The thing I disagree with though is that your children are at risk because if anything they will reap the rewards. There will be sh*t but that's coming now and for the next few years, in the long term without the restrictions and red tape provided by the EU we can flourish and do better than ever.
Most of the people who were scare mongering about how we will be shunned once outside of the EU have already done a complete U turn and said they can't wait yo deal with us.
The thing about those regulations is that the evidence is that they're actually a net positive.
Think about it. In a market of of 28 separate countries, rather than having 28 separate sets of regulation, the EU provided one set of rules. If you manufacture goods or provide services within the regulations, you can sell anywhere into the common market without the costs of adapting to each country. Therefore if we want to continue to sell into the EU we'll have to continue to abide by those regs.
Keep in mind, in terms of exports, we need the EU more than they need us. 50% of our goods go to the EU, whereas only 6% of the EU's goods are bought by the UK.
With regards to the "scare mongering"; it seems any facts the leave camp don't like are dismissed as scare tactics.
It is not in the EU's interest to grant the UK special treatment, and they've been clear that there will be no concessions. They need to keep their union together by disincentivising other countries from trying to leave. There are elections coming up in Spain, Holland and France. In fact they are trying to figure out how they can pressure the UK to trigger article 50 and exit as soon as possible, to avoid a long period of harmful uncertainty.
