We voted to leave but seeing as we've fucked people from seven different countries I very much doubt it was racism that made us do it.

No of course we don't, but the fact is when you are part of a divisive or easily identifiable group you will be portrayed as, and judged by the actions of the worst in that group. This is the same for all of us regardless of what sort of group we are identified with.

The trouble with Leave was it was Hijacked by Racist/ Bigoted Groups to benefit there own propaganda

While normal honest people who had well reasoned views were over run by the so called powerful groups.

Nothing wrong being a Leaver,

As a Remainer , i have once moaned ( well not much, ok just a bit , well actually every minute of everyday)

But we are also not loony lefties or snowflakes.

The problem was that parliament gave us a vote that we were not entitled to make without the full facts from both sides , which none of us got.

There is a great youtube clip

From auf wiedersen pet titled democracy.

Everybody gets what nobody wants .

I am. Not sad. By all means debating brexit is fine but bringing racism into the equation oversteps the mark. I find the remark that leavers are racist very offensive.

Many uneducated people voted leave and also many uneducated people voted remain. Nobody ever knows what they are voting for because MPs lie. Leave won and the government leaflet had the information of what a leave vote meant.

Either way, whatever we voted we all lost and democracy is dead.

The peoples vote would be ok but should have only two options on it. No deal or leave with the deal offered.

We can't go back, it wouldn't be democratic.

I’m not in favour of another referendum. But what would be the problem of having remain down as an option? If remain got more votes, it would indicate that more people who voted wish to remain than leave. Which is entirely democratic.

I agree that the poster who labels all leavers as Racist is clearly incorrect in his statement, and is also sad, and abusive, but he is entitled to his opinion however misguided he is. We should be able to debate our positions without having to be rude or abusive.

Nope. I think that some leavers are racists.

Of all the racists that voted I think that the overwhelming majority voted to leave.

Of those people who are absolutely not racist I think that the leave campaign was designed to make them fearful of immigrants and this wod have encouraged them to vote to leave.

Is that unfair?

Not offended and I have found your situation to be very similar to other people who voted Remain. They have also said they would change their vote to Leave, most saying they are disgusted at the way the EU has been difficult, dismissive. The EU had the ability to agree the detail on TM’s deal that would have enabled it to be passed, satisfying even the hardest of the remainders and the leavers in Parliament, but they chose to play hardball, because they are just as eager to overturn the decision to leave.

Would it be wrong for the British peoe to change their minds?

Would it be wrong to allow people to show that in another referendum?

If you have acquired more education and you have changed your mind is it not possible that other people have done the same?

I’m saying that the EU and UK agreed on everything. But brought up this backstop which scuppered the entire deal, MP’s would not back it as they knew it was bad for Ireland and gave no legal assurances as stated by the attorney general. All asked for more Concrete rather than a half hearted promise, to play fair. They had the opportunity to move on the ambiguity, and three times they failed, to Compromise.

Our Economy is grownung better than that of the G7. Our Environmental and 0 carbon targets are leading the G20, and Mays Deal far from perfect has assured that rights will be protected. So where is it that you get your info that we’re suffering. Business wins and loses contracts every day, businesses are more prepared for a no deal than the government is investment from Canada, America and China is growing, and lots of investment decisions are on hold not because of leaving the EU, but because of the current uncertainties.

The EU did not "bring up" the backstop.

Ireland asked for it to be guaranteed. They are in the EU so the EU will look after their interests, not ours.

There is nothing to compromise if the border has to be kept open for the Good Friday Agreement.

There cannot be an open border with no trade deal. That is a WTO requirement. That means that there must be a temporary agreement. We agreed to it and 27 other countries agreed to it. Only the DUP and some extreme Brexiteers dislike it. Why can't they change their mind? They aren't even a national government.

What's your solution?

A 4% margin is tiny. That can flip on any given day.

Having the referendum to satisfy a small, angry minority to benefit the Conservative party split the country, not the EU.

That's misplaced blame.

For the record and please don't hate me but I was a remainer. If I were to vote again it would more than likely be a vote to leave as I've aquired more education in the last couple of years x

Do you have an example of something you’ve learned that influenced your change of heart?

Yes the behaviour within the EU and learning about the unelected italian prime minister who worked for the EU as an eccomonist

Right, and is that any better than Westminster? And if so is it worth the economic/environmental/loss of rights impact we’re suffering?

We went from the strongest performing economy in the G7 to the weakest after the referendum vote.

