EU Referendum, would you change your vote?

[Berberis]

There has been many references in the media to people wishing to change their vote in the past referendum, with some interviewed stating how they voted to leave the EU thinking the UK would in fact stay, in effect registering a protest vote. Some of these people now regret their decision to vote Leave and the media have coined the verbs "Bregret" or "Regrexit". Is this just a media none story or is there a sizable number of people who would change their mind given a second chance?

 

Did you vote to leave the EU but now regret your decision? Or did you vote to remain but would have voted to Leave?

Ask a mod to have a poll included in this this thread.

 

I wouldn't change my vote. I'd vote leave again.

Alan, I was being slow at creating the poll. Its up there now.

A poll would be interesting - as I see the media comments but don't personally know anyone who has admitted voter remorse

 

Personally voted to stay, would again

A Newsnight poll said 5% who voted Brexit would now vote remain.

2% of Remainers would now vote Brexit.

 

The edition aired last week. I think the poll was about 1000 people but can't be certain.

 

Extrapolating that, Brexit would still win by 175,000 votes.

I prefer and trust the poll last week of 40 odd million people more.

Well the Leave campaign has reneged on their pledge to give the £350 million to the NHS already.
