After a 4 month marathon I finished this book by Yanis Varoufakis:

The thing that surprised me the most is how this became such as huge fuck up. In the book you get a very good insight into the machinations of the EU (as well as the IMF). I can wholly sympathise with the huge dilemma TM has had these last 2 years. To get the best for the UK but at the same time - leave. The EU has become a snake of an organisation. It delivered huge economic growth for some at the major expense of others (Southern Europe). It is a political organisation with the ultimate goal of creating a Federal Europe with little or no democratic agenda. The Euro is a joke of a currency - no central bond supporting it, one monetary policy but with 19 differing fiscal policies

What a complete shambles. Personally I think we should just come out and go onto WTO rules and visas for travel (unless negotiated otherwise) and if people get poorer for it than that is price we should all collectively pay for deciding to leave a trading bloc. IMO it is time that people began to take responsibility for their actions, whether that brings ill or fortune. So people who voted to leave and expect to be better off are in for a surprise. Similarly people who voted to remain and cry when they lose should get over themselves. 30 million people voted and the remainers lost.
