Re: Changing your Mind ?
I cannot understand why anyone who had made their choice, on reasons they believed were good, could even consider changing their minds. This isn't a choice of which flavour ice cream you want, it is about what you believe is best for the future of this country... so if anybody would change their mind it would suggest that they had not considered their reason for voting as they did, or they were giving way to bullies who wanted them to vote the opposite way.

As a sixty five year old I have lived through the ever changing face of the EU since its first conception, and I don't like the way it's going. Because young people have not had the experience of seeing the changes over the years they would have been wowed by the bias reporting of the media, and Cameron's misuse of his position as PM. (He should have been neutral and acted like a referee to see fair play from both side) This is probably why the majority of young people voted the way that they did.

I can't quite believe what we're left with. Total shambles. We're all left dangling not knowing what direction we're going in with no-one to lead us.
Meanwhile everyone is watching the abuse, fighting and back stabbing, which makes me feel ashamed of what our country is becoming - or should I say become.

Re: Changing your Mind ?
To my mind it’s a very sad outcome. I agree that both campaigns were unworthy of the name. The issue at stake was very complicated. With hindsight I do wonder whether it should have been decided in this way. You know what people say: ask a silly question…29-06-2016, 10:16 AM

You have been listening to too much media coverage (they love a good scrap, it gives them a purpose) There is too much at stake for us to be left dangling in the wind. Cameron's departure was only cosmetic, he has never been the one who made the big decisions, it's like Realist is always saying, the people who run the country have got things in hand, it was never in doubt.

Re: Changing your Mind ?
HiAt the present time nobody knows how it will pan out.
If Boris does not deliver on his immigration deal, I have no doubt that some will change their minds.
If the remain were right about the finances and there are more cuts and tax increases, others will also change their mind.
Conversely if it is good for us, some who voted remain will also wish that they voted for leaving.
It all depends on what deal we get, far too early to say what the outcome will be.
