Whatever happens next, carrying on as if it’s business as usual isn’t going to work - doing nothing will provide fertile ground for both extremes of the poltical spectrum to flourish.
Again, regardless of whatever flavour of leave or remain we end up with, the country needs a New Deal type plan, addressing the issues that led to people voting to leave in the first place. Spoiler alert: it’s not the European Commission eroding economic prospects for U.K. citizens.
OK, we’re starting to spiral now. It’s probably worth reigning in a bit. Stuff that could be read as a threat of civil disobedience is probably worth avoiding!
In risk of sounding like I’ve gone mad, I actually have respect for Boris and David both resigning for not feeling fully committed.
I know it might be tatical but I do prefer the honesty in resigning rather than being made to follow the majority on votes in parliament to ensure conservative “wins”.
Im sure I can be corrected for thinking like this but currently that’s what I’m swayed towards !
I got stuck in the office during the Manchester side of the riots, police wouldn’t let us leave the building. Had to literally sit in a ground floor office like sheep hoping it would end soon.
Anyhow, to answer to original question, I wouldn’t change my vote (which was remain). I had only been eligible to vote for 5 months when the referendum came around, but I still looked into both sides.
Unfortunately, my constituency at the time (Barrow and Furness) voted heavily for leave
My sister - who was 17 at the time and so couldn’t vote, would’ve voted remain and has been very vocal about how annoyed she is that she wasn’t able to vote, considering this affects her perhaps more than the older people that can vote.
