Nonsense. Britain loses out, becomes a small insignificant island grouping off the coast of mainland Europe. Europeans are more likely to pity the British than agree with them. As shown in the report, some EU countries have gained from brexit, but what has the UK gained? I'm still waiting to hear/see/read any benefit whatsoever from brexit for the UK. Keep in mind the lies told (no more red tape) and the manoeuvres used (Cambridge Analytica) to accomplish the hood-winking of enough uneducated or greedy or xenophobic brits. What was the real purpose of brexit? In my opinion it was to try to weaken the EU and cause chaos in the UK. It has worked perfectly where the UK is concerned, but I think, as the man said, the UK is a shining example of leaving a good situation and entering a terrible one and therefore an excellent deterrent to any other EU country. It's much better to be in the club than outside the club.

I can see more and more people who are British or from British territories have been denied a vote even though it also affects them. I am one of the many EU British residents who have also been denied a vote. Whatever the outcome a basic principal should be to allow all areas where British and British territories exist should have been allowed a vote.

Bad governance by over paid commissioners who cant be voted out

England never really bought in to the European Project - EU membership was seen as a transaction rather than a commitment from the heart to mutual security and prosperity. There was a truculence born from a mindset of British exceptionalism - we might have stepped out of 'colonial robes' and status as a super power but not the associated mindset or at least not for oldest third of the population to which I belong. We are now faced with digesting a lot of humble pie and coming to terms with the grim consequences - an embarrassing reversal only achievable over 10 or more years or the disintegration of the UK. A fractious social and political environment is unavoidable.

One aspect is the role of the EU as the scapegoat for UK. The EU was always blamed for the domestic problems of the UK. Unfortunately this still goes on as many people in the UK do not understand that the rules for 3rd countries apply to UK as well. They seem to have problems to accept that UK has no special status - that UK is not something that should get special treatment. There was the Christmas deal with UK and EU, showing that UK got anyhow some better conditions than it could have had. The UK avoided horribly bad situation that no deal WTO-level situation would have caused. Unfortunately many brexiteers do not seem to be able to understand that this is the situation that EU was warning since many years. Instead the brexiteers seems to blame EU for bullying UK. They are not able to understand that the EU is simply following the rules that were written by big influence of UK when UK was member of the EU. Actually now I hope that the Christmas deal will be dumped and the WTO terms will come in place. Otherwise EU will be the scapegoat for the brexiteers forever. Better to zero the situation, start from scratch and build a up new relationship from the basics. Some years with WTO terms would show what the benefits of trade agreements are. And the scapegoating the EU for everything might finally end.

Watch the next few years of growth, of our pre-EU growth rates, the things we do differently, the value of common law over canon law, the value of liberty. Germany dominates the EU at the expense of others, at the expense of innovation in multi-sectors. Now Germany is the insurer for every poorer country around it that has sacrificed themselves for Germany economic dominance. German people deserve better. Anyone can make quasi-socialism work for a few decades. The British system has worked for centuries. Maybe, just maybe, there is a lesson to learn from us there.

This is a day of sadness. Britain’s departure remains a tragic national error. We have expelled ourselves from a union that was good for this country and the world. The role of the anti-European press in making this happen was decisive, so it is somehow fitting that a government led by journalists has slammed the door. But at least the EU can no longer be blamed for our continuing tensions, inequalities and failures of governance. These tensions cannot be magicked away. Brexit was opposed by majorities in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London and other cities, as well as by most young people and most graduates. None of that is going to change, whatever the overall majority verdict was in 2016 and however tired of the argument we all may be. This is a country divided over Europe. We were divided in the past and we will be divided in the future. Getting Brexit done is a fantasy. It is a supposed solution that only creates new historic problems. In 2016, many of the most fanatical Brexiters hoped the UK’s departure would trigger the EU’s breakup. Yet two of the most striking consequences of the vote were the unity of the EU27 in the face of Brexit compared with the growing disunity of the UK4 over the issue. The breakup of Britain rather than the EU is now the more likely prospect. It would be a terrible price to pay. But the delusions that fed and fostered Brexit still have much of the Conservative party and press in their grip, as a number of gloating speeches from the Tory benches on Wednesday indicated.

David Cameron MP, Went down in history as the biggest loser that I had England pulled out out of the EU.

Brexit is certainly a great argument against democracy. It's also a great argument for politicians being held accountable for their untruths. Unfortunately, what we now get in the UK is politicians with even more free reign to do whatever benefits them and harms the public.

Hmmm, thanks to Brexit a lot of EU citizens recognized the value of the EU for the first time. So, thank you UK !

I've got to say, this is an awfully one-sided take on brexit. It's possible to value international coöperation, the vibrancy of diverse languages and cultures, how travel broadens the mind, peace, and many more good things about the EU - without valuing, indeed, while actively rejecting the "institutional pressure", or the political underpinnings of the EU. This piece explored only the perspectives of leave and remain ultras, as if moderate positions don't exist. Some acknowledge the imperfections of the EU but come to differing conclusions, eg to promote reform from within or else to remain in the SM but leave the political institutions. I continue to hope that we will find rapprochement and find the best of both perspectives, perhaps once the grief inflicted by brexit subsides (and, likely, the fictional benefits that any sort of hard brexit entertained prove beyond all doubt to be illusions), but that rapprochement begins with letting go. This piece doesn't do that. Quite the contrary, it encourages resentment and perpetuation of that grief.

What do you mean with "the political underpinnings"? The EU was founded in origin to prevent a new world war by connecting with our neighbors rather than competing with them. The current political implementation is far from perfect. It's very slow and bureaucratic, but that actually helps to distribute the power. New laws need to be agreed by all member states and by a majority in parliament. And apart from making laws, the EU doesn't have a lot of power yet. The big downside is that the EU can't react swiftly to crisis situations. Think about the migration crisis, the financial crisis, or Covid. There are ways to improve that, like bringing border control or banking under EU command. But that would give the EU direct influence on the citizens, not something everybody wants.
