Remain voters who have changed their minds

[Thefuturecouldbebright]

Ok, I expect to get pulled apart like brisket here, but... I havent seen anyone raise this question yet.

Is there anyone here, who voted remain, who has now changed their stance in the other direction? Especially now given the petulant tit for tat behaviour of the EU dictator otherwise known as Juncker? (Among others)

I am not asking to go round in circles talking about the falling pound/markets etc, as that has been done to death, I am just generally interested to see if anyone has swung the other way.

Have you read the stats on our vetoes?

I agree with eatsleep about us being out of step with the EU ideal.

Although we contributed a great deal, we never fully embraced it all as a country.
Mutually beneficial outcome with us leaving, I think.

(I was a leaver)

No one needs us? africa, china, india, germany (car industry), australia, US, russia, Japan, etc... All huge established economies/or strong emerging markets.

There are too many to list.

Nope. What events have I missed that would prompt anyone to have changed their mind?

No. One of my main concerns is the environment and the major legislation that protects our wildlife has all come from the EU who tend to put in measures based on a long term picture rather than a short government term of four years. On the whole, our government show no regard for the environment. I worry now that they have cart Blanche to appease building lobbies, pesticide manufacturers etc, with no reining in, and that our wildlife will suffer as a result.
The only glimmer of hope is that it has already been reported that fishing quotas are unlikely to change, w relief as the quotas are already too high and the fish stocks are still dropping, or at best, remaining stable but low. This will not please the local fishermen though who voted leave on the understanding that they would be able to pull all the fish they wanted out of the sea, now that they were free of Brussels red tape.
I don't regret any decision that is done in the best interests of keeping our countryside a fit place to live in, thus ensuring it continues to provide flood defences, pollinators etc etc for us all.

Darling, two of my family work in Brussels. I have stats like you wouldn't believe.

In the interests of unity I'm prepared to see this as a mutually beneficial outcome, although I think the benefit to us will be more about satisfaction of the populous and accountability rather than economic benefit. I would have preferred economic benefit myself but then again I don't care much for "sovereignty" in this context.

Trust me, Germany, amongst others, will not sacrifice the huge financial benefit of their imports to the UK to massage Junckers ego!

Anyway I thought this thread was "have you changed your minds?", not YOU WILL CHANGE YOU MINDS.

I have not changed my mind.

"Darling, two of my family work in Brussels"
Condescend much there? If you had read the stats, you would see what little impact these Vetoes actually had/have.

Condescend much there?

It was deliberate.

I have no intention of changing anyones minds! Just responding to points made...
Do calm down 'Darling'. 😂

Nope wouldnt change my mind, voted remain and would again

My friends husband regrets voting remain....no idea why and i really dont get why you would regret voting for the side that lost

"the Remainers currently campaigning to disenfranchise older people will certainly be regarded with disgust once the hysteria is over"

Eh? I'm 56. I don't know whether that means I'm 'an older person'. I feel disenfranchised by twats like Farage speaking for Britain because only 35% population bother to vote in European Elections. The incompetence of the Tory party is beyond tragedy, but no, it is the fault of 'the EU'. Not very impressed by your 'research'.

How? We were one of the biggest contributors?

It seems to me that our contributions are going to go up, not down.

Nope.

Horrified at the events in the last week.

Voted Remain and would do again in a heartbeat.

citroen I was referring to the man I heard on R4 last night, seriously suggesting that younger people's votes should be weighted so that they were worth more than an older person's, and I have read similar ageist shit on social media. If that's not intolerance, never mind the fact that only about 36% of 18-24 year olds could be arsed to vote, I don't know what is.

No one is taking that crap seriously though caitlin. While it was a disappointing demographic split there's bigger stuff to worry about.

Caitlin along with
"hurry up and die"
"Old bastards have ruined our future"
The graph showing their life expectancy etc.... It has been utterly shocking to me to find such disdain for our older population.

Darling, two of my family work in Brussels. I have stats like you wouldn't believe.

Er, no. I don't think anyone's going to have a look around now and think 'I like this: I wish I'd voted for it'!

kylo I find intolerance of that kind pretty chilling actually. I just though it was worth mentioning, in light of the thread title, that these people may well look back in years to come and bitterly regret their conduct, even if they stand by their decision.

Nope. Not sure why anyone would regret voting remain because why would you regret voting for the side that didn't win? However, if someone did it would be interesting to hear their reasons.

75% of voters aged 24 and under voted Remain, but yes, disappointing turnout for younger voters (if actually slightly better than the WHOLE of the country for the European elections).
