So, would it be fair to say that your position is basically it doesn’t matter what happens to the countries population as a whole ? So long as Brexit is delivered ?
Genuine question

Effecfting serious change within the EU is a non starter as has been proved many times over the years we have been members.

So to consider some of the good points you also make.
1) when change stops in a democracy, we’re no longer in a democracy
2) if the result of the referendum had been the opposite I have no doubt we would be having the same argument but from the opposite side of the coin
3) If the UK is such a powerful entity in its own right and the EU are petrified of us leaving (which seems to be the thought process of many people who wish to leave) then surely if we were to remain in the EU that gives us the best chance to effect change (that’s if you believe our politicians can achieve that)
As were scheduled to leave currently and enter the transitional phase we basically maintain the same relationship but with no say
