I think it will be good for two reasons. First, it will make UK governments more accountable to their voters. Second, it should make us more outward-looking and internationalist. (I realise many Remainers think the opposite, and some Leavers wish the opposite, but I think it's true.)

However, it all depends what we, and successive governments, make of Brexit. As someone else commented, it will be a long time before anyone can say with confidence that Brexit has, or has not, been a good thing.

@milkymum1 I don’t think any recent government has hidden behind the EU. On the contrary, the Cameron government campaigned to remain in the EU and the Brown and Blair governments were very pro-EU. Of course it’s true that individual politicians have blamed the EU for all sorts of things.

As to the present government, I think it is doing its best to implement the decision of the majority while also representing the interests and opinions of the minority, which is what any responsible government would have had to try to do.
