We get over half of our eu membership costs back in money to nhs, research, industry etc...
Our eu membership is about 4% of our budget... After the money we get back it's about 0.5% of our budget... Leaving will likely cost us 10-20% of our economy
That'll do it's done... We need to stop fighting and embrace positivity to try to get confidence in the uk.... It can be a sucess but everyone needs to pull together now and find a decent leader. The point was, lots of the leave vote, most of it was through ignorance

In 2015 we paid about 1.1% of our total expenditure to the EU. I asked a few people what they thought it was, nearly all thought it was more than 30%
Misinformation and anti intellectualism rules.
Agree with your last paragraph.
We need an anti austerity government now that will invest to stimulate growth. Don't listen to the gutter press rubbishing Corbyn. For me he is the only one who can move us forward.
