The Brexiteers still haven't realised, that all their thoughts and opinions are fully based on lies.
You're wrong. There were a lot of false claims made by both Brexiteers and Remainers during the referendum campaign, but they were not the reasons I voted Brexit.
I voted Brexit because the EU has gone bad. It has become a power-grabbing structure focussed on getting more and more control over its member countries and preventing those countries being able to steer themselves. If you're an economically strong country, EU membership is probably a good thing (eg France, Germany, Scandinavia, Benelux) but if you're a weaker country (Greece, Ireland, Italy) you get forced into tighter economic constraints with no control or prospect of real improvement. Basically it's capitalist bullying by the big guys of the weaker economies. Greece's economy particularly has been suffocated into a near-coma instead of being helped.
I'd be happy to stay part of a benevolent and progressive EU which allowed its members to control their destinies according to their needs and helped each of them to flourish, but that's not the EU which is on offer.
UK still needs a good relationship with Europe - probably based on free trade - and while I'd accept that our Brexit negotiating tactics have been stupidly inept, it is also clear that EU negotiators don't want us to have a good post-Brexit relationship. All they do is tell us what we can't have - there's been nothing positive about what we could have or how the practicalities could be usefully solved for a friendly Brexit which works for both sides.
The British vote and some other countries having strong anti-EU movements should send a warning message to the EU power brokers that they've got things wrong and need to seriously adjust direction, but there's no sign that they're prepared to listen. And that for me is the underlying reason I want out - the product is not what it claims to be.
