The single market is one of the four essential interlinked freedoms that come with EU membership.
We voted out of that organisation.
Anyway, it is not for the UK to decide. The EU will decide what kind of relationship they want with us once we have left.

It's the same where I live in the north east all those Labour supporters who saw this as a chance to give Cameron a slap, quite a significant factor in why some voted leave even though the media don't talk about it, I had loads of people (even a couple of Tory supporters here) tell me that by voting remain I was "on Cameron's side" even though my reasons for wanting to remain in the EU were already well established long before I had even heard of the man,
They clearly have no idea of the devastating impact that leaving the EU will have on jobs (not everyone up here works for Nissan despite what the media implies, and not every employer will get a 'special secret' deal either) to say nothing of the impact that loss of EU funding will have on the area,

The same goes for my home city Stoke on Trent a place which is also traditionally Labour but voted leave in large numbers,
Going on a lifetime of experience I really don't see our Tory 'friends' falling over themselves to help such areas post brexit, their usual response is one of intentional and vindictive spitefulness towards areas where they know they will never be popular.

No the only feasible option is a full departure.

The EU has consistently had the lowest growth rate of any region in the world in the last decade. Italy has hasn't seen growth for years. Why would that be if the EU is so great for prosperity rather than just a source of cheap labour, mass youth unemployment and misery.

There are over 175 nations not in the EU - we would be one more not in the job destroying, over regulated inefficient and massively indebted EU bloc.

Unfortunately these areas will seemingly only work out what they're losing when the deed is done.

I've tried to make the point to people in the North East as well, and it's met with blank looks. So really the only way it's going to get through to them is to let them suffer.

Some people have to learn the hard way.

I find it weird that the legal challenges are greeted with so much venom by brexiteers. Yes they may delay the process, but the make the governments negotiating position much stronger. If A127 is need to kick us out the SM, then that means the EU can't do it. If A50 can be reversed then we have a back out plan if the deal is not good.

A better chance of a good deal means a better chance of brexit actually happening,

You are making an elementary "all Canadians are subjects of the Queen" error, showing why referenda are a bad idea.

There are more than four "essential interlinked freedoms that come with EU membership", we're not going to lose all of them, neither have Iceland, specifically mentioned int he Leave pamphlet.

Precisely. It would be laughable were the situation not so extremely grave.

It is scary that so many of these people in such communities have been whipped up into hatred for the EU when it's the EU and its officials who have identified the disgusting failings of UK governments in their dealings with these communities over many generations, and has tried to do something to remedy it.

It really is the stuff of despair.

The hard-hearted part of me says bring it on and let them sink. They'll rue the day.
But we're talking about real people and families and children

And it's all been done to satisfy the ravings of revolting, right wing, xenophobic little islanders like Farage.

But it is also available to countries outside the EU if certain conditions are met.


This is true.

What is a source of despair is the mass youth unemployment the EU has created by its economic polices and slavish devotion to the Euro and one size fits all interest rates. This then forces them to uproot themselves and go to the Uk do low wage cheap labour jobs to survive - which then has negative impacts on our young people in the resulting race to the bottom.

An organisation that systematically ruins the future of its young people isn't really one worth celebrating.

Excellent and typical response, don't agree with me/us? Don't like what I/we want/like? Then don't you DARE voice that opinion, don't you DARE speak for those who share it, don't you DARE fight to change something you disagree with,

just leave your country because you have the audacity to have an opinion I don't share.

People who say such things will also quite often be the first to demand THEIR right to 'free speech' or to tell you how "proud they are to live in a 'free' country"
Their version of 'freedom' seems to be based on the sort of 'freedom' which says "agree with me, do as I do,.... or leave"

Whereas most reasonable people understand that 'freedom' means people have the right not to agree with you, or even with the majority.

Why can't remainers just accept the result. Project fear will damage the economy far more that Brexit

Unlike the "350m" Brexiters we don't accept things that aren't true.

Pretty much every credible economic commentator agrees that Brexit will damage the economy, the few that don't offset that damage by removing regulation protecting workers and consumers or allow places like China to dump cheap goods on us destroying our own industries.

I expect most of us already have accepted it.

It's too easy to dismiss everything as Project Fear. It demands a bit more respect and scrutiny than that.

I was never a diehard Leaver, in fact I was probably about 60/40 for Leave.

But I don't regret my decision at all. Indeed, the blatant attempts to overturn the Brexit vote by some people who just can't let go has only reinforced my view that I made the right decision.

Agreed.

Still rubbishing our country and running it down six months on!

Out of all the stupid things that brexiters say , this has to be the stupidest. Its also the most cowardly.

You want brexit, fair enough, but have the balls to accept its going to damage the country to achieve your goal. If you think that is a price willing to pay then it just strengthens your conviction.

Me neither. And a half baked departure which still insists on unfettered free movement won't do

Why were the only options in or out?

Did somebody think about it and decide that was best. No.

It was in out because in out sounds catchy.

That is just how dumbed down the political narrative has become. In out all the way out the harder the better.

Leavers were given lots of warnings about all this from lots of people before the referendum but would not listen.

This time take the warnings that are out there about the options still being the same whoever is PM after the next general election.

To be honest I have not seen many remain voters who don't accept the result, the overwhelming majority clearly do accept it,

There are many who, like myself, are confused as to what it is that leave voters want, I refuse to think of leave or remain voters as some sort of 'hive minds' who all want the same thing and all agree with each other in the way many here tend to do, because it's simplistic, un-helpful, and quite frankly childish.

It's is all the fault of Cameron and Johnson, the 'leaders' of the 2 opposing campaigns, the simple leave/stay question on the ballot paper is also a major factor in this chaotic farce,
There is much talk from some leave voters about "remainers think we are stupid" MY belief is that quite clearly Cameron and his chums thought we were ALL too stupid to be able to grasp anything more than a yes/no question,

that trying to get all the various options of leaving (or staying) into our thick plebeian skulls would be too much effort, and anyway, we would vote remain, Cameron would resign in victorious glory before the next election,
Boris would be a shoe in for Dave's job based on his well organised and run losing leave campaign, with a glowing recommendation from his chum Dave,

At least that was the plan, hence Dave's rapid run for the hills when it all went 'chest' up.

The only people saying that Leavers are regretting their decision are Remainers.
The desperation is palpable in the air.
I saw someone on Twitter gleefully posting that Moors Murderer Ian Brady was a Brexiteer.
Desperado.

Get a grip!

Ah, Brexit Britain, all bad news banned.

No.

I want Brexit to happen.

Not only that I do not want FOM if that means without it no single market so be it after all that is what Cameron and Osborne said would happen if we voted Leave.
