Doesn't make any difference to me, I would still vote to leave, every time!
Don't want to dent your confidence but no one cares if it makes a difference to you or to me.

Well, the forecast chaos when we voted against staying in the EU didn't come to much, did it? That is not the only example by far.
Unless you call interest rates rising, national debt payment being postponed for 10 years and the pound falling substantially against the Euro then yes, nothing happened.
Did Cameron et al pick the worse case scenarios? Yes. Did the Brexit guys pick impossibly good scenarios? Yes. That doesn't mean experts are wrong. Would you rather have Jim at No. 35 doing your heart bypass or someone who's qualified and skilled in the process doing it?

From those in the know it's a case of BINO - Brexit in name only. Expect a customs union but called a customs alignment, a customs agreement etc. And nothing much will happen until 2020.
