Has anybody changed their mind about how they voted?

[fakenamefornow]

It seems not many people have?

Yet the people of NI didn't exactly vote overwhelmingly to stay in the EU themselves, did they?

Wasn't it something like 56%? That surely must be an overwhelming mandate, because we are told that the UK as a whole gave Brexit an overwhelming mandate at not quite 52%. Apparently we also want to have May's vision of a hard Brexit.

52% vs 48% was a narrow margin imo. I don't know anyone in real life that pretends otherwise!

You're the second poster to use whataboutery regarding the NI vote. It was 56% to 44% so not what I'd call a massive endorsement of continued EU membership.

I agree, it's very narrow margin.

To me it's as mystifying as left-wingers voting brexit. youd think they'd know what a disastrous can of worms they are opening- but no apparently not.

I don't think I am using 'whataboutery' - I was being a bit tongue in cheek. One of May's band of merry men did say exactly that the vote was overwhelming. I can't remember which one, with them all being a pretty faceless bunch.

I voted Remain and did consider the NI situation. I did think of voting Leave to tell Cameron what I thought of him, so I am glad I didn't now.

Miaow! Saucer of milk for histiny

Sorry I just...can't help it.

May has said that she goes to Brussels knowing that she has 65 million British people behind her.

It's ok histiny I'm still rather fond of you. I must be a masochist

May talks shit.

Of course, only a masochist would vote for brexit.

Joke!

I think you're cool too.

Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming

You very rarely hear a brexiteer say that!

(Sorry!)

May has said that she goes to Brussels knowing that she has 65 million British people behind her.

Ah yes, she said the Opposition weren't behind her but the country was. She got that the wrong way round, didn't she? What with Corbyn doing better than expected and her mislaying her majority, (not that anyone would know, with the way she's carried on since). As for the Opposition - the clue's in the name.

histiny you're good, are you Ian Hislop?!

I've just popped over to the mail to see what you talking about earlier Peregrina with regards to Junker. Saw a headline about 20,000 raucous German football fans, a bike riding Romanian bottom-slapper and an article about Madonna's 'used panties' (hate that word 😂) Dodnt hang round long enough to read the Junker article!

And your "pun" on Auschwitz is really offensive. Reported.

Why write that Cardinal? The mind boggles.

You don't see any similarities between the Enabling Act and the EU Withdrawal Bill?

I suggest you look more closely.

Don't rush to answer Cardinal's question.......

I don't credit May or her crew with the intelligence to pull off a coup tbh.
There may be similarities in terms of a potential power grab but as much as I oppose the conservative party, I don't see them as being Nazis. Or potential Nazis. That's coming from someone who has bore the brunt of their appalling treatment towards the sick and disabled; I certainly don't compare mine and family's treatment to those poor souls in Auschwitz (presuming that's what the deleted post was referencing?).

May be the rock on which I perish though. Who knows. I never say never, I used to love Tony Blair!

I do think that some Tories are effectively Nazis, judging by the comments they make. I don't for one moment think that Theresa May is. I think she is just a hard-working plodder who has been out of her depth for a long time. I think she genuinely believes the guff she spouts about wanting to help people who are just managing, but her lack of vision stops her from doing something practical about it . Plus her desire to appease the extreme right wing of her party - who are racist xenophobic bigots.

That's an accurate description of May; I don't see her still being PM in a year's time. She's out of touch as well as floundering. I didn't think she'd be so flakey when she first took over.

I think the problem with May is, and always has been, that she only ever listens to a handful of people that she trusts. Now those people have been replaced by the likes of Legatum, they are now pulling all her strings as she is so far out of her depth. But those people are extremely right wing, if only in an economic sense (i.e. they think they can make lots of money out of the situation). This is not a healthy position.

The fact that the EU Withdrawal Bill actually gives May even more power than the Enabling Act did to Hitler should worry anyone who ever uttered the words "Taking Back Control".

Fuck off Theresa
I was pleased when she got the leadership because she seemed like an adult compared with the other trombones running. However that quite quickly turned to despair. Since before the GE, I've thought she is acting like a dictator, that quote is a prime example. Changing the law to suit her needs, pushing through a destructive agenda anyway she can, clinging to power, refusing to do the right thing (e.g discipline her MPs for lying or saying inflammatory things) because it might threaten her slim parliamentary majority.
If it walks like a duck.....

A family member voted Leave and regretted it the next day, when the result was announced. Apparently, she didn't think Leave would win (and actually wanted to Remain) but voted Leave to send some sort of message of discontent to Cameron!
