The point is, a huge amount of extra money will be at our disposal when we leave this great monolithic bureaucracy, and we can decide to spend it on the NHS, housing, poverty, whatever we like. Plus, we will be able to exploit world markets without being tied down by the EU.

I think a lot of remainers also believe that trade with the EU will be stopped or at least severely impacted when we leave. I am sure they will be pleasantly surprised, because that is not going to happen.

So you are saying that the people in charge of the Leave campaign were just grossly incompetent and were unable to do basic mathematics?
