Serious point actually, even if nobody changed their vote my guess is that a new vote now would probably be to remain because of demographic changes. In the last two years 1.2 million people have died and 2 million youngsters can now vote. If the original Common Market referendum wasn't binding forever, was the 2016 vote?

Fishing is often cited as a reason for leaving the EU but in reality its a very small part of our economy (less than 0.5%). In addition to that we currently have a trade surplus with the EU - if we played hardball and said you can't fish in our waters its highly likely they would retaliate with higher tariffs which would damage that trade. The Spanish and French don't steal our fish - all they do is work to agreed quotas just as we do in their waters - for example a lot of our fleet fish in Norweigan waters. Quotas are beneficial because they can prevent over fishing - fish don't respect international boundaries so leaving a quota based system could lead to precisely that. Would we also need to spend money patrolling our waters?

As a remainer, I’d now change my vote to a HARD BREXIT.
May’s deal:is far worse economically & politically than we have now.
Any new referendum majority vote which showed we wanted to remain:
- Brussels would insist we loose sterling
- Brussels would insist we lost our special Maggie Vito
- Brussels would demand greater commitment, everywhere
Alternatively, let’s cause even more chaos by dividing up the U.K. into two new states - one for those who want to remain, those who want to leave... & build a Trump wall while we’re at it (that was a joke)

I can sympathise with your frustration but its simply not true to assert that Brussels could insist on any of those things. The ECJ ruling today confirmed that we can simply revoke Article 50 and carry on as before. They have always wanted us to remain and would, I think, welcome us with open arms. They are our allies and friends. A hard Brexit would be a disaster for us all in the opinion of most experts. The Eton Boys will try to tell you otherwise of course but they are multi millionaires and have nothing to lose.Jembo wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 10:13 pm As a remainer, I’d now change my vote to a HARD BREXIT.

It’s a bit like a disgruntled employee who wants more, says is going to leave as believes the grass is greener on the other side... then finds there is ‘no grass’.
I trust if you’ve ever been involved in high stakes negotiation, you’ll know once your target has played their hand, has to retreat & then is stuck to 1 place, my experience is they end up loosing even more.
Whilst they are our good neighbours, they will want to send a message it can never happen again... & this is what worries me, as am sure they would also demand article 50 may never be invoked by the U.K. again.

I want out, I voted for it, and I'm old enough to remember when we were not in it. Back then we voted for a common market. Not a eurostate. We didn't vote to be controlled we voted to trade. We didn't vote for Brussels to overrule our courts. Or make our rules. To TRADE, that was all.
As for now, we have career politions who watch their backs without principle or backbone . May is outclassed and spineless, she is no Maggy, or Churchill, do you think for one second we would be here now if we had the caliber of those here?

I also think too many politicians are using this as a political football for their own gains rather than what is best for the people they are supposed to be representing
