it's not a difficult thing to grasp

if people were happy with life - they would not want out of the EU

but, they aren't happy - they want change -

so, they look to leaving the EU - ie. exiting

but, they only 'think' that will make their lives better - because they 'think' they see things that are causing their unease

the whole point is they don't want Brexit, they don't want out of the EU - they actually want better lives -

they 'think' Brexit will give them that

THAT is NOT guaranteed

I have zero argument that there is much wrong in Britain - certainly England - no argument at all - something (or things) are badly wrong - no question

The problem is that human life and society has changed so much in the last 3 decades - it's impossible to work out what's caused what -

the first internet browser only came to us in 1990 and has revolutionised life - the smart phone is far younger and has also revolutionised living

the unease that people are feeling is NOT just in Britain -

it's almost everywhere --------- America (hence Trump), Australia - hence the change of PM's more often than underpants, parts of Europe - riots, protests etc etc ---------- it's very widespread -----

that indicates something that's far far far far bigger than Britain having issues with the EU ----------- and, if that's correct -then, merely leaving the EU will not help --------- it will make changes - but, what those changes are are to be seen.

I have been speaking with several Brexiteers and several remainers -------

lets see what the Brexiteers say --------- and, one thing they all say is that - it will take a decade to settle down

now - think about that

think about what changes will happen in technologies and society within another decade?????

I suggest that those changes will be larger and have far more effects on life in Britain and the rest of the world than anything Brexit can do - those changes will be mindboggling

now, wind back to what people actually want -

they want change - they want it because they are not comfortable

Brexit gives no guarantee that they will be comfortable at all

it 'might' be good - it 'might not' be good

my guess is that in a decade or two - it may not be able to judge at all it's effects - because the effects from the overall changes we are all going though are so profound that all else will be lost

Dunno about that...the majority of Poms are just sick and tired of having to roll over when ever the EU makes any demands. Not to mention the £13 - £15 Billion Pounds paid to the EU each year to be a "member".

That money could do an awful lot of good in the UK. That along with being told by some one else, namely the EU, how many immigrants they MUST take each and every year.

I highly doubt anybody will look back in a decades time and wish they didn't get out!!!
