I agree with most of what John Duggan and Martin Walters said, and
ChrisB. However, the media did try to find out what the leave camp
wanted a new arrangement to look like and I think they failed, probably
because there was not a single answer, and a majority of the electorate
was happy to kick the present establishment because immigration is
high. (It is noticeable that many of the most successful areas of
England voted 'Remain', often with substantial margins.) A major
problem for those, whoever they are, who will have to negotiate with
the EU on behalf of the UK in future months will be deciding what they
actually want/expect the new arrangement to look like. Meanwhile,
however we voted, everyone in the UK will have to put up with the
consequences while those in the USA might wish to ponder whether the
anti-establishment vote here has any similarities to those who might
vote for Trump (who apparently welcomed the UK result).
