Trust me, your ignorance in this case is genuinely bliss.

It's the username of an individual on this forum who, lets politely say, disagrees view your viewpoint.

Heh heh. That's for us to know and you to find out. :rotfl::j:eek:

Was sceptical about leaving EFTA and joining the EEC in 70's, voted Leave and haven't changed my mind since.

I didn't / don't like the increasingly dictatorial stance of the Brussels bureaucrats - the so-called pariament is a joke, mainly rubber stamping the most incredibly complex instruments, that none of the MEP's will have ever tried to use in business. I could see neverending problems with the euro, and continuing imposition of unsuitable policies on various countries after the financial crisis. Furthermore, the idea that we are helping by inviting any non-European (whether refugee or economic migrant) to risk their life making a dangerous journey rather than taking the vulnerable directly from the immediate vicinity of a conflict zone seems to me to be completely ridiculous.

What's changed so far? Brexit is only one factor of a storm brewing within the EU. The Euro as a viable currency in it's current form is the issue that in time will come to dominate the news.

OP, I wonder if maybe you need to clarify your poll - I'm thinking option # 2.
Maybe it should read "Yes, I'm now against it"?

Any way - another Brexiteer here.
Another Brexiteer that is also even more determinedly pro-Brexit since Tusk, Junckers, Schauble etc. and especially UK media carry on with threats and what are proving to be false forecasts of gloom, doom and disaster.

There will be change.
Some of that change isn't going to be good.
That I happily accept.
But the "Chicken Little"-type cries are becoming very irksome.
The sky has not landed on our heads.
The world still turns on it's axis.
No wonder so many see what they perceive as being rabid pro-Brexiteers - it is a typical response to continual threats or promises of disaster which are based upon opinions, not upon fact.

So please can we cease the doom and gloom until there is some EVIDENCE to support the cries?
Or at least decrease the ammount, because it is getting more than a little silly.

I wouldn't change my vote. I think the bs came from both sides but to say the warnings of remain have been debunked surely misses the point that we have not even started to leave yet.

I voted remain for two reasons that are core to my beliefs:

1. To hold onto (financially) what I already have.

2. I believe people should have freedom to seek a better life, including and specifically immigrants coming to the UK. I can't remember doing anything special to earn the right to be born in the UK, as far as I can see it was pure luck.

I haven't seen anything that would change my opinion.

As far as I can see, the only positive about Brexit winning, was that it wound up Ruggedtoast.

I voted remain and still would. I think we are heading towards a Norway or Switzerland style relationship with the EU. It is worth noting both are in the Schengen zone...... I like the fact we have a say in the EU. I don't like the idea of not having a say which unfortunately is what we are facing. Leave is such a vague concept other than being out of the EU I have no idea what leave stands for.
