Brexit - Quotes about Great Britain leaving the EU

Brexit Analogy; We've all been on a night out with a mate who says, "it's shit here - let's go somewhere else." Then, when you leave, you realise he has no idea where to go and the place you left won't let you back in. The United Kingdom is standing in a kebab shop at 2 am, arguing about whose fault it is.

This was a long and winding road but we have got a good deal to show for it. The deal is fair and balanced and it is now time to turn the page and look to the future. The UK remains a trusted partner.

The European Union cannot be compared to the United States. America is a nation, but Europe is not.
