Just saw a poll which said Public support for Brexit is at an all-time low, with one in five Brexiteers now saying they think it was wrong to vote to leave the EU. If you had a chance to vote again how would you vote - trying to make it a goady thread so feel free not to mention if you were remain or leave last time.

For me - I'd vote remain

Oh goody. More division and hostility. Just what we need right now. For fucks sake, get a life and let it go

why? what is happening to the UK right now is worse than it otherwise would be, see OECD, OBR, IMF, IFS reports on this.

you might like extra hardship, i dont.

so no i wont let it go.

Tbh, worth it again to light the touch paper and see people spin on their axis another 6 years.

You don't seem to understand the concept of differing opinions. Maybe that's why remain lost. You can't just tell people people something and expect them to accept it if it is contradicted by their lived experience.

You don't seem to understand the concept of facts.

The world is run by people like this currently. Giving a drooling jeer to everyone else's poverty and distress because there's only a yawning space where intellect or compassion should be. Depressing.

Remain again. Especially now that "Project Fear" has been proven to be "Project Fact".

The lies that were perpetrated during that shocking campaign should have rendered the result invalid.

Yes we lost.
Yes I'm bitter.
No I won't move on.

Economic loss isn't an opinion, whatever people believed would happen or how they considered their lives to be in 2016, Brexit has caused the country to be poorer in these challenging times.

A responsible Govt would seek to minimise the impacts, our Govt isn't.

If they said, for instance, my partner's a builder and his rate has gone up 50% and we've never had it so good then I would respect that. It's a point of view based on experience and we are probably much more selfish than we like to admit. But we rarely get that, Brexit was a bonfire party for many of the dispossessed and left behinds who lunch out on the feeling that they gave a big kick up the backside of the establishment and a class used to having EE nannies and villa holidays in Tuscany. They seem unwilling or unable to see the bigger picture of why they can't get a dentist or a doctor or our supermarkets increasingly look like a bomb has hit them and we are all measurably poorer for no good rhyme or reason.

We did have the opportunity to vote again for Brexit, in the 2019 General Election, and the electorate voted overwhelmingly for the pro-Brexit parties of Labour and Conservative.
The only party who would have stopped Brexit, the LibDems, garnered little support.

Slowdayinfleetstreetisit · 25/11/2022 09:25

I suppose though in 2019 things looked very different to how they do now and we're starting to live with the consequences of Brexit.

I'd definitely vote Remain

SparklyMistleToes · 25/11/2022 09:31

I genuinely can't think of one good thing that has come out of Brexit. I am angry with the people who voted to leave and don't think any of them were thinking very clearly when they did so. I feel like many of those who don't already regret their leave vote likely will within the next few years. Yes. I am still bitter about the whole thing. 😑

One day probably a British fascist will come that will knit together all the grievances into a coherent powerful message that will gain sufficient traction amongst a minority. Brexit showed the way. The last such person was Sir Oswald Mosley our very own Hitler. Farage is too lazy and Trump too narcissistic and corrupt. Democracy has never looked more fragile I'm my lifetime sadly.

and then there is the time when she weighed in discretely but powerfully on Scottish independence. On that, I agree with her but that's not the point. Oh and King Charle's on architecture and all the rest and more importantly lobbying secretly for exemptions from taxes and regulations on the royal estates - they can't have it both ways.
