Is Brexit impossible?

Supranational bodies reduce competition between states via coordination of taxes and regulations, allowing a general increase of both. A single currency increases the inflationary potential of all member states (less competitor currencies, less alternatives to switch to in times of crises).

Given the power this provides, is it essentially impossible to leave a body like the EU through the democratic process?

And if we were to leave, it could only ever be in name only, before joining some other international cartel (perhaps CANZUK or a worldwide ‘emergency’ assembly on climate change that remains after the problem is solved).

I'm against the single currency and a natural euro skeptic.

Its a concrete question as to whether leaving now, in these circumstances and with this government is a good thing. Its not.

We can leave the EU but a no deal would be a disaster and there is no good deal which we have the power to negotiate.

I remember seeing a clip of Boris Johnson literally stating that they were going to "eat the cake and have it". It's telling that Johnson triumphantly used the very expression used to point out when someone tries to to achieve two opposing, contradicting and incompatible outcomes when explaining how he was going to "achieve" Brexit... These days a lot of people dismiss the sense of logic as burdensome nuisance and then they seem confused when things don't go the way they'd like...

Too many long words in your post for me. But the answer to your headline question is No,

Should have never been created in the first place. Yet, can't close Pandora's Box I suppose.
