Initial brexit will not be as bad as some want to make believe, but the future will be. Nobody wins with brexit.

"Presumably in a state of collective shock after nearly 52 percent of voters in the referendum chose to leave the EU, the parliament approved the government’s decision to start the withdrawal process without a plan for doing so. Leaving aside that the referendum campaign was so poisonous that many refrained from publicly stating their preferences, the vote was conducted with dubious criteria from a democratic point of view – excluding EU citizens living in the United Kingdom, going against the recommendation of the House of Lords to extend the franchise to 16 year-olds (whose future was at stake), and not allowing Britons that had been living abroad for over 15 years to vote."
