  1.  @edgardebruin5539  English people still think that they're living in essentially a superpower, but it's nowhere near being true. Your economy was propped up by being a anglophone EU country, now all the benefits of being a gateway into the EU is gone and Londons competitive edge in the financial market is failing. You have essentially lost your biggest export market and failed to replace it. The few trade deals you've made is either equal or worse then what you had if you got a deal at all, something that's hard to do because quite frankly you have a shortage of diplomats. You've been running your economy into the ground. And due to the first past the post electoral system your politics is so polarized that you're even failing to see the iceberg that you are heading directly towards. Yes, the UK will survive without the EU. But your economy is going down the drain. And I'm saying that as someone not living in a EU country nor from one.

Would have been better with 4-5 regional currencies loosely bound to each other with all the economies helping stabilizing them I think. For instance if the southern states had their own currency that could fall below the one used further north but that it was still acceptable at a 1 to 1 ratio for tax purposes as a certain percentage of the tax revenue in the richer countries if said company also operate in a country using said currency. That way a certain amount of demand could be generated helping boost the value of the lower value "Euroes" as well as boosting the economy there a little bit, but they could still print money to help deal with high debts. Likewise here in the north we could regulate our own currency more without being at the mercy of the monetary policy of higher population nations on the continent and we could work out what's the best solutions for *us*.
