Well I wasn't going to sell our home anyway, but now my children have a better chance of buying their own home.
Really? Just how much will house prices have to fall to make them properly affordable to the many young people wanting to own their own home without also plunging many "decent, real" people into negative equity? Let's not even think about large increases in interest rates. Sure, many home owners can ride a drop of 10% even 20% for a few years but that's not nearly enough to make housing truly affordable. What will leaving do about the many young people that are caught in a trap where high rents are preventing them from saving.
I really hope I am wrong but this is a great example of where the rhetoric of the Leave campaign has hoodwinked people into thinking that by voting leave somehow they are voting for a system that will be more equitable for all, as if suddenly people like Johnson, Gove and Farage are going to care to about the average person on the street in a way they never have before. Leave or Remain, the majority of people in this country have been dumped on by politicians for decades. That has nothing to do with the EU and I see no evidence that is going to change at all.
If all the people who voted leave really, really thought that the country will be better off in the long term then fine - that's democracy. I get the distinct feeling however that there are a sizeable number who simply wanted to protest about Westminster and never imagined that their single vote would ever make a difference, after all it's never made a difference before. Well, in this case it has done something. It's all combined to send us out. And we will still have leaders that really don't care about what happens to anyone other than their mates.
I'm not worried that the sky is going to fall down, we will move on. But I don't for one minute think that we shall get anything near the level of benefits promised by Leave and suspect there will still be masses of disillusioned people 5 years, 10 years down the line.
