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?

But you do know we would have to align with EU policies on just about all food products to trade with them. They don't even let lorry drivers take a packet of ham sandwich for their own consumption across the Chanel.

No

The silent majority will say no.

Yes. We really shot ourselves in the foot with leaving. We would have to accept less favourable conditions on rejoicing, if they would have us
There's an awful lot of crap talked about the EU. Most of us just didn't - and still don't - have enough info to make an informed decision about whether it would be better for us to be in or out. But with hindsight, it sure as hell looks as if it was a mistake.

Please don’t blame us all. I am personally devastated that we left.

I am devastated too, was and always will be 😥

Err you do realise that the UK has exactly the same rules on meats for personal consumption?

You can bring the following into Great Britain from any country without any restrictions:

• bread, but not sandwiches filled with meat or dairy products (Gov.uk 2024)

Any exporter to the EU has to align with EU rules, just as a German car maker will export cars that follow UK rules....

EU alignment isn't binary, its a sliding scale.. from a restrictive and costly trading relationship as we have now to full alignment i.e SM membership and ANYTHING in between.

Boris promised young people membership of Erasmus, which the EU was more than happy to give but he then went back on his word.

I don't know where you get your views from but they are incorrect.

The EU have always said they'd be very happy to have us back.

Again, the EU have said we'd be welcome to come back. This is needlessly dramatic bollocks. The door was not 'slammed shut', we followed a political process to leave.

The referendum should never have been allowed in the first place and we had the worst possible people 'negotiating' (ha!) the deal. But the EU simply followed what we told them we wanted.

It's all fucking David Cameron's fault. Fucked the country over for generations to come because he was scared of Farage.

Yes Cameron is ultimately responsible, such arrogance! even Osbourne advised against it, the polling from 2015 was always very close.

Bojo used Brexit to gain power.

Both should be in court, they are supposed to act to protect the UK, not fuck it over for their own ends.

& the wrong person died in that plane crash.

This.

first off - polls are known to be inaccurate. No one I know who votes to leave is unhappy with that choice. They’re just happy with the current government, but they are able to see that Brexit is only an exacerbating factor for issues that have been building for decades. Rejoining won’t fix them. At most it’d be a sticking plaster, and would then allow the uk government to go back to blaming the EU for everything rather than taking any responsibility.

second - and I vote remain - I would vote no. The EU hasn’t become any better from a wastefulness or democratic legitimacy perspective, and we’d be going in on much worse terms than we had.

Funny how trading agreements the world over are deemed to be good for the UK BUT a good trading agreement with the EU apparently wont make any difference and will even make matters worse......

The reasons Thatcher supported and helped design the Single Market are as valid now as they were when she was in power, would be a huge boost for the UKs exporting sector.

As for "Blame" the govt still blames the EU and anyone and everyone for the UKs failings.

Sunak isn't taking responsibility for anything at all.

That's a strange one! Voting Leave because you think that Remain will win! However, the EU/complacency thing is probably more of a factor”

Not really. Margaret Beckett voted for Corbyn not because she wanted him as leader but because she thought it was important for democracy 🤯 subsequently regretted it. And she’s intelligent!

second - and I vote remain - I would vote no. The EU hasn’t become any better from a wastefulness or democratic legitimacy perspective, and we’d be going in on much worse terms than we had

agree.

It’s interesting how some who voted remain would now vote leave ( not that they’ll be another referendum for decades )

Sadly this sums it up

No

Absolutely not.

😂 and 👏

I thought Corbyn was a vote loser.
But actually all his policies were brillant - apart from he also supported Brexit- he didn't fight for remain. I don't think I can forgive him that.

Corbyn wanted to renationalise the railways. If I remember rightly, a survey found that the majority of Brits would have supported this.
