Brexit- if we had a referendum now do you think people would vote to stay/ go back in

[Flyhigher]

Curious - do people think as a nation we'd vote to go back in?

Yes

Yes

I think people would vote for a stronger commercial relationship with the EU. I also think there would be a much warmer approach to freedom of movement as it makes lives easier for UK citizens and of course considering the collapse of the NHS and inability to recruit in many sectors (which was entirely predictable and self-inflicted, it was clear these jobs won't be filled by British workers anytime soon or at all - zero surprise here).

It would strengthen our economy longer term.

I'd like to think so but there is a lot of stupid out there.

I think polls show the vote would be to rejoin but there's no appetite for another referendum

Probably yes to rejoin but I don’t think enough people care anymore tbh.

Polls say yes, but most people can't face the divisiveness of another vote, I think. We'll just gradually edge back towards the EU without actually rejoining, and end up somewhere similar to Norway & Switzerland, just on much less favourable terms because David Cameron is a fucking idiot.

I would vote the same way.

After last time I couldn't trust the polls. Completely disenfranchised with the whole political spectrum tbh.

I'm not sure about the 'We'. I know people who spend time on FB arguing back and forth about Brexit and politics, saying we should rejoin the EU - and they didn't even bother to vote. A few said they didn't because they never in a million years thought Brexit would go through. They underestimated the Tories, schadenfreude, working class snobbery/one-upmanship, xenophobia, and those who feel a strong 'pull' towards horrible, divisive people (ie Tories) with more money than them who dont like them anyway. & Im not convinced that won't happen again. There wont be another Brexit vote. Labour are the Tory-Lites anyway, so they wont be pushing for a Referendum if they do get in.

You're not "disenfranchised". You have a vote.
The problem is people not bothering to go out and vote.

Oo thank you, genuinely, I've been using that word incorrectly for years! Have just educated myself.

I've never once missed the opportunity to vote, I just don't think my vote actually makes a blind bit of difference to the outcome. I've been using disenfranchised to mean this, however I can now see I mean extraneous? Cynical? Superfluous? Will need to do some research..

Disenchanted.

Given the utter mess we are in I would hope yes. But then I remember that lots of people are guillible enough to keep voting Tory so who knows.

Still waiting for all those millions of £s we 'saved' to be spent on the NHS.

I live, and have a business, in the Republic of Ireland.

Your Brexit vote cost us a fortune. Still does. We have had such headaches as a result.

It also seems most of the UK (still) does not understand how Northern Ireland came to be nor why you can't just cut it loose now it doesn't suit you anymore. Nor why your vote has caused problems with a very hard won peace process.

As a nation your arrogance has been stunning when viewed from our perspective.

I would like to see you vote to rejoin and all those neighbours of yours who have been so badly stung with no empathy whatsoever would get to say: no thanks UK. We don't want you and your poor attitude back.

No. Probably not. I’ve generally come to terms with the fact the majority in this country feel very differently to me. 😢

well of course, its a fucking disaster. But going back in is not up to us. It would be up to the EU. And there is no reason for them to want us back.

This is what I thought too. Never thought brexit would win or Trump or that Boris would be PM. This is why I don’t gamble

One of the biggest reasons I was disgusted by the Brexit result was because of NI. It was an absolute disgrace that senior politicians played with NI’s peace process and the voters who just didn’t care because out of sight out of mind were awful too. Really feel for you. I’m ashamed of us English.

No. I voted remain and I don’t think we would vote to go back in. I don’t think we should. We should never have left if I’m honest but it is done.

we would never get back in on the same terms anyway so it would be even more detrimental for us to try.

many of the issues were facing every other country is facing too and we need to stop blaming brexit for everything

many of our issues can be dealt with by getting a proper government.
no, not Labour - don’t know what a woman is, many completely dismissive of the cass report, have completely abandoned class and focused on identity totally disenfranchising the working class.

Certainly not tories- austerity anyone? We’re still reeling from that shit show and many families have been set back a generation or more just from that. Covid handling and jobs for donors then truss and kwartang have shown them all to be greedy stupid fuckwits. much of this was just a wealth transfer and did little to help the average person.
we voted in a man who couldn’t even be honest with his own wife nor honest how many actual children he has to be fully transparent and honest with us? Fucking crazy if you ask me.

get this mess sorted first because any idea of rejoining the EU will just magnify our problems further.

I'd take the offer of 18 to 30 year olds being able to stay, study and work in the EU for four years like a hungry bird gobbles up a worm. I want my children to have a choice of a different type of life.

Of course your vote makes a difference to the outcome.
The problem is thousands of people thinking like you, and then the people who do vote make the choice.
The lowest turn out for the referendum was the 18-24 year olds, so they can't really complain.

Yes,my whole future now screwed due to brexshit

No.

I voted Remain, and I would vote to rejoin but in my view, even if another referendum was likely, the country would vote to stay out of the EU, and probably by a wide margin.

Rejoining would mean accepting the return of free movement. The ‘stay out’ campaign would inevitably fight on this single issue. They would find a receptive audience in England outside of London & a handful of university cities which are unrepresentative of the rest of the country.

Provincial England overwhelmingly voted Leave in 2016 because it wanted less immigration. Since then, both legal & illegal immigration numbers have increased massively as the government has lost control of the country’s borders. A ‘stay out’ campaign would present this as a betrayal of the Brexit vote, and they would have a point. They would tell people who think immigration is already far too high that the return of open borders would mean that hundreds of millions more people would have the right to come to the U.K., and they would be correct.

I’m building my own country so I don’t have to engage with the vast amount of stupid out there. I don’t care what the uk does as I’ll have my own little nation to live in.
