EU vote - Do you regret your decision?

Lin3ar

Yes, 2008 is still far too fresh in my memory too. A 40% paycut and my wife being made redundant hit me and my family like a ton of bricks.

I thought that we had come out the other side but now I'm not so sure.

It might have been a bit more useful then as, apparently, every single person who voted leave had no idea

I don't regret how I voted (leave), I do resent people assuming what that means.

When I looked on the ballot paper I saw Remain and Leave.

I did not see Leave - withdraw from the single market and cease free movement of people.
I did not see Leave - Get a deal like Norway with free trade and free movement.
I did not see Leave - Something in the middle of the two previous options

When Liam Fox says any deal that does not restrict free movement of people would be betraying the leave voters he is assuming that immigration was the main/only reason people voted leave.

This was the problem with the referendum, on one side there was an option that people knew what it would mean for the country, and on the other side was an idea that encompasses many different possibilities.

The leave campaign may have won this referendum, but any argument that it gives a mandate for specific terms of leaving is ridiculous.

If you put a vote to the country tomorrow offering a Norway type deal it is pretty safe to assume that practically everyone who voted remain would support it, so you would only need a very small percentage of people from the leave camp to do so as well to get a majority

If only there had been news reports, articles, debates, documentaries and discussion.

Nope he was called Pitt the Younger so was fairly sure he was young, pity that Pitt the Foetus lost after a recount. (A nod to Blackadder for that one)

A problem for the majority who voted leave , Cameron had no chance on a deal that would of seen many a voter remain , and many would of done so , myself included . If they could of at least reformed their laws and practices over the years for all member states as part of a union especially this huge. You need to listen to that union member states populations and not make them from an unelected central orginisation with little or no respect for nations democratic rights. You can't blame a nation to get frustrated and angered if the population feels left out of the process as it feels impotentent without a voice.

25 puts you into the next demographic. Most surveys of the age of voters put 18-24s as the demographic being discussed. 18-24s tended not to vote and if they did vote it was for Remain. A 25 year old PM isn't an example of this. So again, not relevant.

I voted out and I am still happy with my decision.

When the press and others talk about regretting the way you voted, what they actually mean is that if you voted leave you must be crazy and of course you are regretting it now!
