--- no, you're spot on, posing, if the UK had "left as the people wanted" you wouldn't be in this current situation. Here's a possible scenario: The pound would be around parity with the dollar which would be fitting, as you'd be in some sort of economic arrangement with the US which would reduced England and Wales to some sort of vassal fifty-first US state, an offshoot of corporatist America, perhaps most similar to Puerto Rico? Boris Johnson would have already become PM and scrapped the NHS, reduced taxes for corporations, not that they pay it anyway, and reduced top rates of income tax. Major reforms of employment law would deprive ordinary workers of their hard-one and already inadequate rights. There would social unrest and regular rioting in socially deprived areas and little thought of dealing with any environmental issues. Scotland would become independent, (and N Ireland would re-unite with the republic) and a few million English would be trying to escape to that country, except that Scotland would have to reinstate Hadrian's wall to stop being overrun, and with the wall already there, they wouldn't even have to get advice from Trump on how to do this.
