No-one, absolutely no-one, knew what they were voting for or against in the referendum because no-one knew. No concrete facts were presented from respected economists of differing views on the matter - I sought these out, as I was not prepared to believe either side and felt wholly ignorant on the subject, but I am willing to bet I was in the minority as the propaganda from either side was so strident and appealed to atavistic emotions. It was a travesty of democracy.

I agree with youPaddy - those 'in charge ' don't seem to have realised yet which is a pity - it may still be possible to change our mind but the longer we wait the more damage is done all round.

I dont think theres any doubt we've committed economic suicide.I just wish the 62% who voted remain in my part of the world were allowed some part in the negotiations so we could at least try to safeguard our financial future .

I don't think anyone will be prepared to admit that what they voted for is now wrong. But I definately think that there has been a change in the mood music since the election.

I guess what matters in the end is that the UK does not suffer from any choice we make.

Does anyone regret the choice they made in the referendum now that we are gradually seeing the effects of leaving the EU ?
