As long as they obtain their political objectives they could not care less about UK and it's population. Not just their political objectives but their personal financial objectives too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how much Leave voters are in favor of a deal, and how much aren't. Anyway, both group can't be happy, whatever the decision of Mr. Johnson will be. That makes a lot of people unhappy due to Brexit. But it also makes a lot of people happy too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy and unhappy citizens have the power to express their opinion when voting, too much unhappy ones isn't a good thing for the government in place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the argument 48 percent of voters are Remainers then a large number of leave voters are unhappy which means that a large majority of those who voted in the referendum would have to be unhappy with no deal or any last minute deal, which puts hardline leaders in a shrinking minority. Obviously just an educated guess. I personally can't wait to join the hoi-paloi in EU airport queues and pay 10% on a new car and 30% on my Camembert ....and unable to stay in France more than 90 days in 180.....and require a work permit.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to know the figures would be to have either an election or a referendum. Any other way such as a poll of limited numbers becomes inspired guesswork. The results of a poll can be skewed in advance simply by whoever commissions the poll will want to control the end result favourable to themselves. So if you want one result then skew the questions and choose the people to be polled. If you want a different result then skew the questions differently and choose different people. BTW the next election is about 4 years away maximum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is aberrant that after more than 4 years, some believe there is still the need to mention that the majority of the voters voted Leave on the referendum. Everyone is aware of this, but still not everyone consider this as a good idea. These people are continually express their opinion, adding elements which they consider as proof they are right. This will continue till they are showed/convinced with concrete elements that they were wrong. I don't think that the continual mention of : " we voted, we will leave", soon "we have left" is a valuable argument to convince them Brexit was/is a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I state that, based on numbers, there are more people unhappy than happy, but that is of course a hypothetical reasoning, is actually, indeed, every Remain voter unhappy? Will there be unhappy Leave voters when Mr. Johnson will decide for a yes or no deal? The only way to know is indeed a referendum ( which will not happen) and a vote in 4 years. In 4 years the situation will not be what it is today. So my statement as per now, is a speculative one based on some elements, as is every other one, with different components. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to be a bit more discursive on how the UK will economically benefit from Brexit? Because free trade with the closest market that is also the 2nd or 3rd largest economic entity in the world is relatively unimportant? What factors outweigh that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
