• People were misled (some people) and some.of them will be worse off for it, which isn't really their fault

    Some of them were mislead sure, but there's an awful lot of people who are no smarter than me or better informed who voted for it. I didn't trust a single thing Farage et al said - why on earth did they? I find it bewildering.

    Of all the people I know who voted leave (actually only five of them have admitted it, I'm sure there's more) one was a doctor (if there's one profession that should know not to trust a Tory govt, surely that's it?). Another was a politically informed (and I thought aligned) IT professional - particularly shocked by that one given he was working on a long term consultancy contract in France at the time.

    I agree with @rodan - I think most Leave voters now need to shoulder significantly more responsibility than saying 'I was lied to by a bus'.

    Fuck those that are now having to deal with the consequences of their actions - maybe they'll learn something from it.

    They won't. They will blame the EU for not giving us the deal we 'deserve'. I agree - fuck them, it was all foreseen.

  • some of them simply believe the rhetoric of Johnson and believe we got the deal we wanted, well played, good negotiating tactics, EU don't look so clever now etc.

  • They will blame the EU for not giving us the deal we 'deserve'.

    This is the beauty of their argument / view. You simply can't win.

    Fwiw most the people I know who voted leave did so first for sovereignty and are in the main hard core free marketers looking to the longer term.

    The only exception was a non-EU national who was bitter about all the BS and £s they and their spouse had to go through, vs EU nationals. They have a lot of issues.
