    Evidently you'd prefer it if a sovereign or dictator just decided everything for you, so you and your friends and family wouldn't have to worry their little heads over it.

    think this will be a tactic that's attempted at some point

    I can't quite believe that the powers that be will give up on the EU super state dream quite so easily, a huge propaganda war will continue to be fought for many years pre & post Brexit

    I do regret the referendum taking place.

    On the basis of division generated, I genuinely would prefer that the whole thing had never happened.

    It boils down to the fact that my personal views of being a member/not a member of the EU are outweighed by the division and grievances it is causing upon those I care about.

    FFS!! People don't GET any more insular and insecure than the SNP.

    Thankfully they remain in the minority.
