If you had the power to go back and change one thing in 2016 what would that be?

So this can be anything that has happened in the world in 2016, either in the public domain or personal to you.

For me 100% I would change the vote to Brexit if I could. Entirely selfish reasons. I think this is going to have a huge negative effect on my husbands job and therefore on our livelihood. Also both of my kids are just starting out on their careers and their generation may be one of the biggest losers in the the economic uncertainty that is likely to occur over the next 10 years, regardless of what (if any) long term benefits there are to leaving the EU.

Personally an absolute shitload of things (as usual).

Publicly Brexit and of course Trump.

Not the least of which is because Obama did more for conservation than almost any other president in history and now Wiggy and his handpicked bunch of rich goons will shortly be destroying all of that progress as swiftly as they can.

I'd save Bowie.

His demise kickstarted all this shit anyway!

Difficult choice between:-

"Remain" to win referendum
Hillary Clinton to win Presidential election
England to win Euro 2016
Mo Farah to be BBC Sports Personality Of The Year instead of Andy Murray

BIB Trump was my natural second choice and I totally endorse what you are saying. For me the scariest thing about Trump (and there are a whole load of scary things) is that he does not believe in global warming and has put people in charge of the environment who share his views. The damage they could do to the long term wellbeing of our planet does not bear thinking about.

There was more chance of me sleeping with Katy Perry and Taylor Swift in a threesome than that ever happening.

We are absolutely bloody useless.

I would have put much more money on Brexit and Trump than I did originally.

At least you are not Scottish.

Still, Iceland was very funny. I'd also change Portugal winning Euro 2016, the worst team I could imagine winning it. Anyone but them, even England!

I personally couldn't care less about Brexit or Trump. I'm surprised so many people are saying this is what they would change.
