I'm very patriotic chap as it happens. Patriots like me want the very best for their country but not at the expense of other countries or the people in them. The EU is about raising the game in all its member countries, many of whom have dismal histories of war and dictatorships in the last hundred years, about maintaining democracy, free movement of citizens and human rights and allowing them to pack a punch when it comes to trade. And the very best interests of this country would be served by our staying in the EU. On the other hand, the brexiteers seem to harbour the delusion that we can return to our pre-EU greatness (a main tenet of the delusion), sweeping across the globe mopping up the trade and showing Johnny Foreigner who's boss (and keeping him out of Blighty into the bargain). There's nothing patriotic about that. It's the path to doom. Patriots don't hack out the path to doom!

That is your opinion of what's best for the country.
The majority of the voting public didn't agree with you.
I do not wish to be part of a 'super-state' of Europe (which is where it's heading)
I don't believe that the EU is "raising the game in all member countries" Greece in particular (but not alone) is having major problems because they are shackled to a single currency.
As for 'Democracy' there is nothing democratic about being told to vote again, where a vote goes against the wishes of the bulk of the EU.(ask the Irish)
