As an Englishman I hate Brexit. I don't know many people who ever wanted it (it tends to be the older generation). There's two big things for me: 1. The debate on the BBC etc. focused on the economy, sovereignty, and immigration. Nobody even addressed diplomacy - that unity leads to peace and better relationships. 2. A lot of the coverage was on the personalities. Boris Johnson in particular. There was no equal calibre spokesperson for remain. Most people don't remember who was the face of remain. It's because David Cameron (the most natural spokesperson for remain at the time) didn't want the optics of a fractured Tory party. So it's incredibly unsurprising to me that most people regret Brexit. I think frankly this was true even the day after (remain was the presumed winner and a lot of people regretted not voting). One last point here: if the referendum was to stay, there would have been more referendums every few years. But it gets 51% or whatever it was and that's the final word on it? Absolute disaster.
