Damn, an unintended consequence of this "brexit" is that the steam summer (our winter) sales are on and the aussie dollar is getting a right royal fisting ATM.

What are the reasons
Ability to make your own laws, don't need to accept decisions forced on them by other countries, don't need to fund the european commission, ability to set and manage tax rates, more power to support british industry, power to expel spain from destroying the british fishing industry, stopping the flow of cheap labour from the rest of europe, no need to fund EU foreign aid (this will upset the left) and so on.

Britain regain their own identity in a sense. Also as Chiwigi has said, easier/more likely Scotland can become independent of the UK.

1. Already can and do.
2. Already can and do.
3. LOL! It was the Tories who killed industry by destroying the unions
4. The fishing industry has declined due to over fishing and Europe tried to fix it. Also see point 3.
5. Stop cheap labour??? - I thought you were right of centre, how the **** is that a good thing for someone with your outlook? see point 3.
6. LOL, not true at all.
7. Net benefit is way above contribution.

This has all but KILLED 'British' identity, something that fewer than half identify with anyway. Most are Welsh/Scot/English, not Brits.

Sovereignty, EU commission accountability and democracy, the economy, jobs.
1. Sovereignty - define British sovereignty then.
2. Accountability...erm House of Lords. Where decisions are made by bishops and hereditary peers (lets not even talk about the interfering old German lady).
3. Economy and jobs!!! - why the hell do you think the EU exists in the first place? It creates them.

Seriously though, being disillusioned with the EU is not at all surprising for a plethora of reasons, not just immigration - though that's obviously a hot topic.

The pound has now dropped more than 1992 "black wednesday"

Our All Ords down 3.5%.

Edit:
interfering old German lady
