Yeah well said. But I wonder if the choice would continue to look good to Europeans if the economic consequences continue as in the article I mentioned for another 15, 30, 45 years etc.
There's a thing I remember but not well enough to search for, where someone was asked to forecast the challenges the UK was about to face, and they went through the decades of the 20th century showing how the biggest and most obvious fears of each period had basically nothing to with how events actually unfolded.
