Do you agree with the UK’s Brexit decision to withdraw from the European Union?
On June 23rd 2016 UK voters approved the EU membership referendum 51.89% - 48.11%. The referendum resulted in a vote for the EU to leave the UK. A majority of voters in the England and Wales voted to leave while a majority of voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay. Proponents of the exit argued that EU membership undermined the UK's sovereignty and leaving would help the UK control immigration. Opponents of the exit argue that leaving the EU would damage trade, cause unemployment and harm foreign investment.

Stop 90% of foreigners from entering the uk. The people are tired of it and would also love to ban Islam at any cost. Further permitting the free parading of Islam and the laid back migration process will inevitably result in a cultural meltdown.
@5D2TR3B3yrs3Y
No but only because of the way the campaign popularised racism
@5N5RY263yrs3Y
Yes to having our own laws recognised but NO to destroying our cordial relationships with our European cousins. Recognition for us living on an island with limited physical resources by the europeans would have gone a long way to have knocked the whole leave/stay malarky on its head. Living on the continent seems to make it impossible for them to understand the islander mentality after all they can just move/get things from/to new areas whilst we fall into the sea! (effectively we live in a cage whilst they are free---result different mindsets/different attitudes/different ways of dealing with life/different priorities)
@99XXHM71yr1Y
@8TPW69D3yrs3Y
No, and renegotiate the system of the EU to provide for greater transparency and democracy.
@8V46V5S3yrs3Y
Yes, but maintain free movement as opposed to free trade
@98D48X31yr1Y
I do not agree with the EU's neo-liberal agenda, but nor do I believe free movement should have been ended.
@98623V21yr1Y
No, but push for change in how the European union is run
@93Z44L52yrs2Y
I'd rather remain in the EU.
@98HB4RG1yr1Y
I Voted Yes to leave the EU, but. Because the Government lied and feed us false information we as a country didn't have the facts to be able to make this decision.
@98DHV231yr1Y
My ideas believed in the either adopt their currency, to be properly invested within the union or leave.
@9LQ5Y7W5 days5D
I agreed at the time but the country has deteriorated and funds previously paid into the eu do not seem to be put back into the country like expected
@9LN5Q2M1wk1W
Yes but not for reasons of immigration but rather to build a society that is not run solely by big businesses and profit
Create London and Manchester and major Remain-voting cities into pro-EU zones. No one who voted to Leave can stay there.
@9LK7HC32wks2W
Yes as a means of stopping a capitalist conglomerate force but no because the decision has emboldened fascists
@9LK5MVY2wks2W
It doesn’t matter my opinion, it’s a democratic decision that has been made and it would be embarrassing and a slap to democracy to revote
@9LJ874T2wks2W
I agreed with Brexit at the time, however due to the way in which it was handled which was partly down to the non brexit voting community voice, I believe now that it was a waste of time and resources and it started paving the way for dividing the country.
@9LGNKCQCount Binface2wks2W
No but the decision is made now so we must progress forward in the most sensible way with the deal we have made for the nation
@9LD4YMB3wks3W
it’s complicated , I like some elements in terms of more independence as a nation but I don’t like the increase of powers now available to our governments.
@9LBR29N3wks3W
Yes but the way it’s been implemented has not been ideal. More people in government should back it rather than fight it.
@9LBGR7Q3wks3W
I agree with it in the sense that we had a referendum and we honoured the result. I don’t think we should have had a referendum on it in the first place. People are barely politically educated.
@9L7QLCQ4wks4W
That depends on a lot of factors. I don't think we should of joined in the first place. It was too expensive. But we did have protection with our human rights. With this government and giving away peerages, they have a clear run, being set up, to reduce peoples human rights. That is the only reason I want to be part of Europe, alone with the pathetic, disorganised and short sighted deal we have now, leaving many shelves empty in the supermarkets.
@9L6PQQW4wks4W
Brexit was a lie.if we came out and were going to be a self regulated country,all would of been good.but these trade deals with other countries are destroying the UK.
