I stated 50 years, but it could very well be a hundred. Hopefully not.

Either way, 50 years is a long period of time as far as our individual lifespans are concerned, but minute in terms of the history of a nation.

That vote was a vote upon the future of my nation, which I hope will outlive me by a very long stretch. The nation is more important that my own individual needs. Therefore I am fully prepared to accept the temporary negative consequences of Brexit for the sake of preserving sovereignty and hopefully ensuring future prosperity; even if I can't live long enough to see it.
