The free trade argument is for me the weakest in terms of justifying a leave vote. In terms of trade it would certainly be safer to remain as going it alone would obviously represent a massive leap into the unknown. Better the devil you know, and all that. For me it's really about the EU's increasing hostility to democracy.
But this is such a toxic issue in the UK now that I'd rather just agree to disagree with those who see things differently. It fundamentally divides Britain -as we're now seeing from the way it's essentially tearing both major political parties apart (don't believe that the split in Labour is a consequence of the anti-semitism row; it's Brexit) and the same thing is gonna happen to the Conservatives.