@9L2TP8W1mo1MO
Doesn't matter whether I agree with it; A democratic vote was held and there was a result chosen. Even if one side lied through their teeth to get the result they wanted
@9KX7M5L1mo1MO
Not really, but if that’s what the majority voted then we should accept it. Maybe in 20 years or so we’ll see how this country is. But for the mean time I don’t think it’s right that we overturn the verdict of democracy.
@9KV7QKD1mo1MO
I was happy to support it but I’ve seen none of the benefits that were sold to us so in its current state No.
@9KS28KJ2mos2MO
We were ill informed during the campaign which I feel affected the vote to leave so another referendum should be held.
No we should not leave the EU in the first place but maintain a single market agreement like Switzerland.
@9KNPX4L2mos2MO
We should have left it till the next election to see if we wanted to leave and if we did we should have tried to aim more for a model similar to Norway so to not diminish our trade but keep our borders safe
@9KFH6MS 2mos2MO
Britain can better unionise outside of the EU, by not tying us to The Western Free Market we can more easily dissolve the current system of government that plagues the working people
@9KDT86G2mos2MO
It should be done but we needed to wait another 20 years to properly tackle present issues and build up more industry independence, to be better insulated from global shocks.
@9KBW6L42mos2MO
No I didn't agree but now it has happened we should get on with things but still keep links with the EU
@9K7T3642mos2MO
Yes, the EU is a very good economic institution but supports Zionist apartheid and I'm glad we left looking back.
@9K7SHRK 2mos2MO
Yes but I think the timing was poor with the pandemic and new negotiations need to be made as a result
@9K4CKTY2mos2MO
No, but now that it is done, we should let the EU centralize into a federal superpower, we would only interfere. We should play the middleman between US/NA and EU when the time comes.
@9JXW5HG2mos2MO
No, but only because British life outside the EU is even more oppressive than within it - the EU is not a panacea.
@5ZYN8CZ 2mos2MO
No, but now that it's done. the UK has to adapt. For example, the UK should attempt to join the European economic area or sign another similar treaty to boost the economy.
@9JTCVMS3mos3MO
There should have been previous insurances for the split and just all round better negotiation before we showed our hand in intent of leaving crushing our chances of a strong point in negotiation to a bagger asking for trade and foreign policy
@9JRXCVF3mos3MO
made economics worse, but allowed for us to deal with covid-19 much more efficiently. so overall yes
@9JNGGBD3mos3MO
I would have not have voted to ever join, but it is a bad idea to leave so abruptly once as integrated as Britain was.
@9JNDWFH3mos3MO
They were supposed to deal with immigration but it is still a problem, David Cameron said he would support the UK whether it stayed or left the EU: and he resigned, Great Britain is no longer great due to incompetent fools that run the government
@9J7D9CD3mos3MO
The desision has been taken and it is more beneficial to negotiate new trade deals rather than try to renegotiate with the EU
@9J49RVN3mos3MO
No, but renegotiate multiple things, to make it advantageous for us to be in the EU (though also obviously advantageous for the EU as well).
@9HX5TLM4mos4MO
This question stupid know more!!! Can’t be summed up with these answers it’s looking for uneducated people
@9HWFSLG4mos4MO
Yes, but focus on keeping our borders closed to illegal migrants and focus on our own country rather than others.
@9HVWNHK4mos4MO
Yes, but should have been softer brexit. No one necessarily voted for the hardest stance that uk took.
@9HVFNZ54mos4MO
No, Brexit damaged the UK economy, but I wouldn't want the UK to use the Euro currency if we rejoin.
@9HV6H7T4mos4MO
I voted remain, recognizing that the EU needs major reform that would only be achievable with the UK on the inside, but did not think Brexit would be a disaster. However I did not trust the politicians to make a success of it. Now we need to move on.
@9HRC7Q74mos4MO
No I respect the acknowledgement that the EU central powers have expanded and are impeding on member states local laws and affairs but the benefits from access to the EU rewarded and grew British economy and we lost that under Brexit
