Bruce,
Come on, stop being silly, mate! I have said before that one CANNOT predict the future. So, sorry, this: "...So my question remains, how will leaving help those people?..." is just adversarial and puerile in the extreme if you think I am even going to begin to try to answer that, as no one can provide the answer. It is a matter of knowledge and life experience guiding many, I suspect, on which way they decided to vote. You appear to have a problem over that. You appear to have a problem with people who can think for themselves, can reson things out, can draw on a lot of experience in life with regard to own country/European/World matters and actually form their own opinions/conclusions.
Sorry mate, you absolutely insult my intelligence...
