120,000 leave voters now dead
"Much has been made of the fact that the generation which will live with the consequences of the decision to leave the European Union didn't actually vote for it."
If the vote happened today it would have 52 - 48 for remain. https://www.indy100.com/article/brex...result-7463341 Also of note: "The British Election Study found that 6 per cent of Leave voters regretted their vote, compared to 1 per cent of Remain voters." |

The young didn't have to wait for the Brexiters to die off, they simply had to get off their backsides and actually vote!

LOL. Bremainers are a joke that just keeps on giving amusement even when it is in poor taste.

Agreed, so what? Leave won. When are remainers going to get over that?

The nation is about to inflict the greatest harm upon itself in many generations, and the majority don't even want it.
Too outrageous to fully contemplate. |

So, this is what the bottom of the barrel looks like.

I might launch a campaign for Brexiters to change their wills, and we can also start this Christmas by 'forgetting' to put the £20 notes in cards.

Ah a good old fashioned game of "what if", what if the referendum was held now? Steve's side (by Steve's dodgy calculations) would have won.
And? |

To be fair to the OP, who reposted the Indy headline, the biggest change seems to be the vote switchers - over a million would now choose remain while 161,000 would change their vote to leave.

The only vote that counts is the one on the day. A poll after is as irrelevant as the polls before that said we were going to vote remain.

I'm surprised these concocted/conjectured figures show such a slim "majority" for remain.
Let the self-centred old feckers stew for a bit longer, see their triple lock, free bus pass and winter fuel allowance shrink or disappear, and they'll be going down like flies when Brexit actually happens. |

I don't disagree about the vote counting. However, it would be daft to assume that the 52% on the day is 52% now. Support for Brexit is on the wane. Which makes the government's job more complicated.

Come on May, get that hard Brexit lined up so we can all have a good laugh. This is no different to any other democratic process. People vote against things (and parties), not for them. The leave campaigners had this behind them before the vote; in the coming years the backlash will be against them. It's inevitable. The problem is the remain lot can't get this simple truth through their thick skulls, and seem determined to keep the population against them rather than letting nature take its course. |

![]() All I'm really hoping for is for more turmoil and hard words so that the UK really is forced into a hard exit. Then I can profit a little bit more in the future as the British economy takes an even bigger hit and then eventually recovers - but the recovery will probably be down to recent school leavers rather than the people who actually voted to leave. |

To all those asking "so what?" The point is support for brexit is decreasing and will likely continue to do so. If in a years time support has fallen to say 40%, but A50 has already been triggered, it is going to create even more political turmoil than we have now, potentially even stopping brexit. (queue plenty of "get over it"s in response) We are in for a rough few years and no mistake.

Ridiculous thread.
If we had voted to stay in, we would be lurching deeper and deeper into the morass of the EU:- EU army, worries about even more immigration, concerns about how the EU was going to pay for the likes of Italian banks and concerns about the terrible prospects of being allied to a sinking organisation for many years to come. Those who had voted to remain would be wishing they hadn't been fooled by Osborne's lies and there'd be calls for a second referendum to get us out (which the remainers would have slapped down dismissively). |

Certain groups keep babbling on about the way the older demographic have caused brexit, but do they conclude that the democratic vote be taken away from certain age groups? Sorry, but I don't see the point in all this. As for the bit in bold, that's just specious bullshit. |
