Do you honestly think the really well off (however they got their loot) put all their eggs in one basket?
It'll be people like you who'll lose the little you have.
The rich will be laughing away somewhere else.Hard Brexit now!

Oh and they don't care if we are thrown under a bus as unlike badly run British businesses like Monarch and BHS, they know not to rely on one customer.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

The problem is that the EU are not its constituent countries it is a cancer all of its own. It really doesn't care if the French or German markets have problems selling goods to the UK because those pains hurt someone else not the elite in Brussels.
The whole point that the guys supporting remain seem to miss is that the EU are not interested in the members they are a protectionist state all on their own. They bully protection money out of the members and then piss it up the wall as they fancy. All 27 countries in the current block could just stand up tomorrow and say we agree to trade for free and we don't need the EU anymore because we will create standards the same way as the RFC method works today.
That would solve Brexit immediately and give everyone what they want which is trade. I have not met a single person that thinks an EU army is a good idea and the fact that the EU are even talking about it shows they have ran out of touch.
bob,
part of the EU's raison de etre is redistribution of wealth from the rich countries to the poor countries to bring everybody to the same level and they have been very successful at that
huge amounts of money from the rich countries has been invested in infrastructure in the poorer countries, from Portugal across CZ/PL/HU/SK
look at the railways and motorways, the improvements in buildings etc
so yes there might be some people skimming off the cream but it hasn't all been wasted
CEE has done very well as a consequence of EU membership
And if CEE _only_ had free trade agreements they would not have the infrastructure improvements which have come with EU membership

If the people in the UK don't understand how institutions and/or the markets work then they should leave them and learn to live in a "developing country".I'm alright JackComment

actually talking with German colleagues they are very comfortable with giving German money to the EU to give to the other countries, because as they said....
"and then the people in those countries will buy German products anyway"
