prepared to take it on the chin and say 'You know what I got it wrong'
If it all goes horribly pear shaped what will you say?
