  3.  @SlickVoyager  it is not the membership fee that is the issue, it is the trade deficit. The fee just adds insult to injury. Simply looking at the economic position, the UK has no future within the EU. The total cost of being the EU is £100 billion per year. The UK government has had forty plus years of membership to address the costs and has failed to do so, partly as a result of EU laws and directives that make this impossible. If the political future of the EU is taken into account, the majority of the UK population has no appetite for greater EU integration or the EU super state that it is intended to produce. The EU already has a reputation for a lack of democracy and endemic corruption. Many of those who voted to leave see the dystopian future ahead of the EU and want no part in it. I doubt if the UK will be any more diminished by leaving than it will be by being subsumed into the EU super state. Even if it is, it may result in the UK being less involved in the world's wars, requiring its military only to defend its shores. Once the EU has its own military, it will only be a matter of a few years before it will be involved in major conflict, which is very likely to lead to its destruction. If not destroyed by existential threats, the EU is very likely to succumb to internal rebellion as a result of the oppression it will be forced to apply to hold it's empire together. This is the fate of all empires as has been repeatedly shown by history. Extricating the UK from the EU parasite is going to be a painful process, something that would have been a lot less painful had we had a referendum before the Maastricht treaty was signed by our treasonous government. The UK's future is by no means certain after brexit, but at least it has the possibility of being much better than that which it faced within the EU. The EU future is still unfolding, but it is going to become increasingly bleak, hopefully we in the UK will not be part of it.
