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

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 then, remain now. My dsis would still vote leave i think but my bil who would have voted leave but couldn't as was in hospital would now vote remain. Although we don't talk.about it much as I love my sis and bil and don't want us to fall out. But that's my impression.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 15/01/2019 00:20

No. I voted remain and I sorely regret it. If democracy failed and we had another vote I would vote leave without hesitation.

Want2bSupermum · 15/01/2019 00:20

Leave and leave.

I'd also kick TM to the curb if there was anyone else available to lead the UK. We have an absolute dearth of leadership available. I'm at the point where the thought of hereditary peers isn't so wretched. It shouldn't be so bad but it is and I blame the media and this obsession of knowing everyone's private life.

I'm conservative and a swing voter. We as a nation missed out on Frank Field as PM and the labour leadership contest should have been won by him. He would have been fantastic and if he ran now I'd vote for him even though he is 76 and not 100% certain to make it through a 4 year term.

The EU have done us a massive favour of highlighting just how awful both our own and their politicians are. At this point I am willing to accept a no deal Brexit and just let the EU come after us for unpaid bills. We can pay them in the year 3000.

Talkin The biggest labour supporters I've known are the dearest champagne socialists who send or went to boarding school and yes they all earn well north of £100k a year offshore. They don't give a damn about taxes because in their mind taxes don't apply to them. Labour keeps people down so they don't have to work so hard to stay ahead. Evil people and Labour right now is unelectable as are the Lib Dems.

I voted remain but if there was another vote I wouldn't bother turning out to vote at all.
It'd seem like "you all voted the wrong way, let's try again until we get the right outcome."
No point if they're not going to listen if they don't like the answer they get.

If you have no deal you have no trade deal with any of your remotely nearby neighbours. You will need trade deals with them, very desperately, and EU and UK trade deals will be worked out as soon as they can be in the event of no deal. However your position would be one of even less power and repayment of owed monies would be first item on the agenda. You don't just get to decide to not pay them unless you want a future of isolationism of the kind that really only North Korea endures. Whether you pay monies you've committed to paying is not in question, only the 'how' that happens and what you 'buy' with it is.

Leave and most definately leave now .None of my family have changed their minds .The whole process is being so badly managed though.

ginghambox · 15/01/2019 00:42

LEAVE leave AND LEAVE AGAIN.

Silkyanduna · 15/01/2019 00:48

Didn’t vote and wouldn’t vot again

SusanneLinder · 15/01/2019 00:53

Remain then and would 100% vote remain again.

BeachtheButler · 15/01/2019 01:49

Yep. It'd be "remain" again.

DarkArts · 15/01/2019 02:22

Remain first time. Insulin type 1 dependent. Remain, because I want to stay alive!

Reallyevilmuffin · 15/01/2019 02:24

Leave then, more leave now than ever.

thisismeusernameything · 15/01/2019 02:29

Leave them and leave again.

Edgeworth · 15/01/2019 02:47

Remain, remain.

Effendi · 15/01/2019 02:57

Remain then, remain now.

My Mum voted leave based on immigration and not liking the EU telling UK what to do. Then she moved to another EU country and became an immigrant.
She would vote remain now. Funny old thing that.....

Utterly selfish viewpoint. I have a British relative who worked for the EU from 1972 onwards, is now 80, and who is worrying about his pension and whether it will still be in existence. You know, the money that he uses to live.

It is actually more democratic to ask the same question again, not less. Democracy does not remain fixed at one point in time.

why100000 · 15/01/2019 07:02

(Or a variation of the same question.)

nottakingthisanymore · 15/01/2019 07:04

Firstly I would like to say that if remain had won there is no way UKIP, Farage etc would have left it at that. The campaign to leave would have continued so complaining about remainders wanted a second vote is pointless.
Secondly, a big reason I voted remain was because no firm plans were on the table. It was all “we will try and do this” or “we will hopefully do this”. Too much of a gamble imo. If remain had won and a couple of years down the line a proper deal was put in the table I may have voted leave. I’m really not sure what the ast majority of leave voters actually thought they were voting for.

linkinperk · 15/01/2019 07:09

Ashamed to say I voted leave. I've regretted more and more as time goes on.

I'd now vote remain 100%.

namechanger2019 · 15/01/2019 07:13

I voted leave and would change to remain. I didn't really think about what I was doing and if I am honest was just a rebellious vote really. Now seeing what it really means I would change my mind.

Dotty1970 · 15/01/2019 07:16

Remain voted and absolutely remain now

WildCherryBlossom · 15/01/2019 07:25

Remain. Remain.

Roystonv · 15/01/2019 07:29

As a remainer I would vote the same again; I did not vote for either side as such but for the fact that I did not think anyone knew how to leave, that we had been lied to, that the devil you know is better than the devil you don't, that we would hemorage (? sp) money. Remainders want a second vote because all these things have turned out to be true and we deserve a chance to vote again now we understand more. If that vote was still leave then that would be that. The eu have no obligation to play nicely why should we just waltz up to them and expect to leave with no consequences when we are the ones wanting the change.

Bin85 · 15/01/2019 07:30

Remain and remain
