I think if you went and found the latest polling you’ll find trust is all but nonexistent for them now anyways and a huge amount that voted to leave would change their vote if it was held again tomorrow.
Don’t know where I saw these but it was one of the big English papers. Times or guardian

It remained in favor of leaving until around October of last year, and then slowly shifted. It wasn’t until the last month or so that opposition to Brexit became a consistent, demonstrated majority....and even then, not by a huge margin. More important is the intensity gap, with Brexit supporters mostly tepid and opposers strongly opposed.
The trend hasn’t abated, so we could eventually reach a point where a public referendum that is not supported by the public is being enacted.

I wouldn’t say tepid at all. Those I know In the uk that voted for leave have been growing angrier over the past year. They feel lied to and mislead and with the constant resignantions of ministers and those that pushed for it its getting louder. They were sold a bunch of bullshit and now they don’t want it. Tough shit In a way but the never ending shit show it’s become will see nobody happy if it ever does come to a conclusion.

The EU is now talking about dealing with migrants, so maybe this didn't happen in a vacuum? If member states talked about how to restrict migrants to asylum in the country of entry back when Brexit was voted on, would it have passed?
Schengen open borders was only ever intended for EU citizens, and its a shame it has taken this long for Germany et al to figure that out.

Did you see his completely nonsensical surprise press conference this morning?
He doesn’t know what brexit is. He thinks it’s somethibg to do with the electoral college. And he has beautiful properties in Scotland and Ireland. Which isn’t the uk.
The man is either truly an idiot or playing an Oscar worthy role as one

Actually there’s a telling moment I cannot that monlogue. Where he says I guess the people voted for it so it should happen / but I guess it’s going to go another way
The public by 50% to 40% support a referendum asking the public to choose between leaving the EU with the deal suggested by the government, leaving the EU without a deal, and not leaving the EU - 10% answered don't know
This would be a wild vote. Preference polling has shown that when those three choices are offered together, ‘remain’ is the front runner by, like, a lot:

there is a chance there could be another referendum and they stay in

Well, if the EU recognizes that open borders only was supposed to apply to EU citizens, then I'm pretty sure most would be okay with that. Also, maybe knock it off with the cinnamon bun regulations. Unless your end goal is Franco-German dominance, why make the EU anything more than NAFTA-esque free trade + open borders?
