In about 2030 the number of remainers will outnumber those who wanted to exit. It seems that there will be a great deal to rigmarole to sort out the country, assuming it has gone to the dogs and we haven't managed to sort out immigration.
Mind you it also depends on the size of the EU at the time. Maybe we can increase our trade route with the US and even take on their laws?

Marshwarble, You appear to be saying, "lets drive our car off this cliff and if it is a wrecked, a mechanic might be able to mend it afterwards. " It is better to avoid the accident in the first place. Sometimes you ignore the SatNav.

Rubs hands. Care to explain what you mean when you say,
'In about 2030 the number of remainers will outnumber those who wanted to exit.'?
We brexiters will mostly be dead and the young remainers will still not have grown up.
Yes, I'd like to see the logic behind your assumed 'remainers' growth and why another referendum would be held.
Now, now, brother Jackdaw, let mw do their own digging.
How do you knot the remainers will outnumber the brexiters?
surely in fifteen years time we'll all be wallowing in our new found riches and the remainers will be no more?


Marshwarble,

We don't have any choice at the moment, Gromit.
Don't want to answer the question put to you? Wonder why that would be.
In 15 years time we will have (normal res session notwithstanding) a far superior economy, better border controls, better democracy than Europe. The EU will have imploded and/or we and the rest of the world will see how corrupt and inept it is.

After 15 years of better relations with the rest of the world the Remainers will realise they were wrong.

Sensible people will see the benefit of working with the EU is it is the right thing to do and not be dragged down by it.

However I hope that on 15 years time the EU will have got it's act together and become properly democratic and will work better because of being forced to be by our exit.
I've always felt at least 25 years, maybe 35 years, before asking the same question again. But in 15 either the EU won't exist, at least in it's present form, or the UK public will have been betrayed and the public used to the new mess created by a remain leader.
Very strange BA.

A better analogy would be getting someone to 'pimp your ride' then wondering if you can let someone loose on it with a sledgehammer later.
the EU will have collapsed by then marsh.

I think if it's going it may take more than 15 years. But there will no point joining, I suspect. We'd probably taken on their laws in any case.
It's odd how certain Leave supporters are about the future that awaits us -- in particular in describing it as "better" than an alternative that can never be truly tested. Who's to say, now, which was truly better? In 15 years or so, after a vote last week that had gone the other way, would the Leave voters have been so confident in saying "I told you so"? Well, perhaps they would have, but it would have been equally misplaced.

We'll have to make do with the future we've got now, and it may not be too bad in the end, but better? Possibly -- but we'll never know.

You can be fairly certain of inertia, jim!
Quite right, jim, nobody knows what the future will bring.
I would have pointed the finger at the remainers, if say in the future the EU demanded we bail out all the failing banks in Europe or announced compulsory immigrant quotas, etc, etc.
As you'll have the same opportunity when and if Brexit causes future problems.
What I wouldn't have done, is stamp my big foot and had a hissy fit over the result. Some of you guys have used up all your indignation allowance on nothing.
Oh, and I'm still waiting for an explanation of the OP?
