You have completely misunderstood what that was about. The UK was put under foreign rule against the will of more that two thirds of its population (67% against in 2 MORI Ipsos polls). No referendum was allowed when the Maastricht Treaty was signed, the public majority was deliberately ignored. This was a forced conquering event. Then it was discovered that the EU's law was dominant. Then it became understood that the president and the whole government (Commission) of the EU that make the laws are completely unelected. No one elected to the EU Parliament is in the government of the EU. The elected Parliament is not there to wield power but instead to draw attention away from it, to make you think you voted for something. Then it was seen that only 1 of the first 890 directives (dictat laws from the Commission which go straight into law) was even debated or voted upon in the UK Parliament. For 26 years, there was no legal or democratic means allowed to reverse this and for the UK to become a free and democratic sovereign country. Then the Lisbon Treaty was agreed with an exit clause and the UK population jumped at the chance to reverse the historic mistake of joining. The EU at this time was the most hated active organisation in the world, from a British perspective. Any price was worth it to leave. When you say the UK did badly in living standards after becoming a democracy, you are not taking into account the Covid crisis, the ageing population and the general decline of the collective West as investment flows East. The EU's economy has not grown in ten years, but you don't mention that. I don't know where you are from, but we have passive means of making big decisions like this; the law and democracy. The EU over-ruled both. If the decision is reversed, people will know that they have been cheated and the passive means don't work. If the public are not allowed to get their freedom via the law or democracy, the third option is violence. If sovereignty is cancelled yet again by putting the UK back under EU rule, I don't want to die in the stupid civil war you appear to encourage. For all US readers who think the UK should be in the EU, ask yourself: Would you allow the US to become a forcibly conquered country, against the will of the majority of the population, and for the US to be ruled by a completely unelected foreign government? You would then be exploited to enrich people you have never heard of or voted for, who are given the right to pay no income tax. Any price was worth it to leave. The EU has always treated the UK as a conquered enemy, to be punished. Of course freedom is better than being ruled by your enemy. The US can make their own choices, so don't compare the two issues as no one is threatening to conquer the US and end their existence as a sovereign country (the EU did that to the UK). I'm sick of extremists like you who can't cope with democratic outcomes.
