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.
@5D2TR3B4yrs4Y
No but only because of the way the campaign popularised racism
@5N5RY264yrs4Y
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)

No, the UK has always been culturally, politically and economically tied with Europe, and the choice to leave the EU has negatively impacted both our economy and diplomatic relations with Europe, whilst creating division in the West that has been exploited by Russia and right-wing extremists across Europe. However, the EU is not perfect, and a better alternative to either outright leaving or outright remaining would be to have reformed the EU so as to consider the needs of individual countries in addition to the needs of the overall Union.
@9TQ7Q562mos2MO
No, it was a no-deal pushed by UKIP despite having no seats. It has damaged both the economy and reputation of the country.
@9P4XXRT5mos5MO
There should have been no referendum. I voted remain but do not think rejoining is sensible at this point.
@9NFSGBV6mos6MO
Yes because it was voted for, but it was a bit of a pass the buck exercise from the government so they could remain blameless. Overall I think leaving the EU has crippled the economy and taken away any leg we had to stand on when negotiating trade deals.
