I believe the vote to leave was more about getting out from under the dictatorship of the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels who are lording their laws across the continent with little regard for its citizens than a separation from the countries of Europe themselves.
Exactly this. the Brits got their democracy back & are now free to trade with whoever they want, anywhere in the world, under their own terms.
I mentioned this in a similar thread here:

...& was amazed to find that some people actually believe that the Brussels cronies were elected - one person even tried quoting wikipedia to me! (which they obviously didn't read properly anyway).
