I'm not sure economically ... the price of fossil fuels is bound to go up again and the UK is sorta on the edge location wise.
It all depends on BREXIT team's plans but I've little confidence in the lot. Or in the current lot, but at least you sorta know where you stand.
A little miffed also that there's no clear vision on what's to happen to EU immigrants (dirty job stealers like me) or expats (like this lovely English bloke in the Dutch town where my parents live)
Such an opportunity to define a new UK but...same old, same old?

Immigration isn't something I believe will matter either way.
On exit all future trade deals with the EU will be contingent on the same/similar free movement of people. Maybe there will be some slight restrictions allowing us to nab a greater number of skilled workers from developing countries.
If we stay I think we'll have some minor fluffing and negotiation on the number/rate of people from new member counties.
Net net, I am dubious about anyone's claim it will change either way.
In fact imo the vast majority of the brexit "advantages" put forward, willdifference either way.

For me the biggest concern is whether Europe has the ability to tackle the current crisise, and maintain itself as a dominant force going forward.
While I care about sovereignty, our political system is already so undemocratic it invalidates any concern about EU supremacy. Economically, I think we'll be fine either way long term, and I'm dubious how much difference there would be.
I am hoping we stay and that gives a clear vote of confidence to other countries suffering the same isolationist wobbles.
