Oh for god's sake.
I don't regret it. But it was a single issue that swayed it to leave for me, so maybe a little uncertain is a better description. I think that will get better once things start calming down, which I'm confident they will.

I'm sure many do, simply because of the disgusting vitriol aimed at them from the more vocal Remainers. I know a handful that are now refusing to reveal their voting choice. Very sad.
Labour MP David Lammy endorsing contempt for the referendum result
I can't believe anyone is surprised at this sort of thing. It's actually surprising to me that such a close result was taken seriously in the first place.
I can understand their embarrassment tbh
No. I don't know anyone that voted to remain.
Even a jury has to be unanimous or in some cases a significant majority
Nope. A judge can tell the jury to find them guilty in the US.
Loving my new freedom. Looking forward to 2020. Also we can now make the Land Rover V8 again...win win
Absolute scum.
Those knuckle dragging Bremainers remind me of the violent anti-Trump thugs punching and assaulting people in San Jose.Typical leftist behaviour when they don't get their way.
You need to find a new circle...
This, 17 million officially voted to leave but we better undo the decision because of 1.9 million fraudulent internet signatures on an 'online petition'
Indeed...Leave won (like it or not) roughly 52% - 48% , the same margin which was initially predicted for Remain win , which seemingly would have been acceptable but because its Leave, its not acceptable.
So people clamour to sign a demand for a second referendum and then what? What if Leave wins again, do they demand we keep having referendums until they get a result they want? What if a 2nd referendum is held and Remain wins by 52-48. Then the Leave people say well if that wasnt an acceptable margin for us, then its not an acceptable margin for you , so now we demand a 3rd referendum ...and on....and on it goes.
As for the portion of students who are campaigning about it, well thats part and parcel of students it seems. Barely a year goes past where students arent campaigning about something or other. They think they are being all rebellious and summoning the spirit of the woodstock era but really they just come across as whiny little children who campaign about things just for the sake of campaigning.
What were your reasons for voting leave?
My concern is that it is such a knife edge majority to change the course of a country on. If it had been 75% vs 25% majority and I was part of the 25% I would take it and realise that yes the majority have spoken. But 52% vs 48% is not a decisive enough vote to change literally everything.
To all the remainers saying immigration was the number one reason people voted out (and I know there were some on here) the Lord Ashcroft survey suggests otherwise. Tories and Labour voters alike, the number one reason was the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK.

Likewise. The more the economy rebounds, the weaker the errr.. Irexit... REXIT! case becomes.
If there are significant difficulties in resolving the NI question, the sentiment is likely to turn more anti-UK than anti-EU on top of that. It remains to see whether other European administrations can be intimidated at the ballot box to offer a gamble on their EU membership. But I doubt it. The sceptics can rave and fantasise all they want in the core EU countries, it just won't happen. If we are dealt with fairly but firmly, our exit troubles, reduced influence and economic power will serve as reasonable deterrent; add a few reforms, a few more trade deals, and work to add sufficient new members to offset lost British potential, or amplify the FIG (France, Italy, Germany) and build up Poland (the plan for it was to, in time, become Germany MK2; it's far from the sick man of Europe people seem to think) even further. Either way, the contagion and the aftermath can be managed. Additionally, the xenophobic trump card only remains effective in the mid-term; crises as bad as they are in the Middle East and Africa aren't eternal.
Pretty much, i can see ukip getting a bigger share of the vote next general election.
