You would instead have to reorganise your finances, yes?

Or, over half the country was being forced to remain against their will.

Now you are being nonsensical. There was a referendum. Unsurprisingly, the majority decided the outcome.

Democratically.

Democratically.

Although Nigel Farage did say he would not accept such a close vote if it were remain and would consider it "unfinished business".
