Opening up trade with the rest of the world will be a good thing for the UK, the Commonwealth countries we abandoned when we joined the Common Market and the rest of the world. It will extend our influence rather than suppress it and bring more wealth to this country. What is more, the billions we pump into the EU will be available to the UK Government to spend or invest as it sees fit.

Hell, we could even spend it on the NHS, if we didn't want to see that money again or know where it went!
I think for some of them it's worse than that - they'd rather see Brexit turn into a disaster than be a success for the UK. It's ideological and nothing anyone can say or do will change their minds. No matter what happens they'll always argue we'd have been better off inside the EU. They'll carry on undermining and delaying the process because they don't won't it to work.
