If there was another Brexit referendum would you vote the same way?

[marmeladerose]

By the way I am not for another Brexit referendum but I am seeing a lot about it on the news/social media and it got be wondering what everyone would vote if it did happen and what did you vote before? I voted remain and would vote remain again.

Remain & Remain

Remain then / remain now. That said, I don’t want another referendum - I believe in democracy and we had a vote. I’d like to see article 50 timeframe extended; the formation of a cross-party committee and renegotiation leaving the rest of parliament to do its day job. T-May was so bloody arrogant thinking she could unpick and renegotiate decades of trade agreements, laws and policies in just 2 years.

There should never have been a referendum in the first place, but remain then, remain now.

Someone asked what, as a leave voter I expected the EU to do? Well behave like they have really.

Not willing to talk about anything until we said how much we would pay them to leave. If you liken this to a divorce (as has been the analogy on both sides it’s like the husband saying right well tell me how much money you’re going to give me towards the extension I’m building on the back of the marital home, whicch, by the way,you know I’m keeping even though you’ve contributed to buying and running it for the past 50 years. You will not see any benefit from the extension but you agreed ages ago, before we considered getting divorced, that we could build it and therefore you’re duty bound to pay for it. Until you agree to handing over loads of cash for this building work we are not discussing custody of the kids or maintenance payments. You will not be receiving a share of any of the assets you have contributed to for many years. After all it’s your fault for daring to leave, even though we weren’t really compatible in the first place and we want different things for the future.

Actually it’s worse than that, I’m going push to you into a situation where you still hand over the cash for the extension, And keep contributing to the household bills (but obviously you can’t live in the house or have any say in its running but you’ll have to live according to my rules) We can separate and keep this situation going for as long as I want, you have no right to unilaterally get a divorce, at any point, I refuse to say how long I will let this go in, I’m not being tied to an end date, obviously I don’t want this to go on forever, but you’ll leave when I say you can leave.

it's been the expectations of the British government that have been ridiculous, not the EU.

^ this - but our press has been peddling the opposite for decades so it’s not surprising that people fall for the lies

The 17.4 million who is compromised of racists, old people who have enjoyed the benefits of the eu their while lives and a handful of naive left wing brexiteers?

How's that for generalisation! I'm neither old nor racist How can someone who voted to leave the EU be racist when the EU is about 90% white people? I've never understood this argument.

I hope we get to vote on whether we want to leave with the deal proposed / planned.

I'm sure we won't get to, but it would seem fair.

Remain/ Remain

I voted leave (and haven't admitted this to anyone in real life as I realised my mistake quickly) - I would vote remain now, I admit I probably didn't do enough research of my own before but I feel misled by the information that was out there prior to voting, particularly the local campaigning saying that voting leave was the right thing to do to support our rural community.

The EU have been very clear from the start that they wanted a solution to the NI border other than a backstop that the DUP won’t support. The British have failed to find a solution and we are where we are.

I don't think there will be another vote, But if there were all of the 16 and 17 year olds who did not get a say (despite being the ones who will feel the impact the most) will now be eligible. I think there would be strong remain vote for them.

Voted remain. Would still be remain. Have tried really hard to work out a single thing that will be better after we leave and I can’t find one. I am genuinely saddened and scared by this whole mess.

Leave then and leave in the future ...
RedWine.... I get the point you are making but I am left, always have been and always will be , but I am a leave voter .....

Yup: all The Yr 13s I know would now vote Remain.

Remain then and Remain again.

feel that we would be a total laughing stock, even more than we are right now, if we changed our minds
I'm not sure that would happen Nigella, Republic of Ireland have repeated referenda, I think people understand protest votes in referenda. Below is a quote from the Ladybird Book, The Story of Brexit that sums up some Leavers votes very well.
Like a lot of his friends, Iggy was not very interested in European federal politics. He did not know whether to vote Remain or Leave. He was hoping there would be a third option to kick the Prime Minister out of a window. He would have happily ticked that box.

Leave then, leave now

Remain/remain

Me-Remain then and now.
DS1 same as me.
DS2 was too young in 2016, would now vote Remain.
DH wobbly Remain 2016, now not sure.

Remain then and would vote same again.
The whole thing is a bloody mess and even though there has been a lot discussed and explained since there are still people I know who think we are 'ruled' by Europe and are being dictated to!
We are a member with representatives in the EU parliament the same as every other member...It's a Union!

Some decisions suit us, some don't.
The referendum was a bloody stupid decision.

Voted leave, but would remain now

Leave then, double/triple leave now.

I don't believe it will happen though.
People talk about wealthy backers of the Leave campaign, what about practically the whole establishment behind the Remain campaign?
Also look at some of the large financial backers of the PV campaign. Are they really doing it for altruistic reasons?

Follow the money...

Leave and Leave again. All the process has done is highlight the N/S divide in England, yet this time they've made it abundantly clear that the lives of those in North are expendable to appease our 'betters' in the South. I would have changed my vote, but for the vitirol and abuse aimed at Leavers, now I feel like it would validate their behaviour towards and dismissal of folk like me.

Yes.
I voted remain

Remain all the way.

Had Mrs May taken a consensual, cross-party, approach to Brexit that fairly reflected the marginal result - e.g. Norway-type options; then I might have been persuaded to back it for the sake of unity.

Instead she went with all that divisive "citizens of nowhere", "saboteurs" rubbish and has ended up with a deal that satisfies no-one. She can stick it where the sun don't shine :)

Deadbudgie
Not willing to talk about anything until we said how much we would pay them to leave.
The EU has been waiting for the UK to confirm whether it was staying in the Single Market or not since the vote.
The UK has still not done that.

The "divorce settlement" is simple contractual obligations. Pensions, wages, project completion.
If the UK refuses to pay, everybody will label it a bad debtor.

But mainly the EU still does not know if the UK wants to be in or out of the Single Market.
So its hard for them to move forwards.
