        Sometimes you need courage behind conviction and we have. Be positive. Better times ahead.

        Absolutely...

        When the UK stops contributing to the EU you will be 11 pounds a month better off, because the UK doesn't contribute to the EU.

        However due the drop in the pound because of the Brexit vote an average earner will be 32 pounds a month worse off, as a contractor more like 100 pounds.

        Did voting Brexit make financial sense ?

            The EU is not perfect, in fact it's very far from perfect, but the simple truth is that the UK has been integrated into it's structures economically, legally and politically for almost 50 years, and many of us on what was the remain side felt it would be very costly to remove ourselves from this.
            I actually share the impatience of many leavers for Article 50 to be trigged ASAP. Only when the in depth negotiations commence will the true nature of things be revealed. Some say we have the stronger hand and will get a 'eat our cake and have it ' outcome, others say we will have no choice but to compromise (I am in that group), both sides can't be right....

              Jim Cramer is a laughing stock.

              And I didn't vote to be a few quid better or worse off. Neither here nor there.

                Fair point. Just as the Soviet Union disentangled itself there were years of pain. Fortunately we are getting out now before it unravels completely

                  Without any voted mandate to do so. If you had put that to the electorate 20 years ago and thrown in an EU army do you really believe the people of the UK would have said yes? Zero chance.

                    As for "reforming from within" https://semipartisansam.com/2016/05/...e-pro-eu-left/

                    First there’s Yanis Varoufakis, the flash stepdad of European leftism and the former finance minister of ailing Greece. This is a man who has experienced the tyranny of the Brussels set firsthand. His modest proposals for rescuing debt-laden Greece from EU-enforced austerity were ignored. ‘Elections’, he was told by German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble, ‘change nothing’. He quit government in protest as his Syriza comrade Alexis Tsipras signed an agreement that would once again shackle Greece to Troika diktat. What is the self-styled ‘erratic Marxist’ up to now? He’s touring the UK, telling Brits to say ‘Oxi’ to Brexit so that we can ‘reform the EU from within’.
