Would you vote the same again?

All the old arguments to one side, didn't 16 million people vote to remain? It's a pretty big elite. Liberal, capitalist or otherwise.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
I didn't vote because I wasn't sure which one to choose and if I'm honest not much has changed to sway me to either option.
The fact that the country hasn't collapsed into a bigger mess then normal is amusing though.
Yes I know it's early days and the true effects won't be known for years yet.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
Dazzler - interesting article especially when viewed with hindsight. £ has dropped 15%, share price of firms that mainly trade in UK falling, manufacturing companies increasing their prices to cover increased costs, no sign of any increase in spending, increase in racial hate crime, no coherent plan how to negotiate brexit, interest rates remains crushingly low.
There may be a gap between the haves and have nots but how does leaving the EU change that??

Brexit will cause higher inflation a fall in house prices and a fall in the value of the pound.

Pretty sure if you make cars in Nissan in Sunderland, you are not part of the Liberal Elite.
Fact is, the one thing about this referendum is that you could just about make a case for the older you are, the more likely you are to vote Leave, but thats about it.
Even though I voted remain, the only way that you could really have another referendum is if the country really wanted it, and for that to happen, a political party would have to be voted in with it on its manifesto.
What might change all this of course if a bad result for the Cons in the Witney by-election.

Not sure about the old benefiting. If things don't go well with the economy over a period of years, the "triple lock" on pensions could be under threat, and if prices and inflation start to spiral then they will be significantly worse off.Lancasterclaret wrote:Pretty sure if you make cars in Nissan in Sunderland, you are not part of the Liberal Elite.

Fuel and food are probably the 2 most important issues for older people, and these are the 2 things likely to be most hit by the rising cost of imports.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
Diesel and food costs have been rising steadily for years anyway.
I remember fuel in the 90's was about half the cost it is now and I could also spend a quid in the shop and have a mars bar, can of coke and crisps with change.
Brexit can't be blamed for those things rising.

Nothing has changed, the reasons for dumping the EU are still there. The media, who always have their own agenda, might be highlighting the negatives, but there are still many positives in there as well. It neglects to report on the state of the EU without us. If it was better for them they should be rubbing their hands, instead the accentuate the negatives and bury the positives.

I was using the example of an industry that relies on the EU that clearly wasn't part of the Liberal elite to pour scorn on anyone who seriously believes that only the Liberal elite wanted to stay.
You are right though, I should really have used a better example from a leave point of view.

That's true. The over 60's are the young people who voted in the EEC referendum in 1974, and voted staggeringly in favour. Forty years on, they've changed their mind.

As for it all being guesswork, that's nonsense. A lot people (those experts who people have had enough of) warned that leaving the EU would be chaotic, and leaving the single market in the form of a hard Brexit will be hugely damaging to our own economy. Just look at what's happened before A50 has even been triggered. The pound is the weakest its been for over 150 years. That is not scaremongering, or project fear, it's project reality.
I'd vote to Remain again because there's no way I could willingly vote for this level of lunacy.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
Who wrote that article? Sounds like the kind of crap Richard Littlejohn would come out with. The inference that pro-EU politicians are all part of a sneering elite while the likes of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Ian Duncan Smith, Liam Fox, Nigel Farage etc. were all campaigning on behalf of the regular, working man is nearly as ridiculous as the idea that the NHS is suddenly going to be £350m per week better off.
For what it's worth, I'd obviously still vote to remain. I imagine most people have debated themselves into such an entrenched position that they wouldn't admit to a change of heart even if they'd had one, but given the make-up of the government as a direct result of Brexit (Johnson as Foreign Secretary, FFS) and the tanking currency I'd imagine that any movement in sentiment that does exist would be in the general direction of remaining rather than leaving.

As for the apocalypse/Zombies, that's a little silly, but the Remain camp tried to make out the worst would happen in other ways.
How do you know there's no plan for Brexit when negotiations haven't started yet?
They're keeping all current EU legislation/Laws that are currently in use in the UK, in the short term, so they can then properly pick through them and amend/get rid of them accordingly without rushing and making too many errors ( I do expect some mistakes tbh).
Labour are busy trying to nail the Tories to the mast already, whilst conveniently forgetting/ignoring that plenty of their voters and MP's also voted to leave.

Bear in mind that when the referendum campaign started, the pound was at its weakest for all but two of the the last 150 years.

The pound bounces around almost daily, it's just currently very low, mainly due to uncertainty around Brexit, but only because it's the unknown.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
Living in Spain, I didn't vote at the referendum because I didn't think it fair for me to do so. Had I been in England I would have voted to leave. Even though the fall in the pound affects me dramatically living here, were there to be a second referendum, I think I would use my vote this time and still vote to leave.
Regarding Marmite etc, this is an excellent example of the market economy at work. Did Unilever decrease their selling price to the supermarkets when the pound was strong to help the consumers, did they f.ck? Take all their products of the shelves and let the consumers choose other products: Unilever would soon change their policies instead of hiding behind Brexit to screw up prices and profits.

Re: Would you vote the same again?
Right, then good rallying call. I'll just get on the blower to China and sort out a trade deal. Actually, no - the job of sorting all that stuff out has already been allocated to the Three Brexiteers - Boris Johnson, David Davis and Liam Fox (and presumably his chum Adam Werrity will go along for the ride.) I feel much more confident knowing that it's all in the capable hand of three people that have blatantly only been put in that position as a political move by May who knows it's a disaster waiting to happen and wants to distance herself (and anyone remotely competent that she might actually want in her future government) from it as far as possible.Dazzler wrote:One reason why it might be a rocky road is that remoaners will still be bleating about it in years to come instead of just getting on with it.

Yup - I'd still vote leave.
The part of me that was willing to remain left the night before the referendum with Juncker's 'no more negotiations / deals for the UK' speech. I'm still not prepared to give up my democratic rights to a protection racket, particularly one so eager to make financially poor decisions just to 'punish' us for leaving.
Lets see how long Hollande is 'punishing' us when he's laying his public off from Renault, Peugeot and Citroen due to an inability to sell to the UK.

As things stand it's going to all be down to a small elite group of politicians and advisers to cobble together a deal and implement it. No power given to the 2 chambers in Parliament to scrutinise and if needs be reject it, and no opportunity for the people to have any say whatsoever. That's what you want is it?
Fortunately I think there are enough Tories in Parliament who respect our Parliamentary democracy, and I think they will ultimately hold Mrs May and her front bench to account.
