You can always leave anytime you want, pick a country and get a flight.

If he done that for outside Europe he would be "inconvienced" in the long "non-EU" customs line.

A lot of people want to cut off their own noses despite their faces regards to Europe.

They also forget that alot of non full members are actually in the EEA and aligned in their laws and can become full members any time, infact Iceland is furthering discussions of becoming a full member.

They also forget by being outside the EU and also the EEA would make them not as competitive due to higher tarrifs when trading from outside to inside the EEA and EU.

The EU has actualy upheld and strenghthened and aligned privacy rights laws that the UK has trampled (been in the news lots of time).

A lot of companies in those coutnries that leave the EU would have to most likely close due to their existing inter EU markets, collapsing due to higher tarrifs if outside the EEA.

The EU and EEA has saved lots of small companies by opening up new markets as their existing local markets died off.

For all their BNP, EDL and patriotism huff puffing and being anti Europe, they would be WORSE off if outside the EEA.

Lets not fool ourselves the UK will not leave the EU or EEA. Go ahead, I dare you.
