The remain arguments were very poor and they had all the weight of the establishment on their side plus the leaders of the main parties and they still lost..... how s....t is that .?
Because many Leave votes were bought by promises of a pot of gold.
In many ways it was reminiscent of an old labour election campaign.

Very few I suggest?
Can you say why you believe some were led to vote leave by a promise yet you believe that not many were scared by predictions of disaster. Scare stories were credited for winning voters in the scottish insependence vote and if scare tatics arent effective why are they used by politicians ? Didnt get many saying how great the EU is from the remain side just how bad it would be to leave

UKIP MSP's should act like adults and do their job. Which is supporting British business and people in Europe. Where were they for example every time future policy on fishing and Agriculture are being voted on. At home counting their expenses and salaries for doing FA.

Evidence to support your wild fantasies?
As you've left already, what's it to do with you anyway?

UKRAP didn’t go to EU parliment to represent. That went to disrupt and destruct. Proven by Farages near zero attendance at fisheries committee where he failed British fishermen but collects the expenses.

Further proven when after the referendum he dissapeared down his bolt hole. Nothing to offer when it came to building the new Britain post Brexit. Nothing actually going on there but jingoistic one liners. A lot got fooled by his suave exterior and Euro rants.
Reminds me of an overfed, over pampered bull of susceptible functional traits, which over and again fools the punter at Carlyle!!! That’s UKRAP in a nutshell.

Told you before. Time wasted going to talking shops and commities that have less clout than the allotment committee at @Pasty parish council.
Either way. Mind your own business.

What is never often quoted is the massive corruption within Brussels. There is at least one book on it and a lot of individual articles. The place is a swamp run by swamp donkeys and we need out.
Various other EU countries will join us in market based agreements as when they no longer have our money and in fact are close to not getting the 48 billion ransom the whole edifice will fall apart.
It surely must be being noticed in the UK by now how Brexit is the best thing to happen the EU in many years?
The rest are more united than I ever remember them, once the UK is out it will be full steam ahead for the EU.
I would have prefer the UK still be anchor dragging along behind, as it has done for most of my life, but some country had to be the first to leave. It is a pity it had to our neighbour and biggest customer.

Not sure how united they are, italy and malta refusing to allow a boat of refugees to land, several others not allowing free movement of other refugees, massive financial issues in italy greece and spainetc and several countries electing anti eu parties.

Italy backed down very quickly, all the financial issue predate Brexit,
The anti EU parties have lost ground or back tacked on their anti EU stance since Brexit.
