It took nearly 40 years to get the opportunity after so many politicians like Blair and Cameron promising one previously. The people have spoken. We tried living as part of the EU and we have decided not to any more, due to varying reasons. We haven't even left yet and people want to reverse it. Maybe they should get a chance in 40 years. Either way British people should support what the democratically referendum result was. If you are unhappy vote at the next election for one of the buffoons I mentioned. That's how it works As said within 40 years Brexit will be reversed. The sooner the better and by 2024 Remain will a comfortable majority and the chaos caused by Brexit can start to be reversed 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy is government of the people by the people for the people. It says nothing about mob rule, how they feel on one.particular day or referenda. What astounds me is how simplistic some people are in their lack of understanding of how democracies work. I see it in Thailand, but I never thought I'd see it in places like UK and USA. We haven't been sitting on a bombshell but dumb-shell. Anyone with a modicum of patriotism should be working hard to prevent this Brexit disaster. Hand your passport in if you feel that strongly like other posters are going to get an EU one. How on earth do the USA, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, china and other countries survive without not being part of the EU. Anyone who has any patriotism should be fighting hard to prevent those doom and gloom remoaners, from dragging the UK down. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appalling divisions we are now experiencing are a direct result of an inadequate majority. That is why super majorities are usually required for constitutional issues. With such a close position, people will continue to fight their corner until the bitter end. Some of the most foolish Brexiters invoke disloyalty. IMO, Brexiters are disloyal for damaging the country with such a crap decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is very clear however is that many Brexit supporters voted for things that we now learn are not going to be delivered. The nation's fishing communities know now that they have been shafted, it turns out that despite Brexit leader denials we don't only need a transit deal, the transit deal is going to drag on for years. The Brexit bonus of cash saved from the EU to be handed to the NHS isn't ever going to happen, the EU is still going to pass laws and regulations that the UK will have to follow (only now no longer having any say in what those laws and regulations are), and free movement is not ending. The list goes on. Leaving the EU is a good start. Nobody knows what else will happen yet. Or did you borrow Meg's crystal ball? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is comforting to realise that by 2024, the simple shift in demographics caused by the increase in young voters and death of the Brxiteers will give a comfortable majority to those who wish to remain. The task then of course will most likely be to renegotiate the UKs entry to the EU. As the demographics indicate, this won't be a problem for many Brexiteers as they will have mostly passed on. Time is on the side of remainers. It took 4 to 5 years to squash the Confederates looks like the Brexiteers have got about the same time too.

Hmm... respectfully, you have not understood my post at all; this is not about whether Brexit is a good idea or not. The UK is undertaking some of the most important negotiations in its entire history, and it seems to be doing so without any consensus on its objectives, without adequate preparation, without people who actually agree with what they are negotiating and without any agreed upon aims and goals. In short they seem to be "winging it". That is a recipe for disaster. A wise man once said, "when you are in a hole, stop digging." Dig sideways so create room for a running start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is worth getting killed for, you and your family get nothing out of it. Shooting someone in war might look good on the Hollywood screen but the person killing has to live with that for the rest of their lives, it is against all natural instinct for the average person to kill. During WW2 it was found by the American army's subsequent investigation that only 25% of front line soldiers actually shot in the general direction of the enemy and only 1% shot to kill. The German army had a name for the reluctance of the average German recruit to kill, it was said they had 'frostbite fingers' ie. a reluctance to pull the trigger. Very true - but 'the ideal' will take centuries/milleniums to achieve. At the moment, cheap labour only advantages the wealthy in more prosperous countries.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The status quo should have remained, it would have been a good warning to the rest of the EU that things have to change (I fully agree that change is needed) The UK is a valued,if somewhat uncomfortable, partner,especially to such countries as Germany and Holland,perhaps the threat of another referendum two years further on would have helped matters. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
