All seems to indicate that it's now crunch time for the UK. In the style of another active thread, I'd like to ask you all what you'd go for if given a binary choice between No Deal at all with the EU or Remain.
No blame game or mud slinging, just simple polite answers please.

Always been remain and always will be. I am a firm believer that this should never ever have gone to a referendum in the first place.

Basically Brexit is a decision which has massive and long lasting social, economical, cultural and political ramifications. That's before we even touch on the Irish border and all the extra worries there.

It has been made by people who mostly have fuck all knowledge about economics, politics, Irish history, and the implications of what they were voting for. I still can't believe we have a government that made that call. Absolute fucking insanity quite frankly.

Totally agree slice. David Cameron should be shot for this shambles

firawla · 05/10/2018 00:17

Remain

TheDowagerCuntess · 05/10/2018 01:51

All history will remember Cameron for, is this.

RichPetunia · 05/10/2018 02:03

Out, so no deal, which reflects the way I voted. I've not changed my mind.

JellieEllie · 05/10/2018 02:21

Strange to read this thread and see practically 99% of posters saying remain when over half the population voted to leave. I would have expected to see more a lot leave comments.
I voted leave. Have now changed my mind and wish to remain.

Togaandsandals · 05/10/2018 02:21

Remain

If you want to know what the general public is thinking, Mumsnet should be the last place you look. Out of touch does not do Mumsnet madness justice.

JellieEllie · 05/10/2018 02:32

Bridge completely agree 😂 I just really expected more people to be honest and admit they voted out.

FoxFoxSierra · 05/10/2018 03:21

Remain, whatever the alternative was I would choose to remain

Not quite correct...

JellieEllie · 05/10/2018 03:42

Ok Dixie, of those who did vote. Half voted leave.

HurricaneFloss · 05/10/2018 03:47

Remain

Catnut · 05/10/2018 03:54

Remain (passionately!)

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 05/10/2018 04:04

Ok, who voted for junkers (& his little black/blue book of revenge) et al.?

I didn't & they were never on any voting slip I saw.

Cornishclio · 05/10/2018 05:42

Remain, same as I voted 2 years ago.

I wish people would stop saying the vast majority voted to leave. It was less than 52 % of the people who voted. A difference of less than 3% which is not the vast majority.

borntobequiet · 05/10/2018 05:44

Remain.

ChilliMum · 05/10/2018 06:08

Remain

LadyGAgain · 05/10/2018 06:10

Absolutely and 100% REMAIN.
I am so embarrassed by this current state of affairs and worry for the legacy (being dictated by a generation - most of whom won't be alive to witness the true effects) for my young children.
I work as part of a European team. They think we are bonkers. I agree. And I am yet to hear a coherent argument by a 'leaver' that isn't utter shite.

Kewqueue · 05/10/2018 06:12

Remain. So gutted that my rights are being stolen by this so-called democratic process.

capercaillie · 05/10/2018 06:21

Remain.

AuntBeastie · 05/10/2018 06:56

Remain

I'm not at all surprised at all. Many people stay away from these sorts of threads as often they turn into bun fights and circular arguments with name calling thrown in.

I am remain but these threads really aren't representative of the wider public.

n0ne · 05/10/2018 08:57

Remain, which is what I wanted all along. Full disclosure: I'm one of those Brits living on the continent so have maybe more of a vested interest than some. But I would have voted remain even if I'd never left, 100%

catdoctor · 05/10/2018 09:28

Remain
