It's their fault we're in this mess and I can only see it getting worse.

I voted remain simply because the leave campaign didn't persuade me it was a good idea to change the status quo at this time.

Burlea · 04/09/2019 16:57

If the remainers had won, do you think the leavers would of acted like the remainers have done complaining that the vote didn't go there way. If we have another vote and the leavers win again would we then keep having votes until the remainers win.

MellowBird85 · 04/09/2019 16:57

The campaigns had no effect on my vote (leave). The EU got too big for its boots, end of. Perhaps they should’ve thought twice about telling David Cameron to sling his hook after he made a few small, reasonable requests.

It's just high lighted how argorant and disgraceful our politicians are.

I can't understand why bercow hasn't been slung out. The way he has abused his supposedly neutral position is an abomination. And yet people more obsessed with how jrm sits Confused

It doesn't seem to worry many posters on here that parliament has gone against a vote.
It would worry me tremendously.

If the vote had been to remains but parliament went rouge and decided it was better to be out I'd be deeply concerned even if its what I wanted.

Because I have an ability to see a bigger picture. I know many Remainers have fingers in eu pie but something more than brexit is at risk here.

Yes

Before the result was known NF (oo just realised his initials are the same as National Front) was calling for a rerun after assuming remain would win!

Scottish independence campaigners have been arguing for a second referendum since the last vote

If you think leavers would just have quietly gone away you’re deluded.

@Rowgtfc72

I voted leave and am sick of hearing that its our fault.

Well if you and other like you hadn't voted for it it wouldn't be happening would it?

Im sick to death of bloody brexit just leave so we can deal with other issues in this country

REVOKE would do that.
No Deal will be the start of a long and horrible journey. You will eat and breathe brexit if we crash out...

TheWernethWife · 04/09/2019 17:02

My mother voted to leave but she says this is not what she thought she was voting for.

I can well relate to this, my tory voting 80 old neighbour believed the lie about money going back into the NHS even though I told her it was bullshit and she really thought that "immigrants" would be rounded up on the 24th and sent back home. Amazing.

LatteLove · 04/09/2019 17:02

Lattelove why are you blaming your darling children?

Haha they are pains in the arse but even they aren’t responsible for this Grin

Autumnintheair · 04/09/2019 17:02

I voted to leave and my mind was pretty much made up before the campaign.
Same as other leaver friends.
I certainly read as much as I could for both sides however and forced myself to keep an open mind.

In the end nothing convinced me to remain.

Don't understand why they don't want election.

LatteLove · 04/09/2019 17:04

It's just high lighted how argorant and disgraceful our politicians are

Especially the PM.

WeshMaGueule · 04/09/2019 17:05

Given that they moaned incessantly for forty years after the first referendum until they got their way, then yes.

Autumnintheair · 04/09/2019 17:05

BTW all these Remainers telling their elderly parents and neighbours what's what...

Do you think when they agree with you, they might actually be sat there thinking

How much longer do I have to sit through this absurd patronising tyrannical speech 😂😂😂😂😂. Stfu.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 04/09/2019 17:06

The only people I have met/known personally who voted leave were immigrants and the types who froth about ‘foreigners coming over here’.

One even whinged about how it would stop foreigners coming over (I did point out that she was one - but that she’d never worked a day) - but not her home help (who I pointed out was an EU national - and paid for by the state). Thick as mince.

And as for the mess that the nhs will be in... what happened to the millions every week that we would be saving eh?

LatteLove · 04/09/2019 17:07

It would worry me tremendously.

I don’t want another referendum I voted remain but think we should leave.

In an orderly fashion, but not crashing out via no deal.

MPs are voting to stop the country being severely damaged. We have a Parliamentary democracy. The sovereignty of Parliament is what most leavers claimed to want by leaving.

The referendum on the other hand was advisory

postmanwatcher · 04/09/2019 17:07

I did but now today all the chat shows here in NI are talking about how a united Ireland is closer than ever. I'm starting to think but those Brexiteers a drink!

Autumnintheair · 04/09/2019 17:07

Wesh..

It was given a damn good chance though.
40 years... And nothing positive inspired people after 4o years to say.. Yes let's stick with.

40 years of ever closer, ever changing membership and people say... Leave thanks.

BeanBag7 · 04/09/2019 17:07

I dont blame all leave voters but I do blame the ones who post things like "we won get over it" or "I thought this was a democracy, why havent we left yet" etc. Because they clearly dont understand the complex issues at hand.
I'm happy to have a reasoned discussion about pros and cons etc. but it always just devolves into "we won, so I must be right" once they run out of arguments (quite swiftly)

LatteLove · 04/09/2019 17:08

I didn’t need to tell my parents anything, because they voted remain. As did my now deceased but then 92 year old grandfather.

user0001 · 04/09/2019 17:09

The country voted to leave. MPs have been doing their best to undermine this decision - they are the ones to blame, especially May and Hammond.

Justanotherlurker · 04/09/2019 17:09

Yeah, nothing to do with decades of neoliberalism

Inb4 but austeritity !! People pretending it's a simple binary situation shows the lack of critical thinking that has been touted for the past 3 years.

Also anyone pretending a revoke would solve all the issues is on par of being politically astute as your averedge Daily Mail reader

MrsDimmond · 04/09/2019 17:09

I blame that fuckwit Cameron first and foremost.

A simplistic binary referendum was guaranteed to cause problems. It isn't a yes/ no situation.

The pro brexit spokespeople like Boris and Farage could promise the earth with no accountability.

No one had an inkling of the the massive and far reaching impact e.g on NI

Cameron set this shit storm in motion and the MPs have ensured that it has got shittier and shittier
