All the alarms and no surprises

I think what amazes me is that people actually believe there will be a choice after brexit reaps its way through the UK. Brexit will already be pretty damaging, but if any of the policies certain right-wing and elite classes have been suggesting from differentiated deals in london to unilateral free trade then if the economic argument was good enough halt independence for some people, I'd argue that it will look like a paradise once it's had to endure conservative austerity that has, by recent headlines, failed to produce growth alongside increasing trade barriers while business flees to the EU or where-ever it can in the UK (London) to survive.

The ideal timetable would have been within a year from now to hold a referendum, to avoid the harshest possible outcome of brexit but the UK decided to have a hung parliament so it's most likely chaos for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile Scotland will be lucky to preserve any form of self-autonomy as the country is stripped of at least 2 decades of political progress within the UK.

Personally, if you're not leaving the UK or looking for methods to retain EU citizenship if you're a young person or studying I don't know what the fuck you're doing.
