From my perspective we will be able determine our own course in the world without being shackled to an undemocratic and corrupt organisation.
One which has dictated to us, but allowed us very little say in the way things are.(it is interesting to note that a vote has never gone in Britains favour all the time we have been in the EU).
The population of this country were bamboozled from the outset.
We were sold a trading organisation....this morphed into something far more sinister.
Political alignment was not what we signed up to...or not knowingly.
The governments could have given us a say over the various changes(the changes in different treaties), but they didn't.
The Brussels mandarins are unelected and as far as I can see unaccountable. We cannot remove them if they are doing a bad job.
I will be happy to be out...totally out.Not the Hi-ho version that was beaten out at Chequers.
To me, that agreement is a fudge....we would be paying in to the EU pot forever, we would still be bound by EU legislation, but have no say in the formulation of legislation....and that to me is not the Brexit I voted for.
No one in their right mind believes that we can go back to how it was before we joined the EU....but what we can do is trade with who we want.
The EU sells us far more stuff than we buy from them.
Do you really think that they will refuse this business?
Do you really think that those countries that rely on tourism are going to be turning Brits away.
The EU has not been good for the P.I.G.S countries...many of the young people in these countries are unemployed....with rates running at around 49%.
It is in the interests of the EU to offer us the worst possible deal...they want to make an example of us and stop other countries like Italy and Greece from thinking that they too could leave.
We just have to roll our sleeves up and get on with it.

Once more I'll repeat myself, Margaret you are right.
The panic mongers & pro EU forecasters predict doom and gloom because over half the Country wish to go back to ruling our own lives.
If only they (the forecasters) could send their magnificent crystal ball back in time, THEN, the politicians that negotiated to join the Common Market would have been able to predict how the whole thing would pan out, not a market but a whole new life dominated by unwanted regulations that deprived our Country of trade, commerce & freedom.
Perhaps they would have said, no thanks?
We'll do nicely on our own, the rest of Europe can go swivel.
We have a second chance lets ignore the panic mongers and get on with a future for our Country.
