Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

    We voted out. You can’t put us back in, it’s undemocratic.

    People never thought Brexit would win but it did. If we had another vote, it would win again. You can find twenty million Brits who voted for Brexit and will admit it’s a mistake but when they’re in a private voting booth with no eyes looking, they 100% vote to stay out. Then what? Have a third vote til you get the result you want?

    If it was a mistake then it is a mistake we have to live with.

      How are those 350 million pounds a week working out for you? NHS must be a real powerhouse now with all that cash.

      Every opinion poll since the referendum has been more and more pro EU. Even the GB news poll was pro EU.

      Is that so? I’m not convinced.

      It’s not odd to hold another vote if conditions change. But I don’t see that being reasonable within a decade or so.
