I made an informed choice based on what was written on the referendum paperwork.

Some things were not stated, I agree, and when we leave - if we leave - it depends on how the EU will react. That was never predictable and it is still not predictable.

That is what we are all discussing on this and other threads: how the EU will react if and when we leave.

I think we are all aware of how they have reacted so far, so unless they realise that if they refuse to work with us in any way after Brexit, my answer would be, "NO, NO, NO".

We don't need them; we have the rest of the world to explore, exactly as we have done in the past.

Hi

The EU have offered the same Trade Deal as accepted by Canada , Japan and South Korea.

If it is good enough for them it is good enough for us.

I do not see that the EU are refusing to work with us.

The thing we are not getting is Boris, We can have our cake and eat it.

The options were simple: stay or leave.

Prior to the vote, much information was supplied in the media and I'm sure that everything that was known at the time was made public.

Of course, no-one knew exactly what was in the minds of the EU dictators.

But did the majority of the electorate considerate it in detail?
And what the consequences might be?

No disrespect intended, but the discussions on this forum give the strong impression that about half of the voters had not informed themselves. Not only the general public, but also politicians were led by what brexit should deliver. A divorce involves two parties, and each leaves with approx. half of what both shared before the divorce.
