Britain will be now an example how individual nation could defend it's profits against xxl-superpowers like India, China, Brazil, (Russia), and United States ie globalization. Do they have an immunity against it outside the Union? That is something those pro-exit propagande let people to believe.

Will UK be able to gain better for each and every of it's citizen on it's own is something the whole world now waits to see. As long as there is no leader to step forwards the situation might get not only better but also worse.
Sailor, I've said it before in this thread, the decision to leave was not down to economics - it's one of sovereignty amongst other things. Everyone accepted that there would be market turmoil in the short term but this was seen as acceptable if we were to get out of a union that wants to form a supra national state.

I'm getting tired of contributors who see no other option than economic ruin - the UK has the world's fifth largest economy and will be able to leverage that when it comes to negotiating future trade deals. I don't know how that will pan out - and neither does anyone else. But let us please stop the mis-information about 'no leader to step forward' - the Conservative party are in Government - they have a leader who has tendered his resignation and an election is under way. Nothing in the daily life of parliament is affected and the country has not come to a standstill.