Our growth only overtook the Euro zone in the 3rd quarter of last year. That means we have sacrificed almost two years relative to where we could have been. All of this time we have had a weaker currency which should help exports and have had exactly the same trading relationship with the EU. Yet we are only now showing some growth just as we head into the teeth of a global recession whilst we try to change all of our trading relationships.

We have low unemployment but food banks and rising child poverty.

A trillion pounds of capital has left the country after foreign companies went on a spe ding spree buying up our historically cheap companies and properties.

China has just warned of slowing growth and Trump is busy having a trade war with them.

Investment decisions are on hold because we are leaving the EU and they don't know what our trading arrangements will be. If it takes any longer the investment will be made elsewhere because that is less risky. There is no logic to investing in the UK if we leave the single market as a much bigger trading block lives next door.

The UK is losing European headquarters which will not come back. Instead of regional decisions being made here they will be made elsewhere. We become just a national office receiving orders.

I don't know if you are just trying to be positive or you have found a particular news source which you believe above all others.

The trouble with Leave was it was Hijacked by Racist/ Bigoted Groups to benefit there own propaganda

While normal honest people who had well reasoned views were over run by the so called powerful groups.

Nothing wrong being a Leaver,

As a Remainer , i have once moaned ( well not much, ok just a bit , well actually every minute of everyday)

But we are also not loony lefties or snowflakes.

The problem was that parliament gave us a vote that we were not entitled to make without the full facts from both sides , which none of us got.

There is a great youtube clip

"Do all remainers, think that all brexiters are racist ,

"
. Definitely not , there is no way the 17 million are all racist ,, however the result was 52-48 which only required a 3% swing , and the number of racists in our great country is ( unfortunately ) vastly greater than 3% so although not all the leavers are racists , the racist vote was substantially enough to win the referendum ,,, In a democracy every individual vote should be of equal importance , as was the case in the referendum but there is an element of sadness that basically it was the racist vote that was the difference between leave/remain , If you are reading this and you voted leave and you are not racist then I am not criticising you I am just pointing out that if you take away the racist vote remain would have won quite comfortably

Either way, whatever we voted we all lost and democracy is dead.

The peoples vote would be ok but should have only two options on it. No deal or leave with the deal offered.

We can't go back, it wouldn't be democratic.

If we could go back we would bring back guy fawkes

So if you had deal, no deal, or remain as the options, and remain got 40%, deal got 25% and no deal got 35%, which one should we go for? Remain, because it got more than each of the other two, even though the 2 leave options got 60% of the votes, and it got less than 50% of the total? Or no deal, because it got the highest of the 2 leave votes, even though it got less than 50% of the total?

2. In the event of leaving, May's deal or no deal.

The referendum in 1997 on the reinstatement of a Scottish Parliament had two questions, on two separate ballot papers, so there is precedent:

On the first ballot paper the following appeared:

Parliament has decided to consult people in Scotland on the Government's proposals for a Scottish Parliament:

I agree there should be a Scottish Parliament

I do not agree there should be a Scottish Parliament

(To be marked by a single (X))

On the second ballot paper the following appeared:

Parliament has decided to consult people in Scotland on the Government's proposals for a Scottish Parliament to have tax varying powers:

I agree that a Scottish Parliament should have tax-varying powers

I do not agree that a Scottish Parliament should have tax-varying powers

(To be marked by a single (X))

Just to cherry Pick your paragraph and explain how a second preference would work here is the answer, probably if we had a second preference vote.

Remain got 40% of the vote. The May deal would be knocked out of second round and their second preference vote would then be allocated. Most of the Deal people would Probably, and I say probably go for Remain but lets hypothetically say 15% of the no dealers said they would prefer remain and 10% no deal. Therefore Remain would have 55% of the vote and no deal 45%, and thus a comfortable remain victory. If on the other hand 15% of no dealers preference was for no deal then that 15% would be added to the 35% no deal and we would have a tie

and the queen would have to decide.

2nd preference is the answer, I assure you.

Get your facts right many companies have stated that investments are on hold because of indecisiveness. Not because of leaving the EU. Business is frustrated, and so investment is on hold until business know when we leave and what leave means. So the point was investment is not on hold because we are leaving the EU, investment is on hold because they don’t know when we are leaving or what that will look like and the Indicituve voting, just made that even more uncertain as a week ago we had one of two outcomes, now it appears we have nine.

"Alison Rose, the chief executive of commercial and private banking at Royal Bank of Scotland, told the conference that its corporate customers had increasingly moved to pause their investment plans in Britain over the past three months.

“The uncertainty makes it very difficult for anyone running a business.

