To suggest there is a common EU view ex UK is about as valid as saying there is a common view of the EU in the UK.

If a majority of the population do not truly believe in the EU project why is it not best for all concerned that we educate them of its value?
Leaving might be best for those who stand to financially benefit from doing so. But I cannot accept the logic that it is best for all concerned.
As someone who is very pro-EU, how is leaving the EU the best outcome for you? How do you stand to benefit?

On a personal level, it impacts my family as my daughter did have ideas of spending some time living and working in France, which will no doubt e harder in the future if she wishes to. My employment is less secure, or could have been, as we rely on using native French, German, Italian, Spanish etc. but only have a UK office, so the costs are likely going to increase over time. I don;t see anything good for me on a personal level by being Out.

I did not vote and fully believe we are financially worse off by leaving. I would prefer us to remain, clearly, but feel it would have continued to be a painful existence, politically speaking. Leaving at least rips that plaster off, but you are right, it's like hitting a child to prevent it from causing harm to itself. There wasn't ever going to be a good ending once the question was asked - which it shouldn't have been, not the way it was. I blame the politicians who are now trying to stall the thing - they are just as guilty of undermining the whole concept of being in the EU.
The Tories have been savvy with their "Get Brexit Done" slogan. They want people to think that if we leave, it'll be painful, but at least it'll all be over with. And the reality is nothing will be over with.

Remain then (never understood the need for it or the wild claims behind it)
even more remain now. What a giant shit-show con job it is.
A giant self-serving power grab, much worse than any Real ‘EU problem’
can only wish people make more informed and reasons votes going forward, Somehow I doubt that.
