>The voters of Britain made their choice and now they must deal with the consequences as best they can. I get why I've seen this sort of comment for the last 7 years but I dislike the idea that Brexit was a unaminous decision when when Leave got ~52% of the vote share. --- I don't know what else I can really say. I resent the political elite and news sector for turning what ought to have been a serious discussion into an energised hellscape that made us all belligerent arses. A ~4% vote margin felt rather middling for what was championed as a total victory and casus belli for immediately pulling us out of everything EU – and then everything after became omnishambles. And then despite all of this, no-one had any solid unified idea on what leaving actually meant. Some folks wanted to stay in the customs union, the common market, a good contingent wanted us to leave without any deal with the EU for... Reasons? No-one really sat down and seriously discussed it, which was why it was a surprise when the prospect of leaving Euratom and losing encryped access to the Galileo Satellite System[1] eventually came up. Now for the voters going for Boris Johnson's Conservatives in 2019? People were absolutely fed up of the years of political deadlock and dither, especially after the EU extended the Article 15 period which was promptly wasted. Johnson's pledge to get it over with was what vast swathes of the coutnry wanted to hear (alongside the opposition leader at the time being unpopular), and unfortunately that was tied to everything else his premiership brought. ... God, I haven't thought about Brexit in years. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44232269 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44232269
