Given the choice of another Brexit vote, would you change your mind?

  • I never voted but would now vote to leave

    Votes: 23 2.2%
  • I never voted but would now vote to remain

    Votes: 48 4.5%
  • I voted Remain and that is still my decision

    Votes: 571 53.9%
  • I voted leave and that is still my decision

    Votes: 359 33.9%

    Votes: 12 1.1%
  • I voted leave but would now choose to remain

    Votes: 47 4.4%

Interesting that the amount of leavers who would change their minds is up to 11.4% on this poll. I really do wonder what the situation throughout the country is.

And this is one more reason why I voted Leave... Police as usual scared stiff
 
I never voted and would still not vote, which is missing from the poll.

I didn't vote because I don't feel I know/understand the absolute facts either way. I feel any decision I made would therefore have been somewhat ill-informed.
 
Voted remain and still want to.

I just don't see the upside to leaving?? Can anyone give me a single decent reason? Main reason a lot of leave voters went that way is I believe they think they're getting their sovereignty back.
Well, Britain never really lost it in the first place. Sure in order to be part of the single market it has to comply with certain rules/laws etc but there was nothing stopping them from deciding not to follow them. It would have consequences but we're not forced to do it at gun point or anything.

Now we still need to trade with the single market so pretty much all of these laws/regulations for products and people coming in and out we'll STILL have to comply with. We'll also have to pay a per capita price same as I think the Switz and Norway (I think?). Roughly working out I heard to be pretty much what we paid for full membership, if not more.

Except the kicker now is we have zero say in ANY of these laws, no vetos, nothing. So where is the upside? Am I just being dense?

When it comes to renegotiating they'll make sure we're worse off than before (not enough to cripple) as not making it punitive would cause other countries to leave if it turned out you can have your cake and eat the thing too. They'd be crazy not to.

Leaving the economics - folks who just want the power residing in the UK (where it never left) and voted for nationalistic reasons may just have started the ball rolling on the nation pulling itself apart. So again I ask, where was the upside to leaving if the end result is Scotland split and possibly northern Ireland 10,15, 20 years later (if Britain ceases to be the impetus will be for a united Ireland eventually, something I'd quite like to see actually!)?

Immigration, well it turns out most of that was external to EU anyway - last I checked Syria, Iraq, Afghan etc are not part of the EU!

Edit: Most MPs across all parties were in favour of staying. This sort of thing should never have been given over to joe public, clueless in most things who're easily swayed by a tabloid headline.
If you want out you vote for an MP who also holds that view at the GE or their party if it has it in their manifesto.

Just checked the poll results. Either people were lying before, or they are lying now, but some of you are telling big fat porkies.

How very sad...

Of course, it was to be expected. Lots of people in this country (and around the world) who are invested in the EU are angry and want to start a riot. It's so very sad that quite a few people who have voted stay are turning to bullying, lying and manipulation.
This thread has a purpose and its not what is originally stated in the OP.
 
Why wouldn't they when 90% of their job is already being done for them in Brussels? it's time now for our politicans to actually earn their wages.

Brussels decides 90% of British laws... that's a new one. That's the sort of nonsense that someone who doesn't know any better might grab onto for a reason to vote leave.

Brussels might make laws/regulations to make sure products have to meet certain standards before being sold (infamously banana being certain shape) but you know what, those laws are actually quite good and protect consumers. Last I checked the only place that can make British laws is parliament.

Edit: and again to re-iterate - we'll still have to comply with those regulations that come from Brussels unless we don't want to trade with Europe!!!

Wow. So where are these amazing politians that no one ever complains about and they always do the right thing for everyone ?

Here's a simple scenario: UK parliament could propose a law/rule to the EU. Everyone agrees and its a new EU law 'from the EU' Yet you would still complain EU is ruling us.
 
The vote is over. Remain lost. Now we need to move on and arrange as good as possible a deal for Britain.

Although (lol) ...

It's funnier when the description is right :p But I find these petitions very funny :D
 
If Article 50 drags on and the next elected government refuses to invoke it, I won't be too disappointed. Just get on with things.

But I will never vote again in any referendum, local or general election.

I don't understand what you mean. Where is the bullying, lying and manipulation?

Not trying to be confrontational but honestly that wouldn't make any difference to anyone apart from yourself.

The reason that whether we should leave or not after the referendum is even being discussed now is because the majority was so slim. Should a 4% majority decide such an enormous choice for the entire union, that's what is being debated. If it were 60/40 then far more people would accept the result as it would have a much stronger mandate.

Add to that the stories of people changing their minds, as witnessed in this thread, if you believe it or not, which lends credence to the opinion that maybe that 4% majority mandate is not enough to bring the country down such a potentially devastating path.

The problem here is, The remain party were more than happy to accept a 4% majority in their favour, they knew they would not see the 60/40 split they needed, so didn't go for it.
 
Based on responses to the previous poll 'how did you vote in the EU referendum', out of the 12 that responded 'voted remain but would now vote leave':

5 didn't answer the original poll
3 did vote remain
5 lied in this poll

:)

What about the voted leave and now would vote remain? I would expect given the furore these would be largely genuine.