“Everyone today would agree that the uncertainty has gone on for far too long,” she said. “We’re at a point where decisions need to be made in terms of preparing for the worst – and that’s certainly what we’ve done.”

I think it more reasonable to infer, that business sees that all outcomes have both positives and negatives, and therefore arecwaiting so that they can make better use of the positives.

Additionally to the now nine options, business had certainty that we would have left today, now they havecuncertainty ad to wether they can trust any date set by the government or the EU. Like the Public Fed up and want the whole thing sorted.

I personally think the deal on the table should be accepted as a compromise and then perhaps another referendum to rejoin if we find it's a pig in a poke. The EU if they are the democratic force for good that they say they are should sign up to that as part of the political non legal declaration

However I suspect a lot of the other 27 members once they've read the fine print will be clamouring for a GB type deal. It's nearly back to how the EU should work with a group of potentially friendly nations, trading with each other with none of this european parliament and ECJ over ruling a nations own judicial system.

There is no rejoin option. We will never be allowed back with the same favourable terms we have now. Looking to rejoin at a later date when we’re poorer and have less to offer and have a history of being the difficult member, will get us something similar to May’s shitty deal.

Yeah but that pre supposes that all of us Brits are difficult people. I'm not particularly.( Are you ??? :, smile I was joking). I am perfectly happy with what we have at the moment and if Article 50 was revoked I'd be as happy as Larry. It was all a stupid idea anyway.

However, perhaps a 2nd referendum is the way forward and I would definitely vote in it if it was a 2nd preference vote. Binary get's big thumbs down from me as we now know what the deal is, 2.5 years ago we didn't. 3 options should be available or even 4 if that's what parliament decides.

One thing for sure is I do not have a say in the way forward and you think I am going to sign a petition calling for a second referendum then no way hosay. The first referendum under it's rules was what everyone should accept as binding. It was the rules set out. I agree it's wasn't binding. Stupid Dave should have set a miniumum margin for it to be binding so hard cheese Leave, you need to compromise so this is the end result. What a stupid mistake he made there. Other countries that have had referendums have set margins for adoption so why on earth didn't he set something.

I guess he thought it just wasn't cricket to do that and smuggly thought that there is no way the country will vote leave.

I know that you know when and why the ending of rebates was proposed. I guess telling the full story does not fit in with Brexitology. Much better to tell half the story and use the just the bit that suits your agenda.

It was proposed in last years funding blue paper taking into account the UK’s departure and proposals as to how the E.U. would be funded post-Brexit. By the way, it is still only a proposal and will probably only get firmed up once Brexit has some clarity.

He said that there must not be a hard border and that the EU would help Ireland find a solution but expect the UK to do likewise.

You, or which ever publication you read chose to interpret this as something completely different.

I don't think all leavers are racist, no. What I can tell you, and it might feel uncomfortable, is that's it's not a good time to be a foreigner living in the UK.

The odd comment from a grunt on the street doesn't bother me, I've only had two since the ref. I can deal with that - after all, there racists in France too and I have to clean up my backyard before judging yours.

However, what is genuinely scary is how this govt seems to be going after us.

Anyway, I've decided not register for the settled status, I will not register to be permitted to live in my own home. If Brexit really does goes through, I'll sell up, close my company and move somewhere else.

This isn't supposed to be a whining or inflammatory comment, but think a minute about having to register to keep living in the home you own.

Going off topic, so goodbye!

Just to cherry Pick your paragraph and explain how a second preference would work here is the answer, probably if we had a second preference vote.

and the queen would have to decide.

2nd preference is the answer, I assure you.

We've already had the first preference, which was leave....so the second preference referendum should be deal or no deal.

Although the EU won't allow us to do that. They've already said that if there is another referendum it has to have remain as an option."

The Brexit-means-Brexit, Leave-means-Leave options presented to the British people have 17.4 million interpretations.

No deal was never mentioned during the campaign. Do please indicate where of that is not the case.

Brexit is what the government and Parliament say it is. You voted blind and that's what you get.

I think the people should decide if they like the transition deal and the several years of further negotiation for another unknown destination or they think that remaining is better.

Do you think that the British people should not have this choice?

Do you think that the British people would be wrong to change their minds?

Do you think that the British people should not be given the opportunity to change their minds?

You can make the normal arguments about voting for ever etc, but please try to answer these questions directly first without changing the subject.

"Do all remainers, think that all brexiters are racist ,

No, that's a bit like saying that all remainers are cowards because they prefer to stay under the yoke of the EU rather than striking out on their own and taking more control of their own destiny. Not all remainers are cowards, but most are
