I wonder if back in the 1970's, if the voting public had been given a vote on joining the EEC if they'd been told that the trading block they joined would also morph into something different, whether the vote would still have been yes.
Nobody was given the chance to vote against the transformation of the EU to what it had become in 2016 until the UK public were given the formal chance to object 4 decades later.
Brexit now has not so far delivered what the UK public probably expected, but that doesn't mean that it cannot succeed in the long term. Short term, knee jerk reactions are irrelevant; everybody needs to give it time to morph into what it will eventually become.

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Brexit is disastrous and can only get worse.

The common denominator in the argument that somehow in 5/10 years time things will get better is that no reason is ever advanced for this, rather like brexit 'opportunities' which have now been discarded.

If the EU bonfire of laws and regulations now costing hundreds of millions and employing hundreds of civil servants does take place
it will only damage us further and our already declining trade with the EU.

I would like to talk up the UK but can't find anything positive, and really there is an issue over our competence and judgement and position internationally which did not exist before.

To be frank, we couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery.

Beat me to it

Tony Blair himself said something along the lines of 'nobody realised how intertwined the UK had become within the EU State'. Which I would have thought went against one of Parliament's main cornerstones; namely, no Parliament can tie the hands of any future Parliament. But it looks as though successive Governments of both colours nearly achieved that.

The UK is free to do more of what it pleases with less interference from people and bodies that we would otherwise find difficult to counter. And in answer to your last point; a whole generation had to wait before it was given the opportunity to question EU membership. I see no reason why the same should not apply going forward.

Also, the EU has form on getting countries to vote again when the first vote doesn't go their way - Ireland, France, The Netherlands I believe all had to have another go in order to get the correct result. I don't see why the UK shouldn't buck that trend.

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Right, and having escaped the clutches of the evil EU and having reclaimed our wonderful democracy, you believe we should now deny anyone else the right to vote on the issue for a generation.

Thank god we have our democracy back!
