However, since then I’ve come around far more to the Remain camp and would be strongly behind them if there was another Referendum today. The thing is though, there isn’t going to be one any time soon is there and I don’t think there should be - my attitude from the day the result was announced has been it’s not what I wanted, but we need to get on with it and make the best we can of Brexit.
What I would say though is that the likes of Farage and right wingers in the Conservative party were pushing for another ballot on membership of the EU for decades and eventually got their wish some forty odd years after we joined, so, unless the EU breaks up in the years to come, there are going to be a lot of Remainers who will be pushing for another vote on the grounds that if the Leave side managed to get one, why shouldn’t we? It’ll take some time (I’ll probably be long gone when it happens), but I think there will be another vote eventually and so there should be given the precedent set by David Cameron when he was PM.
