Wise words MR. But we never have a counterfactual. If we leave, those who didn't want to will then blame everything from the trains running late to their football team not winning on that decision. If we don't the same will happen from the other side.

I'd also suggest that 5 years is too short a time. I think some of those who voted to leave were thinking more along the lines of "yes, it will be painful in the short term, but in the longer term it will have benefits". Maybe 15 years? It will take time for the economy, trade links etc. to adjust to the new market environment.
