5/5 remainers so far then...

Remainer till I f*cking die, and if we do leave that could be sooner rather than later as I can’t afford private medical insurance.

Vote leave and in hindsight, id probably go remain given the mess it has caused. It shouldn't have gone ahead as 52/48 is NOT a big enough majority imo, thats a split.

I do still firmly believe that our country and resources will be better off if we controlled our own borders thus left the EU.

Borders was another VL lie. The UK already had/has full control over its borders.

Remain.

Brexit is absolute sh!thousery that was sold on a lie and makes pretty much everything worse and based on nothing but racist rhetoric.

It quite clearly won’t be, and we’ve always controlled our borders anyway.

Intrigued to know if that remain voter who would now vote leave in genuine. And if so, the reasons.

Indeed. I am a Remainer personally and despair at the wasted money, time and resource that the past 3.5 years has cost us, not to mention the divisiveness caused between friends, families, colleagues etc.
I believe that many Remainers didn't vote on the belief that it wouldn't be anywhere near close and, if we had another vote now, we would see an overwhelming Remain vote.

Which seems to be backed up, looking at my poll so far.


5 - 4 Votes
4 - 2 Votes
3 - 1 Vote
2 - 1 Vote
11 - 9 Votes

I will vote remain, but my vote will not matter as I live in NI and this, as people from Scotland, Wales (yes I know they backed leave) and NI know is England's decision.

The fact Brexit still hasn't been delivered should be a massive red flag

I've spoken to one who said they would switch based on the EU's "treatment" of the UK in negotiations... cutting off one's nose to spite one's face...

I am remaining,.........in Europe ,thank you.

Brexit means Brexit dont let the door hit you on the way out

Joking aside I think its the wrong decision but at this stage some of you must be sick to the back teeth of it. 3 years of going round in circles and no decision.

I'd take 30 years of no decision tbh.

I'd rather they didn't spend another £110m on marketing and coins they can't use mind but that maybe just me.

Could have given that to the guy who died in an alleyway next to the Hilton Hotel last week in Nottingham but I am a looney lefty.

I have never heard a convincing argument as to why we would be better off outside the EU. It makes me sick watching Boris Johnson being so enthusiastic about us leaving the man has nothing to lose. He’s stinking rich either way.

As an aside, the idea of doing more business with the biggest polluters on earth is another nail in the coffin of the preservation of the beautiful world we live in.

The government have been quite successful in getting this line out. Completely untrue but apportioning blame has shown to have been popular amongst many voters.

I believe there would be substantially more who voted leave and would now vote remain than via versa.

People didn't know under what terms we'd be leaving, now we do, I can't possibly imagine anything but a remain vote.

Fair enough Hoody.

Its the little Englanders you see on the TV that haven't a pot to pi ss in and all you hear them say is "We need to get Brexit done"

Couldn't make it up

I think that's a reasonable stance. I voted Remain but would have been ready to compromise on a soft Brexit along the lines of the Norway model (which was frequently lauded by Leave campaigners before the referendum before being denounced as 'not really Brexit' afterwards, once soft Brexit votes had been harvested). That would have delivered leaving the EU and the 'ever closer union' aspiration that Leavers wanted, while maintaining the economic benefits of the Single Market and maintaining UK citizens' freedom of movement as most Remainers wanted. I think it would have honoured some of the wishes of the two halves of the country. No one would have been massively happy but the winner-takes-it-all approach has been toxic.

Just like I've yet to see a Tory voter post a policy that makes them want to vote tory.

But Corbyns in the Ra and all that

Indeed... which is why I'm surprised there isn't more support for another referendum.
