to give us all the myriad examples of why leaving the EU is going to benefit us in the long term.

why continued membership of the EU was a good idea?
If you're scared of change and thinking for yourself that's fine. Order some blankets from IKEA and hide under them.
No-one has ever stated the eventual direction of the EU. Its eventual goal. And end point. And what life will be like then. Blind acceptance of the EU is mindless.

you sound like a Sinn Fein spokesperson when asked did they justify a shooting.

this is a contradiction. I'm sure you don't understand why.

Here are the main reasons why continued membership of the EU would have been a good idea for us, and remains a good idea for the remaining members.
Peace:
Specifically for us, Brexit invites a return to civil war AKA the 'Irish Troubles.' It also weakens our ties with those who have been our fiercest rivals in the past, increasing the risk of war in Europe overall. It also invites Russia to take the piss even more than it did when we were backed up by our tougher allies.
Prosperity:
Frictionless trade, free movement of goods, services and people as part of the largest free trade zone in the world. All gone. For cheaper TimTams, whatever they are.
Influence:
We used to have it. Now we are nothing more than a loudmouth shitcountry, subservient to just about everyone because Brexit forced us to abdicate our leadership role in world affairs. Because of fish that we don't eat, or something.
Freedom:
Before we had our European citizenship taken from us against our will, we had more rights and freedoms than we do now. The tories want to remove even more, ostensibly to prevent prisoners from voting, but it will remove the most basic and fundamental human rights from all of us. For what? So we can send kippers through the mail.
