Why do some people expect short term good news on Brexit? Surely those who voted for it did do with a much longer term view of potential benefits?
Absolutely - however the slightest bit of bad news is portrayed to be the end of the world and all the predictions have come true

Time and time again it's said that this is a mid to long term gain. I really think many people can't see beyond the end of their noses and / or are just looking / hoping for any downside to justify their love of the EUSSR.Garvin said:

Reading the comments on here, it's clear many posters didn't have a clue about what they were voting for. The amount of times someone states they voted for Brexit and then comes up with some nonsense a 7 year old might come out with is astonishing,
Undoubtedly there will be some very intelligent Brexit supporters in here but generally they're keeping quiet. Comments about people being sore losers are the sort of thing I'd expect in a playground. It does show their choice was often based on tribalism rather than any view on "long term benefits" whatsoever.

If you said "surely those voting did so on a long term basis" on a c4 comedy programme you'd get a big laugh.

Interesting take on it from outside the UK and Europe (Geoffrey Garrett is Dean, Reliance Professor of Management and Private Enterprise, and Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania)

And we're back to thick racists again. Predictable, dull and not true. The amount of times someone states they voted for Brexit and then comes up with some nonsense a 7 year old might come out with is astonishing,

Yeah, yeah, but that 52% is the wrong demographic, they're all thick and shouldn't be allowed to vote. How very dare they not fall for the lies and threats from the establishment. Do they not know their place!generally this and generally that.

The alternative to the carefully chosen tyre fitter that Sky news found, you could get the views of the young, the students at Uni who are the future of the UK, the ones who have been let down by the oldies, the racists and the people who lack the intelligence to vote on such a complex issue.

Sorry to hear that. Do you mind saying what sector? I'm guessing you're a 40% taxpayer, just the sort of job we can't afford to lose to the economy.

Despite this, and despite the fact I would prefer us to remain in a properly accountable European government I voted to leave.
The people who make up the european council not only fail badly at keeping accounts they do not care.
When called upon to account for the money which we entrust them they look down their noses as if they can't believe we lesser people dare question their masters.
Personally I would have voted to nuke the arrogant t
ts from orbit but, I checked the back of the slip, that wasn't an option.Federated europe is a good idea.
They couldn't run S
horpe.Wait till the whole shebang collapses.
Try again.
