    14. There is no option to partake in either the Customs Union or the Single Market without EU membership. And that is simply, not going to happen.

    1. It only shocked people who presumed we would stay in the EU. Basically, the naïve. It did not shock me, for example.
    2. The margin was not "narrow". The remain vote would have had to increase its vote share by 7.86% merely to match the leave vote.

    12. The UK does not do "runner up, second bite of the cherry" referenda.

    7. "More people would vote to rejoin the EU than stay out".
    OK. Where to begin?
    There is *no such thing" as "rejoin the EU". There is ONLY article 49. THE accession process. And that means Euro, schengen, EU foreign policy, CAP, CFP, SU, CU, ECJ, ECB and all the rest of the alphabet soup.
    And nobody will vote to "stay out" because we already ARE out.

      In the last election I think it was only 8% of people mentioned Brexit as a major issue (top 16), and only 2% as the most important issue. It's an irrelevance to most people.

      @@Lawrence4000-s3k Sounds about right.
      But that won't stop "rejoiners" from crowing about their fictitious "65%".
      Anti brexiters are the worst kind of propagandists. Their lies are so blatant that only in their own ranks are the given any credibility.

    8. The UK has a debt of 103% GDP and that is rising.
    The EU Copenhagen criteria set the bar at 60% of GDP. It would take DECADES of sustained economic growth to get anywhere near the Copenhagen criteria. I am talking about FIVE DECADES just to have a chance.
    So stop peddling this utter TWADDLE.

    10. "Should the UK "rejoin" the EU"?
    It can't. So forget it.

    3. The question on the ballot was
    SHOULD the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
    REMAIN a member of the European Union
    LEAVE the European Union
    It is typical remoaner "logic" to try to turn that into a vote about ANYTHING ELSE.

      It was an extraordinary arrogance of the losers to try and reframe what success meant. They constantly go on about dubious economic losses (based on some weird synthetic counterfactual doppleganger methodology) and rarely talk about actual data (which shows almost nothing).
      Brexit is a success because we have a parliament accountable to the British people.

    15. Keir Starmer has made it clear that EU membership will not be achievable in his LIFETIME. He has said that publicly.

    4. "White working class voters"? What is THAT supposed to mean?

    13. The UK does not think we are "an island unto ourselves". What we do not think is that we are a *vassal* of a *federalising mostrosity.*
