Do you think we'll regret this decision now the EU wants us gone and we are about to take a hit on the economy?

No! It would have been a mistake to remain in the EU.
But in the long run, this is the best possible outcome.
Depending on what happens in the EU, it could be a big mistake. Or not. I don't think the EU really wants to UK gone, but now the decision has been made they want it done quickly. The idea of waiting til October to start the process isn't going down well.
I agree. This is the best way in the long run.
I think the EU has lost it's way, and I can't help thinking that we have dodged a bullet in the long run.
Scotland screwed up when it voted against independence.
I screwed up when I held onto my shares nest-egg in Standard Life, thinking that a remain vote was inevitable.

No, they are looking after the interests of the EU. What did you expect?
Yes.
The End.
The EU isn't being very wishy washy now.:o
Several reasons why the tired line of "you made your bed, now lie in it" doesn't work:
* The council, which is making the plea, may have a different opinion to the majority
* There are 43% of us who didn't vote to leave the EU
* One of the "promises" or "suggestions", depending on who you ask, is that the UK government would pay for all this stuff, whether it's EU development funding for Cornwall and Wales, or EU research grants, etc. So now it's fair to ask if the UK gov is going to go ahead with this
* Even if 100% of Cornwall wanted to remain, we'd still be leaving the EU, and we'd still be asking this question
They are looking after the political organisation called the EU, whereas they should be, and should always have been, looking after the interests of the citizens of the EU. The working class of the EU are a source of cheap labour and what is in their interests are of no importance to TPB, either in the UK or the EU. That is whey we are now in this situation.
Not this week we haven't
When will this prospering start?
very pesimistic...3-4 years at most..but like you belive in the long run we will benefit..i ask people who wish to talk up buyers remorse..to stop it!..the country has spoken, europhiles like vince cable saying maybe the eu will come back to us with a immigration brake? will say and do anything to try to worry and scare people..as a man of the left i worry about tory attacks on the poorest...but if my country votes for that..then thats democracy...its up to labour to win and put it right ..not worry about the eu...that enslaves the poorest in greece for a lifetime.....forward britain..not backwards.
We are in this situation because the people of Britain voted to leave.
Give everything time to settle.
I don't understand how.
We are a service economy - we depend a lot on the Financial institutions in London - that will now erode.
There is an international joke that Britain produces very little and what it does produce no-one wants. I don't see how our manufacturing base can grow without huge investment and I don't see where that investment will come from.
... China? Have we really given up on democracies like France and Germany to get into bed with China?? If so .. we will soon learn what it really means to give away our sovereignty.
How about a Texit?

The next stage is to get rid of our own Right wing government.
"We are voting to decide whether we want to be inside, or outside the EU, when it collapses in a few years time"

Yep - Boris or Gove as PM, then a few years of ultra right neoliberalism carnage of our own, and after than Corbyn will lead us tot the new Jerusalem of social democracy.
To be replaced by an even more right wing UKIP one?
