I see no brexiteers have stuck their heads above the parapet and answered my question about regrets in leaving, despite the feeling among the populace now swinging back to wanting closer ties with the EU.

The vote in 2016 was just over 51% in favour of leaving. It was suggested that many "elderly" were in favour of leaving which swung the vote that way.

Unfortunately, some of the elderly proportion who voted to stay have died over the last 7 years, which will result in a swing to rejoin the EU; given that some of the elderly population now were younger at the time of the vote and assume that their vote will not change. Also, the new young voters will probably vote to join as they know no different.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Astonishingly, I’m still waiting for 1 Brexiteer to show me 1 Brexit benefit.
They can’t, because there aren’t any. Fact.

Remember- the half a dozen or so prominent Brexiteers all had and sold a different and personalised version of Brexit - Johnson, Farage, Hannan, Davis, Rees-Mogg, Duncan-Smith, Gove….and all the rest of the big mouths and client journalists…….Pritti Patel declaring with triumphant glory that “this is the end of  ‘freedom of movement”, without reminding you it was the end to your freedom of movement too. Immigration has absolutely rocketed, with chronic labour shortages………. all these stupid fevered egos, with their own perception and calibration of Brexit. Parliament is sovereign….always has been, still is. The EU never had the power to ‘impose’ a single law on us. Some sold you leave but stay in the single market and customs union, They sold Norway style, Swiss style, hard Brexit, leave means leave, easy trade deals, more money for the NHS, control of our borders….all the rest of it. All palpable b0llocks. Compassion for decent, hard working, caring Brits who wanted change and something better and were duped, but anyone who understands data and economics was right, and anyone still clinging on to some idiotic perception that it has been anything other than an act of calamitous and boneheaded self harm is, frankly, an absolute f***ing idiot.

I have done on multiple occasions. I deeply regret voting to leave. I was a naive flipping idiot!
