Just a straw poll, I'm really not after a bunfight (although I appreciate I may get one anyway).

How did you vote in the 2016 Referendum, and what is currently your favoured option of the ones available?

OP posts:

Remain/Revoke. Norway if push comes to shove.

If there are going to be riots and civil unrest whatever the outcome, we might as well ditch Brexit and live with the far-right surge as a consequence.

MrsTerryPratcett · 25/01/2019 03:04

Remain

In order...

Revoke
People's vote
Norway
No deal (because I think we'd have to beg to come back in about two minutes)
Withdrawal Agreement (because a bit like the withdrawal method, it seems like a good idea but is likely to fail spectacularly)

bellinisurge · 25/01/2019 06:19

In order WA
Revoke
That's it.

Random18 · 25/01/2019 06:22

Remain
Revoke

I used to support a PV but now I think it is really the politicians that need to sort out this mess.

The WA is not good enough (an impossible task)

SalrycLuxx · 25/01/2019 06:24

Want: revoke than have a People’s vote.

Would be ok with: extend and get some actual grown ups, instructed on a cross party basis, to work out a real deal, preferably including at least part of the future trade deal.

SalrycLuxx · 25/01/2019 06:24

Devil on my shoulder would like: crash out.

Whatsnewwithyou · 25/01/2019 06:33

Remain
Revoke
or People's vote if we must
Otherwise if there's no other option Norway+

PatPhoenix · 25/01/2019 06:33

Remain.

Us all to wake up and find it was a dream
Someone to leak the prereferendum cabinet papers so we can find out who actually voted to have the bloody thing

Norway - but it's too late for March surely

Wa - at least it's a plan though leavers will blame the shit on the wa not on leaving

Revoke though I'm scared of ignoring the vote after it has become a totem

No deal

Pv- NO more referendums for this country, they are a dictator's tool and will only cause yet more division

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2019 06:35

Revoke

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2019 06:37

Hang on what's the difference between revoke and remain? People are listing them as separate options.
Surely if we revoke a50, we remain

bellinisurge · 25/01/2019 06:44

@StealthPolarBear , some people have this mad fantasy that we can Revoke and start again with Leave. Some people have this mad fantasy that we can wave a magic wand and Be Remain.
Revoke comes first.

Whatsnewwithyou · 25/01/2019 06:44

I think people are listing Remain as in that's what they voted for originally, @StealthPolarBear

Whatsnewwithyou · 25/01/2019 06:45

The OP's question was "How did you vote in the 2016 Referendum, and what is currently your favoured option of the ones available?"

Danglingmod · 25/01/2019 06:49

Voted remain

Would prefer:
WA
Norway +
Extension to plan combo of above

Don't want
Revoke
PV (hate referenda and actually think we'd get more or less the same result.)

Danglingmod · 25/01/2019 06:51

And def not ND.

All the leavers I know want ND.

All the remainers I know are split between PV and WA.

Bluntness100 · 25/01/2019 06:54

I find this difficult.

Short term I think it's best for us to agree the deal and leave, because the country will be up in arms if we don't. I am also embarrassed by what's occurred in the U.K. and what a mess we have got ourselves into.

Long term though, there is no doubt we shoild revoke now and stay in as it's the better option for the country. Any deal we get is is never going to be as good as we have it now.

I was a remain, and I don't believe people knew what they were voting for when they voted for this. Comments from people who still wish to leave show a strong lack of understanding still of what they are asking for, and if they got it would be unwilling to live with the consequences.

frumpety · 25/01/2019 06:59

Remain

Revoke - nobody trusts anybody anymore anyway

LurkyMcLurky · 25/01/2019 07:05

Remain
Revoke

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2019 07:06

Oh I see sorry. I just answered the title itself

Random18 · 25/01/2019 07:21

My thoughts now are that the Leave camp in the majority don’t want the WA.
The vocal ones want No Deal.
But the everyday man on the street just wants to support their families and that is far less likely with No Deal.

So that means there is no longer a consensus for Brexit at all.

All we need is a bloody politician (either PM or a Brexiteer) to stand up in Parliament and confirm that this is a mistake

Thatwasfast · 25/01/2019 07:25

Remain - revoke

I can’t believe we haven’t all ready to be honest. Leave won because of significant election fraud from the Leave campaign and foreign interference from the Russian Governement. It’s hard leave the ‘people’s say’

Like bluntness, most people I know who voted leave want no deal, and don’t seem to have even a basic grasp of the underlying concepts.

BackInTime · 25/01/2019 07:26

Remain
Revoke

Thatwasfast · 25/01/2019 07:27

Also agree we are fucked anyway, there will be civil unrest regardles. Might as well choose the least damage to the economy, and ride it out. Army on the streets for a while to contain the cretinous Tommy Robinson types etc

TheNumberfaker · 25/01/2019 07:29

Voted Remain

  1. Revoke
  2. Extend A50 and PV
  3. WA

No-deal doesn’t make it onto the list. I think that the long term needs of the country should take precedence over short term catastrophe-avoiding-measures.
I also think that referendums should only be allowed where all options are clearly defined - or banned altogether!

Namedrama · 25/01/2019 07:31

Not one person so far on this thread has voted anything but remain so I doubt it’s very instructive of what the majority of people want.

I didn’t vote as I objected to the idea that I should male a decision I plainly wasn’t qualified to take. I am not a supporter of referendums.

Now I want revoke.
