One year on was it worth it?

So I guess the answer for those who voted remain is obviously not, but we would say that. There are interesting articles in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... and-losers? and on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40382479 which would suggest not. The Leave voters will obviously state that these are from biased sources but are there any real positives? At the moment the country seems in a much weaker state than it was a year ago both in terms of our domestic situation and our place on the world stage, will still seem to have no clue what Brexit is actually going to look like and we could be heading towards two more years of chaos.
The only positives that I can see is that in a bizarre twist thanks to Mrs May's over inflated ego and reckless gamble we could see an end to the disastrous austerity programme. We have also seen a massive surge in young people registering to vote and expressing an interest in politics.
So far I can see no advantages for anyone except those who hold shares in international companies registered on the FTSE.
Whilst I can see that those who voted to leave could quite legitimately argue that we haven't left yet and we won't see the advantages until we do there still does not seem to be a plan to gain those advantages. If the figures about the demographics of those who voted are true, every day that goes by the potential Remain vote grows stronger and even if none of the original voters changed their minds we will soon be in the position that if the referendum were held again (as Nigel said it should be if it was this close) the vote would be reversed.
So those who voted to leave 'Was it worth it?' And given the wealth of information that has come out since, would you still have voted the same way?
P.S. hopefully I have posted this in the pub section so if you are not interested you can grab your drink and move on.
