I'd have more respect for Brexiteers if they just said they wanted autonomy regardless of the economic implications. It's at least a coherent position. Reminds

  And some do have that position. I think I 100% agree with you, people should own their opinions and ideas. Usually when they don't, it's because it's ideas they didn't built but still hold tight, for the only reason that someone they like said it on TV/YouTube.

  They did say that!

    Some did, some didn't. I have seen interviews with many Brexit voters who said they would not have voted if they had known it would effect them economically in this or that way. So that's not owning it.

      The people showing you those interviews have a massive agenda though. Was it BBC? C4? They search for such people until they find them. Some of them might even be fake, the BBC admitted recently to showing fake footage of a Trump speech and if they're willing to do that they're definitely willing to fake other stuff. Look at gdp numbers or other economic stats. British voters aren't worse off because of brexit. They're told they are and probably some of them believe it, but it's not true, you can see that in the data. Anyway during the campaign Remain politicians said there would be economic impact. Leave said it won't be as bad as is claimed (they were right), but even if there is an impact it's worth it to regain control over other things. That was their argument. In a vote with 30 million+ voters you can find people who will say anything, but there was no way anyone could miss that message.
