About 80% of Britain's economy depended on being a part of the EU. That was all changed by the referendum, which took place six years ago. During this time there were opportunities to mitigate the damage by either voting for Theresa May's Brexit deal or voting for Corbyn's Labour in order to have another referendum. None of those opportunities received enough support. Thus now it is possible for everyone to see the benefits of being outside the EU - hardly a better state to be in than when Britain was a EU country.
