| There’s a number of things missing: - This poll doesn’t do constituency breakdown - How many of those people would actually vote? - Do they know what rejoining entails? - There is no campaign on rejoin - In such a campaign, the Brexit media will absolutely spell out how hard rejoining actually is - Only 17% of people actually think this is important - The EU still wouldn’t re-admit the UK because nearly half the fucking country still wants to be out! Speaking of referendums: > To rejoin would most likely be the same. No, to rejoin, first you elect a party that either campaigns on rejoin or to hold a referendum. Both are guaranteed vote-losers because of what I posted above: 83% of the country doesn’t want to reopen the Brexit discussion. In addition, with the UK’s voting system, you can have 55% support your position and hand an 80-seat majority to the 45% who oppose. > And it turns out that the result is even more lopsided in thinking Brexit was mistake This is simply a garbage poll and doesn’t back up your claim at all. “Do you regret” is not the same as “should we rejoin.” Let’s go back to the core issue: in the best case, half the country wants to stay out the EU. That is NOT “politically settled” in any sense of the term. Until that changes, with all major parties supporting rejoin, actually rejoining is total fantasy politics. |
