The British population changed its mind (Or had its mind changed for it in many cases) between 1975 and 2016 of course. Do keep up.

Simple. We aren't discussing it. We are discussing our membership. But you're happy to continually discuss economic forecasts should we ever leave the bloc but turn a blind-eye to the current economic problems facing the bloc?

Blah blah blah blah, traitor. Oh well, I tried to explain how things are now but as you seem to have stopped the clock in June 2016 there is little more I can do to help you come to terms with the way things actually are. There will be a GE. Johnson will lead the Conservatives on a platform that says that Parliament stopped him doing what "we" asked him to do. The opposition is divided and will split the vote against the Tories who will also suffer losses to Farage. The Tories will likely win, or have to form a coalition with Farage who will demand a harder Brexit than this deal. That's what all this is about. It's as much electioneering as was the Queen's speech last week. I would not be surprised to see Johnson pull the bill after his timetable is voted down and invite a no confidence motion, which the SNP would gladly propose. That would kill any amendments. So unfortunately I think you will ultimately achieve your wish, just not in the way you think it ought to be delivered. Of course I could be wrong. I certainly hope I am.

They are very well aware of the current economic turndowns in some EU countries. Ups and downs are inevitable but they don't undermine the fundamentals. The EU makes us all stronger. Working together in today's global economy is essential.

Meanwhile Germany is now in recession I think that you should have included some quotes from the article in your post Quote The troubles affecting Germany come amid weakness across much of Europe – including the UK. However, while the British economy also contracted in the second quarter, by 0.2 per cent, it is expected to have returned to growth in the third quarter, staving off recession.
The performance of the British economy since the Brexit referendum in June 2016 has made a mockery of claims by Remainers that a Leave vote would tip the UK into recession and lead to as many as 820,000 job losses. Instead, employment has risen by 946,000 since the vote, and unemployment is below 4 per cent at levels not seen since the 1970s.

Anticipated for a while, manufacturing based economy with exposure to China. Has benefited for a long time from a weak euro, metrics not working for Germany right now. However the integration of East Germany has been quite an achievement - and for the record Angela Merkel is East German. So you'll swallow a bit of EU down turn for the greater good but not the UK.

Another "country"! That's a protest group. We had them even before we joined the EEC. People protest and demand referendums on all sorts of things but that doesn't mean their country wants it. So the minority want a referendum, is that how it now works, the minority get what they want?

The only point I have been making is that as the future affects them very much more than it affects us the decision on remaining or leaving ought to be weighted in their interests rather than ours. If you genuinely believe that by leaving they will have a better future then, whilst I disagree with you, I respect that decision. If however you are voting solely on your own preference then I urge you to think of their's too.
