If you voted for brexit did you get what you wanted?

[Poutl]

I’m definitely not a sneery anti-brexiter. I get that 50% of the population had legitimate concerns and did what they thought was best for the country. But my question is: did the thing that was so intolerable as a result of being a part of the EU get resolved for you by way of brexit?

I just don’t see what the point of it all was.

Loving it so far. Reduced growth, political instability, riots, sense of decay and desolation - what's not to like?

I'm particularly enjoying the abandonment of any attempt to find EU rules we want to change as it turns out they were all quite sensible, really.

Just great. Worth breaking up families over.

I respect the fact you’ve come on this thread and said why you voted leave and have since changed your mind.

I don’t agree with your vote, but at least you’ve given an honest answer. People were fed a lot of lies and it’s tragic how much misinformation there was of such a serious situation.

Well said, friendlycat

Sorry, I wasn't having a go at you personally, just the chancers who buggered it all up, then blamed everyone else and got the Mail & Express to repeat it endlessly.

I voted brexit and id do so again tomorrow. Im happy with the outcome to an extent but im not happy that it didnt go far enough. In my opinion, voting for brexit was voting for a clean break so i dont believe we have gone far enough.

Immigration has gone up.

I’m still wondering where the £100M a week went! NHS definitely is not getting that!

I know. Feminine hygiene products have move to 0% VAT as a direct result of Brexit though, ergo it’s working well.

It was my only reason for voting Brexit though and I think it’ll be a generation before any real benefits arise - so it all remains to be seen.

Your opinion and I respect that. I don't agree and I don't know anyone who does . As I said I don't think insult's and name calling are productive. We have a very divided society already at the moment and that just makes it worse!

I agree with you in that I think insults and name calling are completely uncalled for. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Blaming the negotiators is showing a very 'British superiority' attitude. People who feel the UK should be able to get whatever they want (a great deal) out of negotiations without care and consideration to other nations. But this attitude of British superiority is what caused a lot of people to vote for Brexit in the first place so that's no__ surprise. We need to realise that we are no superior to anybody else and have to allow for give and take in negotiations.

I think it has gone up over the amount talked about

It's that the NHS needs a lot and rising

Over the last few years we’ve had loads of shortages of basic meds at work. No idea why. First it was IV paracetamol, then remifentanyl. The pharmaceutical industry warned us about this pre Brexit.

Yes, though perhaps it could have been handled a little better. We got self rule back (Ireland may have to go the same way) and our economy is doing as well as many of those in the EU despite dire warnings that the UK could not survive without them.

I was born before the EU existed so I knew that last part was nonsense.

We should also remove ourselves from the ECHR (Duplicating every part of it into our own court system) since it was obvious that many of the other members would hold a deep and lasting resentment towards us.

Whether or not you believe this affects judgements there is always going to be a perception that it does so a clean break is better in the long run.

Always best to cut your ears off when you cut your nose off. Make it a proper job.

"Vladimir Putin got want he wanted" yes but only because he was able to use 5G mind control via the chips inserted in the vaccines to make everyone vote his way.

😀

"ItTook9Years" I can see that you've given this a lot of thought.

I spent years in European and Economic policy, then the NHS. I probably understood more than most about the impact and yes, not found anything yet that has made it anything but an utter disaster.

Why are you against it?

@LastTrainEast

We got self rule back (Ireland may have to go the same way)
What do you mean by this? Are you referring to the fact that complications in NI re Brexit have made a United Ireland more likely?

So it's OK to have a generation that suffers because there might be a benefit?
Thanks for that

@Perplexed20 but nothing long term turns out to be the wrong decision.
Countries rise and fall. The ones who do worse are the ones that think everything stays the same.

Please do. Because they've been in power 2 months, and I'm pleased with what I'm seeing so far. Brexit happened 8 years ago.... tell us the benefits you're reaping?

Can you give us some examples of these irrational and ridiculous rules that were forced on us?

FFS. It was a complete racist exercise - covered up in a blanket of retrieving our sovereignty (whatever that really means).

Eventually, Brexit gave us Boris Johnson in his true colours (all ten million of them!).
