Obviously I voted to Remain, but those who voted Leave were a very tiny majority of the people who voted - not of the entire country. We have been told that they were predominantly older people, who - let's face it - will probably be dead by the time the fallout of this referendum actually comes to pass. A fallout that will have to be handled by the young of this country who were not allowed to vote on their own future.
I'm heartily sick of hearing about "the will of the people", and angered by the attitude of those Leavers who decry any mention of wishing to stay in the EU as unpatriotic - I've even heard Remainers being called traitors on Question Time. Those of us who voted to Remain are as patriotic as those who voted to Leave - we love our country, but feel it's better off in The Club than out of it.
Anybody who thinks that Europe is going to cut us a deal as good as the one we have now is stark staring mad. They simply can't - because if they do, then what are they saying to the other countries in the Union? That there's no need to be in it? It's entirely illogical to think that we'll get preferential treatment for coming out. We've had preferential treatment all the years we've been in!
And I agree with daphnedill - I think we'll be crawling to their door in a few years, asking to be let back in, but we'll never again have the same level of authority in the EU as we do now. We're currently one of the Big Three: Germany, France and UK. When (not if) we go back in, we'll have a lower status than the likes of Slovenia and Croatia
