Nobody has chosen a life outside of the EU, and why do the likes of you and DrB feel the need to call everyone that doesn't share your viewpoint a 'moron'? That's expected from folks like TheSausageman who enjoys aimless rants and cliches, but becomes rather boring when many posters drop down to that level.
It's not binary, Britain is still in Europe geographically, politically and economically, but we voted not to continue with the ever closer ties and new political framework that some bureaucrats in Europe envisage. It is clear from listening to some of these Euro commissioners and other high titled folk that they see Europe as a single governance area with them making decisions - Britain doesn't want that; we want to work with Europe, partner Europe, not be controlled by European commissioners and presidents with agendas that do not parallel our own and whom we did not elect.
Britain still has the problems of our own useless politicians, corrupt banks and their money politics, terrible foreign policies and decades of internal mismanagement. But, now, moving forward, we will not have another layer on top of that with the same problems that is further detached and opaque to the nth degree.

Just been looking at some currency charts because the BBC and others have been quoting chaos and disaster...
The pound v dollar is at the same rate it was at in 2008 - doesn't sound like a 50 year low to me as per the BBC quoted on one program I watched.
The pound v euro is higher now than the average level during the last 7 or 8 years.
