I realise this is a joke, but was #46 also a joke? You voted to leave, yes? But now you’re taking the pi55 out of those who also voted to leave? I’m confused.....

Yes. I voted to leave because I couldn't see any other way in which the EU could be properly and genuinely reformed, so that it becomes the effective nation state that is required so that it can properly protect all its citizens (including us, eventually). I think its current form (where you have people, goods and capital free to move but without laws, social security, healthcare etc being similarly universal) is responsible for a whole load of problems - criminal, social, economic, political, diplomatic and as we've now found disease prevention - and without serious reform (which can only come from popular consent) things will only get worse.
The EU has had loads of opportunities to come to its senses, and has missed them all up to this point. The past four years should have shown them what the possibilities are if they can get this right, that the US is not pre-ordained to be the #1 in the world.
I thought that (and I still hope that) once we are out that they will have a better chance to sort it out and no longer will they only propose things we won't automatically veto. I hope that if they do fix it, that we will join eventually - I think we'll all be far better off. I also think what the government (and the leave side generally) have done these past four years is an abomination.
I didn't vote leave to change the colour of my passport, or to keep fish that are nearby.
