Despite the fear and hate brigade trying to, twist the result any way they can.
Its far from black and white.
The people of Europe will hardly notice that we have gone, but I feel that many would like the opportunity to have the same referendum. It is the bureaucrats of the EU that are angry because they are afraid of losing their power. It is the intention to create states if Europe, rather than individual countries, and probably always has been, but nobody is actually going to say that is what they want, in case it scares people. It will be interesting to see how many other countries have the chance to make the same decision, but the EU will make things difficult for the UK, in the hope that it will stop their vote going in the same direction.
