Brexit poll shows rising number of people regret UK decision to leave EU

An increasing number of people believe voting to leave the European Union was a bad idea, according to a new poll.

It shows the highest proportion of people regretting the result since the referendum in June 2016, with 47 per cent of respondents saying it was wrong for the UK to vote Leave compared with 42 per cent who believe it was the right decision.

The YouGov poll has been seized on by a number of Labour MPs who claim it suggests public opinion is turning against Brexit. The survey found almost two-thirds of the public think Brexit negotiations are going badly, compared with just over a third in March this year.

Interesting.

Mentalfloss consistently calls me a Nazi.

Now, Nazi practices and policies, as roughly laid out by NSDAP in Germany prior to 1945 are quite well known, and admired by those wannabes that call themselves neo-Nazis.

So, let's do a run down, shall we?

Nazis used political street violence to achieve their aims.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

The Nazis supported increased control of industrial production by the state.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

The Nazis supported special privileges awarded according to race.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

The Nazis wanted a united Europe, dominated by Germany.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

The Nazis wanted ideas they did not like violently suppressed.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

The Nazis wanted strict gun control.

Mentalfloss supports this; Colpy does not.

Well, now. That is six out of six for MF.

Who is the Nazi?

:)

You are for making the same gross generalizations about others that a Nazi would.

God, you are such a Nazi.

LOL!!!

Thanks for my evening giggle.

I should really leave you alone, I suppose.

It is kinda like teasing a particularly stupid mutt. Not very nice of me.

I'll try and do better.

I'll find something else for my low brow entertainment.

Well I guess I'm half joking, but still - you gotta stop with the same rote, tired, conbot talking points.

It's like you just graduated Rex Murphy's school of sanctimonious curmudgeon and already want to be a celebrated alumni.

How many Remain supporters regret their decision? For all we know, it could be higher than the supposed number of Leave supporters who regret theirs.

For some reason, though, no poll is done on that. I wonder why.

The number is right there if you can read it.

It doesn't tell us how many people regret voting Remain.

It says 42℅ of people in the YouGov (an organisation notorious for having its polling very wide of the mark in recent years) survey say voting to leave was the right decision, but how many of that 42% were originally Remainers who now regret voting the way they did and now want Brexit?

The media keep giving us polls telling us how many people supposedly regret voting for Brexit, but they never give us polls telling us how many people regret voting for Remain. Why is that? What are they scared of? I know there are such people out there.

And will you?

You need to put in a little more effort than 'bullshit'.

OK, I admit it. I regret voting Remain
