For info, in the poll we had as to how folk voted in the referendum, the 30 responses were split:

Remain  18
Leave  8
Didn't vote  3
Spoiled ballot  1

Be interesting to see how more leave voters would vote now, as well as others.

On another note, I would love to be a fly on the wall at Chequers today. Mind you, I think we may be able to see the fireworks from some distance away. Could be an explosive meeting.

Kind of surprised that its 2018 and people still think leaving (especially with this government in control)) is still a good idea??

That said, whatever your source, I don't think anyone can think that Brexit is going well so far, even those who are sure in the longer term it will be better.

Question to the poster who went from Not Voting to Remain - don't answer if you don't want to revel yourself or your reasons.

In the initial vote, were you undecided, or did you just think that Remain was going to win by a landslide anyway and therefore not vote.

 It didn't seem that important to me whether we stayed or went, and all the mixed messages didn't help persuade me one way or the other.  It's only now that I don't like what I see in the way it's brought out the worst in people that I wish the result had been different.

Thanks Brendan.  It was opinions of anyone who had changed their mind (either way) that were of most interest to me. There is no doubt that the whole process has created/highlighted massive divisions within the country and they will take a long time to heal, whatever happens.

I didn't vote either, although my problem was that having lived outside the UK for so long, I was ineligible to vote.  Given the possible impact on my life, that is why I personally feel aggrieved by the whole situation.

The government just need to stop messing around and get on with it.
The vote was cast, everyone is getting frustrated by the delays and business wants a clue in how to invest going forward.

I may be wrong, but after yesterday's cabinet meeting, it seems that after more than two years, the government have finally come together and agreed on what they want despite being told by the EU consistently that they can't have it anyway.

We are apparently leaving the Single Market, an agreement that guarantees Free Trade with Europe, in order to negotiate a new deal that guarantees Free Trade with Europe. OK. I understand that the single market comes with conditions which we now want to avoid. But the EU has said since Day 1, if you want completely free trade, that comes with freedom of movement of the people. That is one of the four pillars of the EU and a complete red line for them.

For us to say that we want the free trade but without the conditions, sounds like the dictionary definition of cherry picking to me, and I am sure the EU will not agree to it.
