I just believe in democracy and freedom of expression and acknowledge that in politics, there's often never a right or wrong answer. I guess that makes me an old-fashioned liberal.
I've never been the greatest fan of the EU (but most of us in the UK haven't) but some of the inaccuracies peddled in the name of Brexit make Tony Blair look like a saint on steroids!
The truth of the matter is that there is a trade-off between control of your country and its prosperity. That's an uncomfortable truth for some but not all Brexiters. If you don't want to accept the rulings of global courts then that rules out WTO membership which is the North Korean situation.
