TBH I'm glad the Brexit succeeded and Britain left. Now I'm hoping for Fixit and Finland leaving the whole Union. Don't get me wrong, the idea of an economic union in Europe is something that I support, not some weird pseudo-federal state that enforces laws never accepted or voted on by the populace, but by non-elected officials in Brussels.

The fact that Britain was able to leave the EU is a great start to show that the Union is not what it looks like and there are several serious problems that need to be dealt with, like the immigration crisis or the economic crisis, all of which have been made worse and worse by the EU itself.

Currently, Britain is still in the EU as it takes up-to two years for them to leave, but after that they will be able to deal with these problems by themselves and aren't bound by the EU rules and that is what, Farage for example, was trying to achieve. Independece from the rules and bounds of the Union that didn't match the British interests. And that is good. Having to give up your freedom to choose on what to do in certain situations, without the acceptance of your own citizens is not how democracy works. Though it will never work like that in a world such as this one, but I digress.

The pound has plummeted in value. And? This is still happening while they are in the EU, meaning that they can be easily travelled to from within the EU, making it incredibly attractive for tourists since now everything can be bought for cheap, thus increasing the local markets power and bringing in money to the state from the taxed revenue that the businesses make if the tourists travel there.

It isn't hell on Earth and end of the world because of Brexit. It's a demonstration to the EU to get it's shit together and actually work how the people want it to work, not how the bureaucrats with their business partners want.
