5. So, Brexit is a good thing?

My 401k says you are wrong if you think that. Nigel Farge has walked back all the good things he claimed would be resultant. Scotland would disagree as would Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the list goes on. This was about too many Poles living next door. Industry will have to relocate to EU nations to avoid tariffs. That Cameron and the Conservatives went the route of austerity is as much to blame. That goes back to the Brit electorate making a series of stupid decisions. No reason we should follow the example of a nation we separated from.
