The Pound has reserve funds to keep it from tanking long-term. Of course it was going to go down if the exit went through, but nearly a century of economics have taught banks how to stall such a decline.
We will do fine. We were once a military superpower - and we were not part of the EU when this happened. We were not some silly powerless country before the EU 40 years ago either.
That's an outdated argument too. You were a military superpower in WWII and have not had to be since. There have been major advancements in industry and design of war machines since then. Forgive me it this analogy doesn't apply, but it sounds like you're claiming you can be a smartphone hacker because you developed for Windows 3.1.
A proud day for Britain - specifically England and Wales - to finally be rid of the EU.
Scotland and Ireland say "HELP US, EU!!" What would it do to the UK to lose them? Admittedly, probably not much, but they don't feel like the UK is enough for them. If they leave then you are the odd ones out.
What would have been weak would be being governed by people we cannot elect.
This is the strongest argument for leaving the under represented EU. This is also why the US left England. UK was the EU's trump card economically and now it's lost it.
I must confess to having a lot of fun this morning reading all the rants from the remainers - the usual "You are a raaaaaycist" doing the rounds. The left still in a state of denial and still making the same errors that pushed so many to leave. Calling people a racist for voicing legitimate concerns is long past its sell by date.
Meat and potatoes time: leaving the EU would NOT have even come up if the EU weren't expressing refugees to the Isle in the first place. You can site other compounding issues leading up to it and even claim that the US Civil War wasn't about slavery, but it was the tipping point. As such you can see how the rest of the world, who are more focused on their own political problems, view your vote as a direct response to the influx of publicly unwanted refugees. It makes you appear racist and uncaring.
Again, rebuttal that you don't care how others are misinterpreting the entire situation, but that's always going to color their dealings with you in the future.
Devil's advocate aside, I wish Britain all the best of luck with what will certainly be an uncertain transition from conglomerate member to standalone sovereignty. It can work in Britain's favor for sure.
