"Most countries in the EU would swop with Britain".
How do you know what most countries in the EU think Stan?
No Stan it is you who doesn't understand politics. The referendum was only called because Cameron caved in to the demands of the Euro sceptics within the Tory party. He took what he thought was a calculated risk and it backfired spectacularly, hence his resignation. The only reason there was a referendum in the first place was to stop the in-fighting in the Tory party over Europe once and for all. The will of the people had precious little to do with it.
The Tory euro sceptics were the tail that wagged the government dog. The upshot of all this is that the Tory party is now more divided than ever with a dead duck PM at the helm and no feasible Brexit strategy in place.
