My bet is after awhile they get sick of it and rejoin (or at least try to) once the current leadership in the UK is ousted. It was always just a plan to crash the English economy and allow the wealthy buy up more real estate at bargain prices from those forced to sell. That's mostly done now so the wealthy Brexit backers don't much care what happens. Just gonna take a bit of time for all the suckers that got duped into voting for it to get over thier shame and support rejoining (or they don't come around and just die off, either way)

I think your theory about the wealthy is a bit far fetched. The wealthy that has a business has lost/is losing a lot and still some of those voted for Brexit. It is more about ideology than common sense. One of the main reason is that people can't stand the fact some rules decided by non English people apply to them. A mistake from the EU commission is to meddle in too many things that infringe on the culture of a particular country. This problem of "ideology" vs fact or common sense is becoming quite tiresome as it applies to so many things these days. For example in the energy sector which is now costing us greatly...

You miss my point. The average person tired of EU rules didn't bankroll millions in "pro-brexit" ad campaigns- someone with millions to spend (and many more to make) did.
