As often discussed in the last years. There were a number of very good reasons for Brexit and a number of very good reasons against Brexit. However, these reasons were rarely exchanged due to a joint failure of political culture and media incompetency in the UK and even worse in Germany and Austria (probably in the rest of Europe too, but I can only judge the media discourse in these two countries).
There were clearly no so called »rational«, hard arguments as the nonsensical economic predictions of both sides suggested. In a highly complex situation none of those are worth anything. Predictions are moot.
It was a judgement of values and expectations. For instance: do we have trust in the capability of the EU in political and economic terms? Do we believe that the Euro was established and is governed in a reasonable and trustworthy manner?
If you answer these and similar quesions with no, you clearly want to be the first leaving the sinking ship, not the last. Current German and European performance in terms of energy and economy indicates that the British sceptics very well might have been correct.
