However the more time goes on the more such a move for the country becomes clear to be a disasterous course which will in the short to medium term cost the country dearly in jobs and wealth,the long term is a complete unknown for anyone and no one can foresee it.
Why is it brexit supporters can't see that,why can't they formulate a compelling argument for leave without resorting to jingoism and untruths?
Why do they continually bang on about sovereignty when the UK already has sovereignty?
Why do think the WTO will welcome the UK with open arms when we've been blocked from joining before we start negotiations?
Why do they think we are better off on our own as a nation?
Why do they think the UK is still a world force?
That's fine and you get your vote, which I assume that you bothered to use.
Everybody else gets their vote to equally use just as they want.
If you dont like the way that they voted, it isnt really their problem and they dont have to justify it to you, on your terms for your approval.
So you think there's no room for persuasion? It's apparent that we have a divided nation over this issue and that's not a good thing. Don't you think it might be beneficial if the leave side were to present, as R2 says,' good argument and facts that brexit is a good and positive course of action for the country' to try and heal the division?
To say that more people want something than don't isn't, on it's own, a valid argument for it's acceptance by all.
