Given Brexit was all about racists doing the racism, I feel triggered by the term "foreign".

But the need to press a button is too strong.

The only Leave voters I've met who regret their vote are the ones that assumed remain would win but wanted to "shake things up", or the like. The polls hardly show any change either, but a lot of the people I speak to in other EU countries seem to think Leavers Remorse is widespread.

Have to say I really liked option 5 and wondered if because I have Welsh blood floating through my veins I could vote for it...
Having said such, sanity prevailed and I pressed the correct button..

I haven't met anyone who will admit to having got it wrong the first time, which I find slightly troubling now the extent of the disaster looming for us all is known

Jez and Jacob Rees Mogg have said it will be grand, no need to worry.

I was a bit curious because a few of the more pro Brexit posters on CW had begun to express some real concerns. Though it looks like with the benefit of hindsight CW has held to its guns.

It’s interesting. I think when dealing with passionate subjects like this, there’s a tendency to double down and close yourself to new developments because if you change your mind, people are afraid that it may seem seem like maybe they were foolish before, or it’s somehow a sign of weakness. And they don’t want the “I told you so”. Happens with all sorts of decisions people make. There’s some good literature on this.

There is also a tendency for people to be very quick to turn on themselves too - especially if the mainstream opinion changes. If everyone around you starts admitting they were wrong and misinformed about an earlier stance, it becomes harder for you to maintain that you still believe it was the right call.

I think it's right that quite a few who, itbt, were voting for a hard brexit are now more supportive of the idea of a soft brexit so to that extent I think there has been a change
