AIBU to ask if you changed your opinion about Brexit

We had a lot of Brexit threads but I think not about this topic. As somebody who does not live in Britain I wonder if you changed your opinion about Brexit now that you heard that a hard Brexit is most likely. Would you vote different if there was a second vote?

Voted to leave and I’d do it again.

Whatsername7 · 07/03/2019 21:58

I voted remain, id vote remain again.

khaleesi71 · 07/03/2019 22:01

Remain then and even more strongly remain.

Project fear? Project fantasy more like - brexiteers can't seem to fathom the damage they do - words fail me for more than once on this subject.
Still - if they keep shouting louder (and maybe more slowly) at the the EU then maybe they'll get what they want!!

tomhazard · 07/03/2019 22:03

I voted remain and would again without a shadow of a doubt.

My 90 year old grandma voted leave. She said she didn't realise what a mess it would
Be and would vote remain in another referendum.

"They are utterly vile - for too many reasons to list."

Just one which isn't utter bullshit would do.

Am a staunch remainer, and would vote remain again.

Am marching for a people’s vote on the 23rd - who else is marching?

Voted remain. Even more convinced I was right now. Know quite a few acquaintances who believed they were protecting the NHS by voting leave and who are very, very quiet now. At least three of my close family & friends will change from leave to remain if there is a second vote. Most of the rest voted remain anyway. My extremely racist neighbour will no doubt vote leave again. My lexiter friend is wavering.

It is hilarious to see leavers who have constantly accused remainers of ‘remoaning’ now whinging interminably about the EU ‘bullying’ us. Well, it would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic.

TalkinPaece · 08/03/2019 07:11

Even if the EU is vile,
how will Brexit change that ?
and will your life be tangibly better after Brexit?
I know that mine will be tangibly worse

surferjet · 08/03/2019 07:20

What’s the point in marching on the 23rd, one week before we leave?
I fully support your right to protest but what a complete waste of your time & money.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 08/03/2019 07:24

I don’t think anyone is trying to suggest Brexit has any benefits now. It’s a face saving exercise. We won we must pretend to look happy about it. And do a better a job than Gove and Johnson during their hastily convened press conference the day after the referendum.

You do not have to come on 23rd March if you don't want to.

I'm meeting up with friends from up and down the country and having a nice day out - not a waste of money in my book.

Pissing off those who cannot think what the positives of Brexit now are is just a bonus Grin

ooooohbetty · 08/03/2019 07:31

Voted remain would now vote leave.

Frankiestein402 · 08/03/2019 07:34

23rd is high risk - if less than 700k march - the leave camp will claim support for remain is falling - which is why I'll be there.

LAlady · 08/03/2019 07:36

Remain then, more than ever remain now.

I have family who voted leave who'd vote remain now.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/03/2019 07:40

For anyone who is coming on the 23rd :)

Oh leavers are well aware that remainers stroopy behaviour is all for our benefit and not really about the EU anymore, I’m certain half of you couldn’t even name all the EU countries.
Why you’re putting so much effort into ‘pissing us off’ speaks volumes - but enjoy your tiring, expensive, complete waste of time, day out - I’ll be at home with my feet up watching the telly. Grin

Nat6999 · 08/03/2019 07:43

Voted Leave & would vote Leave again, just disappointed that we have a government that isn't capable of doing what was voted for, I can honestly see us not leaving due to Theresa May refusal to listen to anyone else's opinions & views on how she should have negotiated the WA & her insistence on sticking to her awful deal & taking it to the dying days of the Article 50 period.

Disfordarkchocolate · 08/03/2019 07:43

I haven't changed my mind. I'm confused that I'm so surprised by the Conservative parties inability to negotiate with the EU when they are so supportive of capitalism and the free market. But then I look at their inability to realise what the economic and social consequences of a deliberate shift away from a manufacturing and trade based economy to a service based economy would have on society (or just not care) and think they have always been pretty shit anyway.

The names of the countries are irrelevant to Brexit.
They will be a stable trading bloc of 27 (rising to 30 in a year or two now that Macedonia is sorting itself out)
The UK will be sitting outside the fence watching for rainbow unicorns

Poloshot · 08/03/2019 07:50

Voted leave and want to leave even more so now

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/03/2019 07:51

hilarious that sitting in front of the telly for the day is not considered a waste of time but standing up for what you believe in and taking positive action is.

surferjet · 08/03/2019 07:52

So another 3 countries set to join in a year or two?
Another 3 countries we’d have to pay for & allow in under Freedom of Movement rules.

Thank FUCK we’re leaving.

HisBetterHalf · 08/03/2019 07:54

Would vote the same again. Incompetent government is responsible for negotiating a shit deal thus far

ChocChocButtons · 08/03/2019 08:03

We already have a people’s vote..sorry you didn’t like the result.

potatochips84 · 08/03/2019 08:18

Voted remain, would vote remain again

Yes we had a "people's vote" but that was not for the terms of the deal that's currently being proposed and also was not for no deal

I have family who have lived here and worked here (and provided employment for others) for decades and who may have to leave now because of this fiasco

I've lost my right to move and work in between (UK) and my country of birth.

These are my reasons. I am not here to insult
Leavers but do have to say that insults are fired both ways. I've been called all sorts on other forums and also seem remain voters being goady at times

I genuinely would like to hear why people voted leave. I am interested genuinely but no one ever answers me when I ask! The EU has not bullied-they have done exactly what they said they would do so this is not a reason

MyOtherProfile · 08/03/2019 08:20

Was a slight remainer. Now I'm a staunch remainer having seen what Brexit really seems to mean.
