The only argument that makes me question my stance is the fact that the "leave" side was pushing some serious lies on people. They gave the public the impression that a Brexit would only mean they would gain back their independence and nothing else would change. They made people promises that they would gain control over their laws and borders and they would still enjoy all of the economic benefits and still be able to travel throughout the EU. Those were outright lies.

So what do you do in a situation like that, democratically speaking?

Once Brexit was announced I suggested that Northern Ireland and Scotland should have the choice to leave the United Kingdom and stay with the EU; as the whole motivation of Brexit it sovereign nation. But I can likewise see that might be sorta like saying California can elected their own President.

As to what will change; we don't know. The US does pretty good economically and is not a member of the EU. UK may just be required to find new trade partners if the rest of EU doesn't want to play ball.
