Brexpat?

In the film 'Good Fellas' , one of the gangsters imitates a scene from the Godfather and says 'and when I try to get out, they pull me back in'. That's the feeling I have toward politics. You can try to ignore those who govern us, ignore their corruption, the obvious hypocrisy, their blatant misuse of public funds to enrich their friends in the private sector, but ignore as you may there will always be a moment when you are forced to face up to and take a stand on one or other moral question this system throws up. The only problem there is that once you start thinking about one problem it leads to another and another until you realize there is no 'one problem' but a system that is so intricately connected and interwoven the head spins when thinking about solutions. Shifting one of the building blocks of the 'system' we live in can lead to consequences far beyond the original idea of 'change' we had.
So it is with Brexit. Do I need to re-cap? David Cameron was (electorally) forced into the referendum to counter the threat of UKIP to his party, the (arrogant?) thought behind it being 'people will never endorse such idiocy'. This arrogance led to a poorly organized campaign on behalf of the 'remain' camp and underestimated the 'gut feeling' among voters who were and are tired of the political establishment. It's the same arrogance that Theresa May has put on display, calling a 'snap' election to increase her 'mandate' - she failed. Now there is a situation of political disarray in the UK with the Tories having to rely on the DUP, the political wing of Jurassic Park, and this could lead to a shift back to the politics and violence of yesteryear in Northern Ireland.
So the UK has in a year gone from being a sometimes quirky but stable member of the EU to a disorientated, stumbling bumbling idiot of a next door neighbour, and why? politics, and I mean the game of politics as in 'power', as opposed to politics as in 'the organisation of society for the good of the many'.
I'm not a supporter of the EU as it is organized now, it's too distant from the people of europe, there is corruption ,misuse of public funds (sound familiar) and a lack of transparency and democracy. But in an ever smaller world I enjoy being european, the ability to travel and settle where I like on this old continent, the thought of bad as it might be, it's kept europe at peace with each other for years and years. The EU needs to change, but wouldn't it be better to change from within ?
So now I ,as many Brits who have made Europe their home, have an uncertain future, all of a sudden our lives have been drawn into question, into a political argument that is not of our making, we are a 'problem' that has to be solved, whereas we thought we were just getting on with our lives.
Again the randomness of 'nationality' the 'luck of the draw' of where a person fell to earth and within which lines and boundaries he or she was born becomes the main divider. I didn't want to get involved in the 'Brexit' debate, every time a discussion was started 'I tried to get out, but they pulled me back in'.
