Did you vote LEAVE? Do you now regret this?

The pound will also drop again when manfuctuers such as Nissan who use the UK as a gateway to the EU will leave for an EU country such as Germany.

The economy will also be effected when we lose a significant amount of our skilled workers. The uneducated and ignorant won't all of a sudden become skilled, capable workers unfortunately.

The economy will also be effected when our universities who are largely dependent on EU funding will be largely diminished, with many university towns who depend on their university to employ a significant portion of their population suffering.

The economy will also be effected because businesses will be deterred form making new decisions, and new investments because of the uncertainty of our future. That is common sense. This will lead to reduced investment activity and reduced hiring. Less jobs= less wealth.


After the two year window, trade flows will slow considerably, considering that half of UK exports go to Europe and we will no longer have access to the reduced tariffs and market access that members of the EU benefit from.

This is alongside an abundance of other economic consequences you have to look forward to. And on top of that, we have to waste a **** load of money writing and establishing new laws and regulations that were perfectly fine in the first place.

But yes, because the country one day after the referendum -when the exit process hasn't even begun- hasn't gone to the ground, that means that we are going to prosper more than ever doesn't it?

Go bury your head in the sand some more and keep patting yourselves on the backs. Time will tell, and you'll be sorry.

I voted Leave. I would do it again. I'd crawl over hot coal to do it again.

The "Regrexit" narrative is bogus, the Remain-biased TV broadcasters have tracked literally two or three Leave voters who say they regret it. Maybe they should interview the vast majority of us who absolutely don't regret it?

Fact is, the MAJORITY of voters voted Leave, the majority of people are happy with the result. I know the Remain side is upset but you will just have to get over it.

Erm nope.

You'd have thought the Remainers would stop the fear narrative now that it's over. At least some have.

You actually have such little appreciation for how intertwined the UK is with the EU. 40 years of integration doesn't disappear over night. And while that uncoupling process occurs our economy will be in an extreme period of uncertainty. Investors are already refraining from UK investments and investing heavily in other areas such as the German bond market. If investments continue to move away from the UK you will start to see a reduction in growth (ie. jobs).

Additionally, in order to access the single market (a prominent reason why companies invest in the UK in the first place) we'll have to agree to a lot of the very same EU regulations we voted to remove. These regulations will mostly be non-negotiable because the EU wont want our lax regulations with regard to health and safety or the environmental protection undercutting operations in EU countries (not too unlike what China does to the West). That's not even mentioning the very real possibility of still having to agree to free movement of labour just like Norway and Switzerland.

Oh and with regard to trade agreements, have you ever considered whether the UK even has the infrastructure in place to start setting these in motion? There are 52 trade agreements we need to set up just to reach par with what we had within the EU. Additionally, if you thought TTIP was extreme, just wait and see what a severely weakened UK would have to agree to when negotiating with the US.

But that's all unimportant right? Let's just disregard pretty much every single expert who's commented on the Brexit saying it's too big a gamble for such a little pay off.

There is a poll to ask Parliament to question the constitutional validity of the referendum. If you are concerned about it you may wish to sign:

I thought you giving some rational points before the yet more fearmongering.

"just wait and see what a severely weakened UK would have to agree to when negotiating with the US."

It was only yesterday that Barack Obama disregarded his 'back of the queue' comment and assured Britain of their special relationship to America.

You're speaking as if the EU doesn't need us. Germany's car industry needs us, you really think that the EU would risk jobs and an industry of their biggest contributor? No. Even the Canadian president assured us of our relationship.

We voted to leave on Friday morning. Already USA, Canada, S Korea, Iceland, Ghana, Brazil, Norway, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland have talked close trade relations with the UK. Also, out of the UK's top 10 non EU export markets, the EU has trade deals with 2.

When the pound and the FTSE100 dropped after Brexit remainers hopped the gun, they couldn't wait to get at the Brexit camp. Yet when the pound rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high, they weirdly went a bit quiet on that. We've just been the first country to vote to leave the EU, of course there will be uncertainty, but we expected this and were prepared for it.

So talk down our country all you want, keep the fear stories coming, but I and many leavers will be excitedly looking forward to our future being able to negotiate our own deals and have our own laws, free from the clutches of Brussels.

Delighted we voted to leave and I am so glad I voted this way.

Also, stop with the petition and being a sore loser, you lost, get over it!

I voted Leave for numerous reasons and am pleased with the result which sounds increasingly like EFTA, my desired outcome given that even hardened Euro-skeptics like Daniel Hannan have been suggesting that we'll give some way on immigration in order to maintain access to the single market.

I expected short term pain and market instibility however with 10 year gilt yields falling on Friday it looks as though even long term investors believe that the UK will be fine in the long run.

You'd have thought the Remainers would stop the fear narrative now that it's over. At least some have.

The Brexit vote was partly a protest. Many people did not vote for damage to the economy and the prospect of Scotland leaving the UK.

WANTED - names to sign up to a new petition urging fresh negotiations with the EU followed by a second EU referendum. Email apfin2 at gmail dot com if you voted LEAVE but now regret this.
