"It would be interesting to know how many of those people were saying it because the £ had just tanked and so saying that it was for economic reasons would have made them look like idiots."

Well that wouldnt work. They would actually look reasonably bright. Even the remain campaign pointed out the benefits of leaving but they put a negative spin on it. Since the recession the gov and BoE have been trying to get inflation back to target, raise the base rate and reduce house prices which is why Carney and Osborne were given odd looks as they complained about these things. Brexit would also boost exports and give us access to cheaper imports.

Economically the EU has the single market. But that must be balanced with their dangerous currency, cartel tariffs and political intrusions.
