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.

Remain which I voted in the first place. However I'm disgusted by the EU mandarins and people like Macron who are feted on here. MN is in an elitist bubble. I can understand why people voted Brexit. If your life is shite what did you have to lose.

It will never cease to amaze me that people threw their toys out of the pram in such a largely ill considered fashion

They were lied to quite spectacularly. Told this would be the easiest deal, it could be done over a cup of tea.

Remain 1000%

#PeoplesVote March, 20 Oct Park Lane London.

No deal.

FarrahMoan · 04/10/2018 13:22

Remain then, remain now

@Eatmycheese

Good luck with that - on another thread last week someone actually posted "we did win two world wars you know!" as a reason why we'd be ok....

DioneTheDiabolist · 04/10/2018 13:32

Remain. I'm in NI so it's a no brainer.

MangoSplit · 04/10/2018 13:41

Remain

maddening · 04/10/2018 14:10

Remain

QuizzlyBear · 04/10/2018 14:14

Remain - I want my kids' futures to be secure!

lonelyplanetmum · 04/10/2018 14:15

Remain

I also think there needs to be more accountability for political campaigns ( and politicians) with false or misleading promises or misrepresentation.

bridgetoc · 04/10/2018 14:18

Lets respect democracy and make a clean break. No deal........

PhilomenaButterfly · 04/10/2018 14:18

Remain

Lets respect democracy and make a clean break. No deal

How many people who write this actually understand the democratic process?

(I’ll give you a clue, it’s nil)

Blinkingblimey · 04/10/2018 14:21

REMAIN!

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 04/10/2018 14:21

No Deal

UnconsideredTrifles · 04/10/2018 14:25

Remain.

I can understand why people voted Brexit. If your life is shite what did you have to lose.

I live in an area that voted leave, and the answer to that question is: additional rights and opportunities, improved working conditions, safer products and extra funding for our deprived areas (probably among many other things).

I remember finding it funny that every EU funded project had to be signed as such, but now I wish the signs had been a bit bigger so people realised what the EU was doing for them...

QuizzlyBear · 04/10/2018 14:28

Reading all the Remain responses has made me feel positive about the kind of people in this country again, thank you.

I've seen and heard so much xenophobia, intolerance and frankly, blinkered and ignorant 'we won, get over it' attitudes over the last two years that I was half convinced that the nation was peopled exclusively with nationalistic bigots and I'd just never noticed before. None of them want to discuss the detail of how Brexit could be done (treaties formed, trade deals done, entry requirements set, border issues etc) but carp on about how they 'got their sovereignty back'.

Thank you for restoring my faith in intelligent Britons Thanks

AQuestionofIntent · 04/10/2018 14:30

Remain. 100000000000000000000%

averylongtimeago · 04/10/2018 14:32

Remain.

A no deal will be a disaster for at least a generation.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Mumsnet is not the place to go if you want a barometer of public opinion.

Rainbowtrain · 04/10/2018 14:36

Remain

carbuckety · 04/10/2018 14:37

Remain. Though that's the answer I would always give. No matter what 'deal' the idiots dream up I want to stay in the EU. Was ecstatic when we joined. Heartbroken after referendum.

Paintingtheroseswhite · 04/10/2018 14:38

Remain

HirplesWithHaggis · 04/10/2018 14:39

Remain then, remain now. Was chatting with a committed Leaver friend-of-a-friend about parallels between Scottish indyref and Brexit, and the topic of forced emigration came up. Obviously this was in a Scottish context but applies equally to British attitudes and behaviours re Ireland too. His response was that anything that happened before we were born is "irrelevant" and that it's "backwards" to consider the influences of the past on the present day.

If this is a common attitude (and I have no idea if it is!) that might explain the insoucience Brexiters display towards the Irish border issue.
