This is it exactly. Staying (and therefore nothing changing) was a really bad option for millions of people.

Brexit was change. And maybe, just maybe it would be a change for good. Staying and project fear did not offer hope.

To change the things that are controlled by the UK government, you need to vote for a different UK government.

I'm not sure, the left wants to offer more welfare, the right crappy minimum wage jobs and the populists offer pie in the sky. I don't think any of them have a real solution.

There was a thing called [left-exit] that a lot of us voted for. There was also a good [green-exit] argument which made a lot of sense. Just because these are both almost hopeless...

And yet without a goal and a plan voting for Brexit is just as bad.

Hope is not a strategy. Luck is not a factor. Fear is not an option. -- James Cameron
