Has anyone changed their mind about Brexit?

Herzlos

We see a lot of angry shouting about Brexit, with neither side seemingly being willing to accept any other views.

Has anyone, since voting, changed their view, be it from Leave to Remain, or Remain to Leave? Can you explain why?


EDIT: The 2nd question should be "Yes, I'm now against it".

Whilst obviously the opinion of these forums this should prove interesting.
Just so long as it doesn't get hijacked, eh?

Voted leave ....... even stronger desire to leave considering the continuation of Project Fear despite (so far) so much evidence that the UK has definitely not sunk or disappeared up it's own orifice.

Voted leave and still strongly believe in leave.

Wish the toxic Project Fear doom-mongers would keep their mouths shut.

Wish Theresa May would get on with triggering Article 50.

Any favourable changes announced in the Autumn Statement should come into immediate effect to boost confidence and business.

Voted to leave the EU. So long as we're out of the political institution and the customs union everything else is fine by me. EEA/EFTA would be my preferred choice. (Yes I am aware of what that entails)

cogito

What I've learned since the vote is that the likes of Juncker, Tusk and Verhofstadt are nasty vindictive individuals who are outraged that the UK has decided to walk away from the corrupt, disfunctional, undemocratic organisation that they preside over. Their threats show them up for the pathetic creatures that they are and they provide further proof, if proof was necessary, that we need to get out asap.

They will have to face up to the reality that businesses in Germany and other countries will not permit them to vent their spleen on us as it will only harm them.

I voted leave and I just wish that we could hurry up and leave as right now it seems as if everyone is concentrating on showing us the bad side of leaving such as increased prices for goods.


I also think that we seriously need to stem the flow of people coming to this country as our public services are at breaking point but people just keep on coming.

This post is a red rag to a ruggedtoasty.

It is nearly bonfire night, let the fireworks commence!

I voted leave, and at first I'll admit I did have a moment of wondering if I'd done the right thing. I've always been very ambivalent about the EU, so whatever the outcome I would have been ok with it.

As time has gone on though I'm more and more convinced that the vote to leave is the right decision. The economic indicators are far better than predicted, better than I expected, and a lot of the doomsday scenarios around Nissan leaving for example have been shown to be wrong. I always had faith that we would find a way round the inevitable issues, and so far that has been the case - long may it continue.

I still believe that we will do some form of deal with the EU that allows for a good trading relationship, but for the UK to step back from the political stuff. Both sides will be better for it.

I voted remain and think it was the best choice.

Didn't buy into either the doom and gloom or the milk and honey versions of what Brexit might mean. Hopefully in a few years we'll still be living lives of luxury with one group saying the continued good life is down to Brexit and the other saying it would be even better had we stayed.

I didn't vote, but if rerun today, I think Leave would win by a bigger margin, not least because Remain's best arguments have all been debunked by events. The Leave argument about the £350 million a week for the NHS has also been debunked, but my impression is that Leavers weren't ever really about the NHS, so it wouldn't make an equivalent difference.

Voted to leave and my decision has been reinforced by the dictatorial, hostile and uncompromising behaviour of the eurocrats like Juncker, Schultz, Merkel and the ugly Belgian individual.

I do not want Britain (or any other sovereign European nation for that matter) to be part of an undemocratic and increasingly dictatorial German empire. I firmly believe that creating a superstate will not work; the pipe dream of having some sort of liberum veto has been proven in past history to not work (even when it operated just within a single country), and it won't in this case due to the huge variety of national characters/histories of the European countries. There are other European countries that will also strongly object (more strongly than us, for historical reasons) to attempts to remove their sovereignty, though they are biding their time so far due to being bribed largely with UK taxpayers' money. Trying to enforce the superstate would lead to war, AGAIN.
