It’s become undeniable.

My mother was all in on Brexit, she started out fiercely declaring it’s what the country needed.

Then she said it’s going to benefit the country soon, then said it needs some time.

Then she said that everything going wrong was unrelated to Brexit. Then said its not that bad, and the eventual positives will balance out.

That’s the opinion shifting over the years. She now admits it was a mistake, “but how could we have known?!?”…

Britons voted for it, now they think it's completely failed. I don't know guys, but there some questions that we should just not ask Britons!!?

Personally voted against Brexit, but always believed it should never have even gone to a referendum. We are a parliamentary democracy and parliament should have decided.

Weird take: Brexit continues to show waves of failure year after year. So I don't think yelling about it or going "I told you so" with a poll is the answer.

The answer is to push the brexit supporters into the ocean.

I wonder. In Australia, Germany, and the bulk of the world prices are crazy, due to greed in the covid times.

Are Brits mistaking this phenomena with Brexit?

In Australia we, for the first ever time, have a highly visible homeless problem for example. Houses are not affordable for future generations. Basics are getting out of reach financially.

If we'd had an "exit" of sorts, would we even know if it was the exit, or the covid greed?

I suspect we'd blame it on the exit.

No shit, Sherlock. The rest of the educated world could see the shit-show that would ensue. I guess it’s good they finally caught on.

Excellent. Labour, the next government of the UK, will see this polling in the guardian and campaign on an easy win to rejoin the EU?

Will they fuck. Both Labour and Tories want Brexit votes in the North and poor areas of the country. Hence neither will do anything but more Brexit. The sad thing is that people will still vote Labour in massive numbers and keep us in Brexit mode. Get used to it lads.... a decade or two more of this.

What the aristocrat with messy hair lied?

Shooting themselves in the foot sucks, world shocked with surprise

It exhausts me how dumb the country I live in is (the US) and I appreciate that there is another country out there that can at least make me feel a little bit better about how dumb my country is.

The problem with a failing economy is that it's very hard to get it back on track. Where Brexit has truly failed us is in accountability, as those that made the decision and pushed the populist opinion to leave won't see many hardships from it.

IMO, a Labour government should look to reverse Brexit in everything but name. Set trade deals, introduce freedom of movement to allow British people to take opportunities in the EU for higher salaries (a reverse on the last decision), and push it as a win for trade. As for accountability, many will disagree with this, but I think the only way out is to remove the pension lock and start taxing those that have holdings. Set a cap on the price of second homes to reduce by 1% every year (so people don't immediately sell to the cash rich and crash the market, but not slow enough that savings are secure), and invest heavily in growing economies.

Many don't think Starmer will be progressive, but given his record and reputation in the CPS, I think he might be playing things safe until an election is won. I have surprisingly high hopes for a Labour manifesto, if independently coated.

You cooked it, you served it, now you eat it.
