It wasn't fully explained to voters, all the implications which have since become highlighted..
Although there is a lot of truth in this statement, I think a lot of the people who had no doubts about voting Leave were in fact savvy and knew exactly what they were voting for. Many also knew it might mean an economic downturn initially.
I voted leave but was on the fence for the campaign. In other words, I probably initially wanted a 'soft Brexit'. I now feel mistaken in this.
When slime-balls like Tony Blair turn up, openly pushing for a second vote, you know you're on the right side when you're on the opposition side. The gall of the man.
We let them foist upon us a Remainer 'plant in waiting', to lead the Conservatives. They were able to do this by trashing Andrea Ledsome's lack of experience and because the two front running male Brexiteers were buffoons who lacked support (Johnson and Gove).
As much as I cant abide Johnson and Gove, I now realise May was at worst a huge con and at best a terrible mistake. We should have had a confident Brexiteer at the helm to aim towards a 'no deal' and end up delivering a hard Brexit. The EU have treated us with contempt; and yes, we did spill blood to rescue them in 1939-45. The EU were forced to do this in order to send out a message of deterrent.. but it's still a disgrace.
And as for Labour, Corbyn has been trapped. He's anti-EU but has to appease all the remoaners that his party is saturated with. He could have won over potentially millions of voters, simply by getting rid of Starmer and replacing him with someone like Gisela Stewart. Starmer shouldn't be anywhere near Brexit negotiations, shadow or otherwise.
NO DEAL. We should have worked towards minimising the negative impact of this as a priority, over all other attempted negotiations, from the very start.
