As a remainer i voted because i like being part of Europe, have benefited from FOM business wise, enjoyed all the euro sport championships, was looking forward to retirement in the South of France, witnessed a lot of EU money (yes i know we chip in) being directed to communities that would never have benefited from a UK gov , loved the success of Nissan and the wealth it brought to the North East and so on.
I have no fear of change, i am wise enough to profit from it and my business is growing because of the fear and will continue to thrive. However i doubt the average joe will profit from brexit.
I have rattled on elswhere on here that my lack of faith is not in the country or the people its in the absolute shower of s**t that sit in the both houses, they will be the reason brexit will fail and the current position demonstrates that more than any words i could write. The fact is the EU is probably a safer pair of hands.
My, the EU has expanded somewhat in the last few days.
The 2020 UEFA football Euros competition includes the following European nations (which according to your argument must be in the EU to allow them to take part):-
Russia
Azerbaijan
Belarus
Israel
