Just to play devil's advocate here, Brexit is not until next March and the real Brexit, subject to agreement, doesn't start until 2021. So, we're somewhat off seeing the effects of our decision at the moment. But despite what Cameron and his "mate" Osbourne said, the world hasn't fallen in yet.
....And it's not likely to, either. I'm afraid that there are many people in this world who do not like change and are fearful of the consequences it may bring. However, when we look back, we can see how change can bring about many advantages, some of which were not even envisaged at the time.
In the case of Brexit, I think that most remainers honestly believe that there will be a big fall off of trade with the EU, whereas the truth is that there will be little change, plus we will be able to increase our share of world trade by entering into our own trade deals.
We will also be able to pocket a huge proportion of the money we currently send to the EU. So where, exactly, is the downside? There is a lot of work to be done to ensure our borders are managed appropriately and without the delays that could happen if this is not thought through, and of course we need to get those trade deals done with all the countries we want to trade with, but if we get this right, the advantages to the UK of pulling out of this huge bureaucratic monstrocity of an organisation known as the EU are enormous.
We will regain our own sovereignty and we will be able to control who comes into and leaves the country to boot.
