Any Brexiters who have changed your minds....?

[onlyconnect]

If you voted Brexit but would now like to remain, could you call loudly for a second referendum please?
I'm a remainer and see the obvious problems with remainers asking for a second referendum but if former Brexiters were to ask, it would have legitimacy surely.

I voted leave and my decision has not changed. I can’t wait to leave

Leaver here.

I don’t think I was lied to. I don’t regret my decision. I think that certain factions are whipping up panic.

TheElementsSong were we asked about other countries joining and adding to FOM, ( Poland,Romania) as an example, no, the common market which we voted to stay in, didn’t vote to join, is vastly different now to what it was back in the seventies

No one is going to need to “hunker down for days in your house,” - don’t you have jobs to go to for a start? There won’t be anarchy in the streets 😂

The sun will rise, we will all wake up have breakfast and go to work as usual. To suggest otherwise is irresponsible frothing.

I voted leave, haven't changed my mind one bit. Hoping for No Deal.

You do you @Tippexy .

Oh I do, darling! 💁🏻‍♀️

For those hoping for no deal...what are the top five things in order that you are most looking forward to?

My partner's grandmother voted leave. She thought it would get all the foreigners out, not sure if she thought they'd all be put on planes "home" or not. But she says she'd now vote remain, due to me working in pharmacy and struggling with lack of medication from suppliers etc.

lonelyplanetmum I am trying to see a positive in this somewhere... I too would absolutely love to hear 5 great things, that someone voting leave, hopes a no deal Brexit will bring.

{ I think that certain factions are whipping up panic.}
That will be the government then.
It is the government saying they will be involving the army to take up various roles, probably guarding warehouses and the likes.
Some of the 'new voices' that have just popped up may be in for a bit of a shock when they discover what the Tories (and Corbyn, since he is not opposing) have in mind.

Takes bots a while to reprogram while we are on our lunch break.
I'm sure 5 positive things about no deal will be here soon.

UK has an empire which was largely gained by brutal means, at a time when slaughtering whole villages of people was 'permissible'

LeClerc So just like the French and German and Portuguese and Spanish and Belgian and Dutch empires then?

The British empire being that some empire I which the Irish and Scottish were disproportionately represented in terms of soldiering it and taking colonial posts?

I’m a remainse but posts like yours make no sense to me.

Me!

Was torn in the ballot box and after standing there for over a minute, I voted leave.

I wrote to my MP but he is massively pro brexit so couldn't care less

My mum voted leave. She now says that she didn’t really understand the issues at all. She was looking back through rose tinted glasses at the past, which she now accepts was not all good. She is deeply sorry of how she voted and campaigns for a second vote.

“No deal” is not an option - the idea is totally irresponsible and was never really on the cards as an option - it was purely a (failed and naive) negotiating tactic. Even the likes of JRM are backing away from it now.

Anyone who says they want it is either ill informed (deliberately it would seem, as the information is out there) or wishes to see the UK experience a catastrophic collapse.

No deal leavers - which describes you?

Talkstotrees Unfortunately a lot of leavers are going to have to see and experience any long term decline as nobody now knows who to believe, How can there be two totally different outcomes on the same subject ?

Hesta, what is the other possible outcome?

[Tumbleweed] even that's a foreign import!!!

I wonder which country openly, and for several successive governments, pushed hugely for enlargement of the EU to include accession of the Eastern European countries 🤔... I think it started with a "U" and a "K"? And I wonder which country, when they had the option of applying a temporary brake on FOM for accession countries, didn't do so 🤔... I think it started with a "U" and a "K"?

There is one subtle but rather important difference however.
Although colonialism and specifically the way it was implemented has and does cause severe problems, the others have since realised the mistakes and attempted to make amends. OK not all successfully.
Probably more relevant is that they do not base their current economy on what they had over 100 years ago.
Horrendous stuff went on in past centuries but most others are attempting to move forward unlike the UK which seems to be trying to go back.

over the possibility of being dragged into wars with Russia, thanks.

Not sure about the reasoning there. If Russia is aggressive towards a NATO member then the UK will have to be involved. Unless of course you want to leave NATO?

It was made clear in the government leaflets during the 1975 referendum that the EEC (as it was then) was always more than just a trading bloc.

So that would be why former French colonies asked to join the British Commonwealth, LeClerc?

And that would not be why British aid Into its former colonies outnumbers that of other former colonial powers, according to The Guardian.

But this is beside the point as very many of those who voted leave have no living memory of the British Empire at all. Most people in Sunderland and Cardiff, for example.

I voted leave.
I regretted it the moment I posted my vote.
I'd love a second referendum.

{So that would be why former French colonies asked to join the British Commonwealth, LeClerc?}
No idea, you ask them and report back.
The world 'stage' is very big and murky as the UK is about to find out as it tries to 'go it alone', especially as it successfully 'pissed off' many of its former colonies.
