So back in the real world in all my circles of friends and family I know 1 ONE Brexit voter. And that's the mum of one of my daughters friends. Her thinking was as a freelance IT consultant it would be good for her as they are pretty loaded, no mortgage and she figured she'd roll the dice not thinking for one second we'd actually vote leave as a country. She now regrets it. That's it I don't know a single other person. Likewise on my work socials on Linkedin not a single leave voter save for the odd old man shouting.

Were we conned? Did the UK really vote to leave?!
We were conned in most GE do they ever get reversed? Not for another 5 years the Tories have been in for 12 years continuously.....
 
Once the vote was decided you have to live with it ......in a democratic country....
Joey, referenda are actually advisory and not legally binding. The shape and form of brexit went through several bad tempered rounds of parliamentary scrutiny culminating in a general election.

Said election was won on the back of Brexit fatigue and a simple message of getting Brexit done.

The final Brexit deal was rushed through in a panic and we're now looking to renegotiate it.

Point is, if the mood changes then in a democratic society things can be scrutinised and reviewed. Either via general vote or parliamentary democratic processes. Given we live in a representative democracy, not a direct democracy.
 
Lib Dems will take us back in without a refferendum the French would leave if they were given a refferendum Macron stated he's not that daft .......
Where did you get that idea?
It's only the looney hard right wing who are frexiteers. Those fascist like parties have only about 80 seats in parliament. Similar number to the ERG and supporters in Westminster.

So you agree you were conned?

My point was (tongue in cheek) I think the so called 17.4m votes was it was a joke and fraudulent stolen referendum! Nah..never happened. No chance. I just don't know anyone that voted Brexit other than the single person I mentioned above.

There’ll be people you know who voted for Brexit, but now won’t admit it. It’s the same as the Tory voters, a lot of them have gone silent now they’ve seen how much of a disaster it was.
