Re: Seriously?

"brexit was what the people voted for."

I propose a new law. Anyone complaining about Brexit in an interview must start by stating which way they voted.

It's be interesting to see how many of the people complaining voted yes.

The problem seems to be that slightly under half voted no, but slightly more than half voted yes, but the yes votes were not necessarily for the Brexit the UK ended up with. Probably because anyone voting yes had their own ideas of what Brexit meant to them and it wasn't necessarily the same as the other yes voter standing next to them.

It's a bit like when a government ends up with a coalition which may or may not include the largest party. There are so many compromises that no one is happy with the result.
