Everything you wrote maybe factual and rational but the "let's leave one of the biggest trading blocks in the world - we'll be better off" crowd has no need of that.

If people can be convinced of rainbows on the other side of the cliff ("just jump off and see") - I don't think weighing the individual relativistic points of rejoining has any merits as a strategy.

You are better off spending 100% of your energy in flippant promotions about no more queues for Ibiza or cheap produce on the shelf and other greener pastures.

The electorate had no fucking clue how good they had it, they will be just as unconcerned about regaining that exact position.

After all forget about any of the details of the implementation - that can be worked out after, just like brexit. Happy happy blue skies until the election.
