At the same time Reform, the biggest brexit party, is the largest party in the polls. By a big margin
ledow on
Notice that this was ALSO the case for years before Brexit, almost from the second it was announced.
But there wasn’t a single major party that didn’t support Brexit by the time it came around. Virtually all the anti-Brexit / undecided parties literally changed their political stance so that nobody could vote for that, leaving only a tiny minority of parties that weren’t represented in even a fraction of the country and thus had no hope of winning being the only option by the time the next election came around.
Basically ~48% of the country said „No“ and all the major parties immediately assumed that the only way to survive was to utterly ignore 48% of the country entirely for the next decade at least.
Statistically, it’s like deciding to only listen to men and disregard every woman in the country’s opinion out of hand and provide them no representation, and it’s literally that politically regressive as a policy.
And it’s going to be years, maybe decades now before „women get the vote“ in that respect again.

I guess there is steel-like correlation between those 30% and Farage voters. Meaning Brexit has lost the « global britain » side of the coalition and all those that left are the « Rüle BrĮtAnyø » side

Yeah.

Had this conversation with my boomer dad the other day, essentially the argument goes „well we didn’t have a REAL Brexit, but when Nige gets in he will fix it!“.

R/Europe beating a dead horse again. The fact is that there is currently no political debate on re-joining the EU. No big political party is going to start that debate because it is a guaranteed shit show, it will divide the electorate and the parties.
Also whether Brexit was a mistake or should we re-join are 2 different questions. I highly suspect that a referendum on re-joining the EU would fail due to having to accept things like the Euro along with others.

Brits live in a permanent state of cognitive dissonance. On one hand they believe Brexit was bad and wouldn’t do it again if they had the chance. On another, they are about to make Farage, one of the main architects that duped them, Prime Minister.

Don’t expect much to change. Many of the Brexiteers have just pivoted over to Reform instead, and because of our strange antiquated electoral system they have a pretty good chance of winning at the next election.

Putin’s investment fruited so well for him.Feed stupid gullible people with social media propaganda, and pay a few key actors in politics.Easy-peasy.The West seriously needs to invest more in education to nurture critical thinking, because his trolls are eating us alive.Well it might as be far too late already…

I mean, it was a 52-48 vote 9 years ago and ‘no’ swung younger…

10 years ago I wouldn’t have just accepted that there’s 30% of the population who are utterly delusional, but now I think I can square that – at least it’s ONLY 1 in 3 people who are detached from reality entirely.

What if you had used the one tool that separates the human being from animals and reflected on your decision before making your cross? The grotesque figure of Mr. Farage should have been enough of a warning
RijnKantje on
They have a referendum like this every generation, and every generation goes up and down on the support for the EU.
This doubting, in itself, means they should not join. the EU is not some club you can choose to join and leave every now and then, it’s a national commitment to our continent.
The UK’s one foot in, one foot out approach might’ve been OK in the 80s, but we are becoming a single entity in many ways. Since the Maastricht treaty these opt-outs have been becoming ever more awkward.
If the UK joins again, and that’s a big if, it would have to fully commit. Which it realistically can’t.

How is the new relationship between the UK and the EU progressing? Given the current divergence, it would seem logical to continue to build deeper cooperation.

30% still in favour is still crazy high. The wool’s taken off their eyes, they can see they were duped, they can see the weakened position it’s put the UK and Europe in but they still think it was right to leave?

A bit fakin late, innit
Brexit is finished. All surveys show that Brits want Europe back—and they even [favor](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GnzOh4OWQAAdhW8?format=jpg&name=medium) a European Army.
Being a US vassal isn’t sovereignty.
