:AugustO, I don't buy that video for two reasons.
:1. Brexit could cause a chain reaction so others leave the EU too. So the costs of Brexit would be changed - especially if the EU breaks up.
:2. Brexit might have been avoided if the root cause were eliminated. For example, perhaps the immigration issue could have been negotiated to being more Aussie like.[http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/judith-sloan/brexit-remainers-could-learn-from-australias-immigration-policy/news-story/cb7a9cb6f3009f003013acf748dc0f71]] Plus, less Muslim immigrants. The liberals, who are used to getting their way very often in Europe, took an all or nothing approach. Well, the UKIP and other voters chose the nothing approach. It seems to me that the Swiss avoid a lot of simmering resentments by getting the consent of the governed more.
