    a few remain voters have switched sides

    I once met a left brexiteer who said, he voted Remain but now he sees that all the conservative politicians are voted out of their office because they can’t blame the EU anymore. So that’s a possible position as well.

    For context: This is a few years ago so he might have changed his opinion by now. Also, he lives in continental Europe (like me) so he’s less effected by the Brexit.

      There were quite a number of things we were told “we can’t do that because of the EU”. Then, it turned out, we could actually do them, and did pretty much immediately after the vote but before we’d left. Like blue passports.

          None whatsoever, just old people being nostalgic for the days when we had blue passports.

          They are such a dark blue that they are black really. I thought the burgundy ones looked smarter.

      For me some silver lining to Brexit was that majority of anti-EU voices straight up shut up for a ling while when they saw what a clusterfuck it wad. Kinda similar.
