Best reason to leave the EU would be not using the Euro anymore, but Britain never gave up the pound in the first place, so that's not an issue. Other than that it's just a gamble. You won't explicitly have to adhere to EU standards, but you may lose access to the common market, very bad. And there's no guarantee that many nations wouldn't insist on similar terms during individual trade negotiations. So in the end you may end up saddled with a quiltwork of complicated or equally onerous regulations anyway. Who knows?

@Xuan12 But you describe it solely in economic terms. I, and I think probably most Leavers, consider the economic arguments to be secondary.

@MartinII Maybe they do, but how does the government see it? They've been dragging their feet as hard as possible.

@Xuan12 It’s true that the government is uncertain, and to some extent divided. But I don’t think it’s dragging its feet. Rather, it’s doing its best to negotiate with an opponent which is doing the same.

@Xuan12 its a massive gamble and one i have no faith in our government acting on our best interests

compaines who trade with the eu will still have to though

yes the single market is a massive lose as a few of my friends have already lost there jobs becuase compines are sorucing from main land eu countries
