It always makes me laugh when the fanatic Brexiteers say something
like 'The people voted and decided'

that's what they did and the way all voting systems in democracy work.

Voting systems 'work' on the basis of reasonably informed choices.

Given the concept of 'Brexit' was never properly explained (and still
isn't clear); the campaigning was at best tainted, at worst illegal; and
the quality of information and debate was poor. On both sides.


It was perfectly clear to me, and it was carefully pointed out by a
number of politicians: we would leave the EU, the CU, the SM, and the
jurisdiction of the ECJ. Article 50 makes it quite clear: two years
after declaring the intention to leave under Article 50 (that is by a
member state exercising its treaty rights), "the Treaties shall cease
to apply to the Member State".


Anything else I gotta know?


How is this country going to keep its trade balance in a positive account
under these circumstances?


It isnt positive currently.
