If the EU had made reforms re migration controls, no more new member states, no more expansionism (if that is a word) - then I would be a definite remainer. The problem being there was no status quo option. We were in the EU and it's moving in a direction that I dont want to be part of. So didnt want remain for those reasons, and didnt want Leave for the reasons that are currently being played out.
Add on top of that we have an EU commission that can never be voted out or in.
As it stands though - we voted leave, we are leaving, so we need to make the most of it. There are benefits (albeit distant ones) and a load red tape that eurocrats just love. Cameron should never have held it in the first place, although I think it would have happened at some stage. Most of Parliament is remain - ironically apart from Corbyn / McDonnell & Co who are closet outers.
What about yourself ?
