I will still be coming to Holland after Brexit.

The culture is fantastic and the fishing is great.
Brexit will not change my love of European Cultures.
I will still travel to my favourite restaurants, so much cheaper than those here in the UK.
It is just that the EU, in it's present form, is not for me.
As a trading Bloc it is great, however the direction of travel, with further integration, is wrong and dangerous.
I want no part of it at all.
And the brits will always be welcome to the netherlands. Still admired for their culture and sophistication, honoured for the bravery of their men serving the country.
As to the EU, it's a package deal, you take the good with the bad. Of course I'm not blind to the things wrong in the system. But I've always learned that if you criticise, you also give alternatives, that you make an effort yourself. For me as a simple civilian, the best I can do is use my vote, and use it wise. The netherlands take the EU parliament more and more serious. In the past we delegated second rate politicians (like you did by sending farage), now it's more of the statute like frans timmermans.
I respect the choice the UK made, but I will not stop criticising it. As to my former statement about criticising and alternatives, I suggest it is not too late to revoke A50. You have made your point about the flaws of the EU. They are broadly aknowledged. What you also made clear, is the level of interaction, of intertwining between the memberstates.
As you know the period of juncker ends in october, and although he strongly denies it, I suspect mark rutte will make his move to take over. He is different from juncker, but still a politician.
