[QUOTE="B'o'B, post: 7352173, member: 491"] In 2016 a narrow majority voted to leave. In 2019 the UK population voted in a party to "get Brexit done". The may not have won the popular vote, but they did win the election. I may not like it, but that is water under the bridge. In the short term leaving is definitely a bad thing for both sides, but the EU is by far the stronger side so I feel it will be defiantly be less bad for them. In the medium term it is likely to be poorer for both sides under the current arrangements, but again I feel the UK will likely take the bigger hit. In the longer term who knows, if the UK hangs together, and if (and currently it looks like a big if) it has some decent leadership it could be for the best for both parties. If you look back objectively the UK often seemed to be an oddball in the EU, in many ways a reluctant participant. It can be agued either way, whether we held the project back, or, conversely we provided a voice of restraint (and maybe sanity), I guess now time has a chance to show which we were! The EU certainly has its faults, but lets not be blind, so does the UK. It depressed me when I went to Scotland for a friends wedding about 10 years ago and was threatened simply for being English in the local town (I doubt anything that has happened since then has reduced those peoples animosity toward the English), but then again I find some of the anti-Scots posts that I read on here from English posters and elsewhere equally depressing.
