No happy ending?
I think you'll find that any deal with the EU will have to be on THEIR terms....they will hold all the cards. A Brexit vote is like casting yourself adrift in a lifeboat and then asking the captain of the ship if you can have some rations.....just after having likened him to Hitler! If it wasn't such a serious issue it would be laughable.Who says we have to accept it? We create our own trade deal with the EU on our own terms. If they don't like that what are they going to do about it? End of the day trade will still go on regardless. The Germans, French, Italians, Spanish will still sell us their product.

Those cards being a stagnating trade block with shrinking influence,importance, Eurozone in perpetual crisis, numerous political tensions amongst members states, migrant crisis fuelling those tensions ... basically a lot of instability and uncertainty. It will be in all our interests to come to a swift mutually beneficial agreement to minimise economic disruption... as big business currently backing remain would make clear to all sides post Brexit.

On that basis local councils are also undemocratic. Central government regularly overrules the wishes of the local council and its residents - especially when it comes to planning decisions!
But apart from being the world's largest internal market, our biggest market, the richest market in the world and ranking first in both inbound and outbound international investment what does the Eurozone have to offer us?
...and don't get me started on the USA. Totally undemocratic. Once upon a time if someone in Alabama wanted to do something he could. Now he can't, because some geezer hundreds of miles away in Washington who barely speaks the same language as him says he can't. Disgraceful. Break it up..
Comparing the EU to the USA is an own goal.
The Eurozone is a bigger internal market than the US?
Eurozone richest market in the world?
Eurozone ranking first in inbound and outbound international investment?
Any sources to back up those assertions?
The Eurozone offers us a future where our second tier EU membership is at the whim of the Eurozone 1st tier members who have a majority and can out vote us putting their ever closer union agenda ahead of our national interest.
It does appear the remain side are happy for us to be on the same footing as a local council or a US state.
No. Your last sentence. No. I have now decided. I'm voting REMAIN!!!
And that is an unutterably dim remark.
