Alternatively you could challenge my point of view by addressing the points I have made. I was under the impression that a major criticism of Remainers was that we can't know what the future will bring. Now we're being asked for predictions???? 2

It was kinda nice when we had a, fairly influential, input on the rules. It's a bit screwy now that we have to follow all the rules, but no longer having a democratic voice when it comes to forming them. But that, apparently, is the will of the people ????♂️. 2

We did have a say... Over 96% of EU rules were either devised by, or supported by the UK government. Now we have no say and just have to follow their directives anyway. Big improvement. 1

We had very little influence in the Franco/German led EU when we were in it. Now we have left, we follow the rules we wish to follow. Since we voted in a Democratic referendum to leave the EU, the British do what we want (despite Remainer anti-Democratic attempts to deny the will of the people). 1 2

That's how trade works. Unfortunately for them, German exports to the UK have plummeted since Brexit. One of the factors leading Germany to enter recession. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/gloomy-ifo-fuels-fears-second-german-recession-year-2023-08-25/ Lucky for the EU that the German economy is not vital to the financial health of the bloc.
