Now, the UK, I believe, and this is only my opinion, that the UK, if unhappy about what was happening in the EU, should have used its influence to steer it to a different direction. In the end, France and Germany have done it and the UK had the power to do it as well. You decided to leave instead. And that's unfortunate. I hope it's for the best for you but... I still think that you staying and being the cynical member pointing out problems that may arise would have been more beneficial both for the EU and for you.
