There are versions of Brexit that could long-term be better than what we have - the deal with the EU will not be as good but that could be counter-balanced/improved with benefits from other deals especially in high growth economies such as those in SE Asia.
The idea that the EU is the good deal in town is also a false prospectus - would you not agree?
At the end of the day this is about the long term not the next 5 years.
At the time of the campaign, no one, not a single person, talked about years of pain to restore parity, medicine shortages, roaming charges, Irish borders or coulds or maybes - the electorate were sold a land of easiest trade deals in history, 350 million quid a week savings and free unicorns for everyone; bit by bit, as the truth has come out, the rhetoric has been slowly dialled down to try to intersect somewhere with the reality - to the point where now, we're talking about Brexit paying off in years, and the fact that we survived WW2 (although many people patently didn't) so we can survive this.
And still, very few people can articulate one single area of their lives that have been negatively impacted by EU membership - or one that will improve upon leaving. It's loving madness.
