The decision being taken in the main by older & "wiser" heads who have a recollection of UK prior to any sort of united europe, then in to a tentative trading bloc of 6 nations, later morphing into an increasingly larger, ungainly & undemocratic monster, devouring & destroying nation states as it mutated into the present day overbearing, constraining entity it is at present.

Due to eu policies, many smaller countries are suffering, it didn't help that the eu's attitude was mainly to blame for not maintaining its own entry criteria on new entrants. Then when things go pear shaped the minnows were thrown to the wolves & told to see how they get on with it or "Bend over & take more europe" hardly utopian is it?

The eu won't change despite noises to the contrary & I personally see it imploding in upon itself before to long. The upshot, Britain is now out, it won't be easy but at least we can get our feet under ourselves & re-establish our Country's, self reliance & stability without to many distractions. But, when the Weasel that's the eu goes pop .... nations trying to drag themselves out of the clag & snot are going to be in far more dire straits than the UK during our own rebirth!

Eloquently put son(especially the clag and snot bit)......you can be milk monitor next week.
