The Irish voted no in the first Lisbon Treaty because it wasn't explained to them properly. The Irish Government explained the issues at stake a lot better the second time so the Irish voted yes. They could have voted no a second time if they chose. No one was holding a gun to their head.
The problem is no there isn't enough nurses and doctors in Britain to staff the hospitals.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...s-figures-showThe NHS is facing a deepening staffing crisis as hospitals report growing shortages of doctors, nurses, midwives and therapists, official figures have revealed.

The Commonwealth countries can't compare to the EU as far as trade goes. Australia and NZ were miffed when Britain ditched them for the EU (or whatever it was called then). They looked to their own region for trade and their biggest trading partners are Chinese and other Asians. What do you think a country like India will want from Britain in lieu of opening up their market? I'll bet you they will want better visas and entry to the UK for their population? Just wait and see.
Do people even research this stuff? I'm very pragmatic about these things and think UK is on a flight of fancy. I really hope they agree to stay in the customs union because I think that is the best deal for them at the moment but it is still not nearly as good as been a full EU member where they can actually influence decisions.
I'm in Australia so I think I'm objective on this topic but I am eligible for an Irish passport so that means an EU passport. Yay! Anyway I like you Lily as you know and I wish the UK the best.
