That's okay if you disagree with me, I'm just happy those who see it the way I do have turned out at the polls in larger numbers than those who feel the way you do. 
This comment was meant in good spirit, just in case it doesn't come across in the written word.
You have ignored the EU financials, which is the elephant in the living room, and the main reason for Brexit. From an ideological point of view, has it unified the continent? Or has it driven wedges between nations after bailouts? Which is by the way a broken promise by the EU, the promise was no bailouts. Have we ever seen the levels of long term unemployment we have now? The austerity measures? Have we ever seen the rise of populist movements like we have now? Most importantly, has the gap between the rich and the poor ever been greater than it is now?
One of the main arguments for Brexit was that the EU is run like a giant Ponzi scheme, and they are right. No transparency, no accountability, no checks and balances.
Here's a good article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...atic-elite
A quote from the article: "The eurozone is economically moribund, persists with policies that have demonstrably failed, is indifferent to democracy, is run by and for a small, self-perpetuating elite, and is slowing dying."
Your argument only works if the centralization of power is not corrupted. This is Britain safeguarding itself from a sinking ship. Look at Norway. Look at Switzerland. Are they excluded from trade? Quite the contrary. They are thriving! Britain has given the elite a blood nose, good for them!
