This post has been merged from a topic called 'Changed your mind?' by Midlands Eagle Fellow palace fans, I haven't posted on here for years and have a question. There has been lots of talk recently about a second referendum on Brexit, a people's vote etc. Whether you voted remain or leave last time, have any of your changed your mind? Say the choice was Would any of your vote differently to how you did the first time around? '2) Remain on the same terms as pre 23 June 2016'. I am wondering if that would still be the case, that the UK can still continue on current terms ?????

I think it would have to make a much bigger payment into the EU than it does now. Also, teh EU has just signed massive trade deals with the US and Japan. The UK issue is seen as an irritating admin issue now, a bit like a mosquito bite, soon disappears.

It really looks like it would be beneficial for EU to have the UK limited paid access to the single market without the veto or any say in how things are run. Thus protecting the integrity of the single market and disposing of a perpetual pain in the arse at the same time.

Voting to leave the EU was the best thing.....It was a fantastic day. Your philosophy about the EU is losing all over the EU as the right gathers strength. You will never understand......Still.....loving the fact that an EU fanboy relocated to one of the most EU skeptic countries.

I voted leave but I'm not sure that I would again as I did so in good faith that the Government were capable of negotiating our exit but now that I know we couldn't negotiate our way out of a paper bag I would probably change my vote and hope for another referendum when we had a set of stronger Government ministers You could wait a long time, if not for eternity, for that to happen.

haha, keep your fingers in your ears and keep whistling while everyone else moves on. Regarding where I'm currently living, the current administration is against some of the immigration policies of the EU. They have no intention of leaving the EU or the Euro, the same for Italy. Both Austria and Italy are pushing for change within the EU, which has been a process ongoing since the EU's inception. It's always been an evolving trade block and union. At least Austria and Italy have the guts to push for change unlike the UK which simply has never been a team player unless it's guaranteed to win, a bit like the spoiled brat at school who thinks he/she is aways better than everyone else but on finding out reality is different, decides to try and ruin the toys of the other kids in a fit of jealousy. Enjoy your isolation after next year but reality looks like you'll be in limbo for years with the EU picking the best pieces of any deals as it has the trade deals with the rest of the world while enjoying the €50 billion penalty plus the many other €billions from the businesses that are moving or already have moved from the UK to the Eurozone.

That's a risible point. We can't legally strike deals with foreign countries while we are apart of the EU. 'Foreign countries' want the EU single market. The UK could never offer any of the advantages of the single market. So trade deals there are none. After we leave especially.

What than H of P, given 40 years plus, of being in the customs/ economics union, could possibly be the point of leaving it? Something better? What, there is nothing - really absolutely nothing. No trading/economic arrangements in prospect at all, with anybody. That's how ridiculous it really is.

That's what the EU still is, a customs and trading union that gives massive opportunities for its citizens to live and/or work anywhere in a trading bloc consisting of 500 million people. It's only something else in the minds of those who want to blame something else for the UK's internal issues. The UK like every other EU member has the opportunity to deport EU citizens that have not found work and are not self supporting after 3 months in the country. It chooses not to do that. More immigrants have come into the UK every year from outside the EU since the UK has been an EU member. Nearly every EU citizen in the UK is working, paying tax and contributing to the economy and society. What irks those that voted leave is that they were shown up with regards work ethic and culture. That's what they hate and that's why they selfishly want to take the UK back decades and ruining the prospects of the young and future generations in the country.

They could always be brave and go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the USA? And the really brave ones could chance their arm in the Far East/China or dare I say even India all who have or will have a bigger GDP than the EU in a year or two when It's biggest benefactor **cough** Great Britain leaves.

Most young people from teh UK go and study/work in other EU countries than anywhere else in the world. Several reasons for that, variety of languages/cultures in arelatively small region, close to home (UK) to visit family. Additionally, for Australia, NZ, US etc, you need to apply and be accepted for study/work visas. The EU provides a huge opportunities for study and career with zero paperwork and zero waiting, that's the beauty of it and that's what is being given up. Of course the selfish older Brits who aren't interested in that voted against all of that, probably through jealousy as they never had that opportunity themselves. Instead they take their spite out on teh younger British generations. For me that's not surprising, as it's one of the reasons I left the UK in the first place.
