Well, it makes sense.
After are part of a political movement bent on ruining your country economy and almost everything in international relation, and even in that organization you're to messed up to be kept it's pretty obvious you should prepare for inflation since every one of your action if in power would make it happen
What country are you from (just kinda curious).
I supported the idea of the UK leaving the EU but without much changing.... We could've attempted to form an agreement with the nordic or Switzerland instead. Atm I think a lot of stuff going to and from Canada are zero rated so at worse, we could probably negotiate the same deal with them (zero rating customs) and continue trading as if we were in the EU just with oyt own set of rules for things we use within the UK... Federations often have a bad ending to them (or a bad start) look at Russia, China, the US all massive and all with large flaws a small series of countries would find much easier to remove.
I don't like the idea of having big federations, I even think the UK is too big and would support us splitting into 7-14 countries...
The current government have gone about almost everything wrong and that's something I'd agree with, where was a second referendum (like every other democratic referendum needs)?
Ukip became very complacent within the European commission too but I don't know if they were burnt out candles by that point (how hard it is to pass reformation legislation) or if they'd just given up on the idea of ever cooperating with the EU.
