I think all you have done there is defined "will of the people". I am not convinced there is such a thing. A bit like referring to the colour of a salad.

It was the will of about 37% of people.

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 1 December 2025. The writer takes issue with simplistic "Brexit was the will of the people" arguments. Leaving the European Union continues to prove divisive amongst the UK nations, with the hardline version of Brexit chosen by the then Westminster Government not the will of all the people.

@yorkshirepost.co.uk letter takes issue with #Brexit 'will of the people' claims. Not the will of Scotland & Northern Ireland.

No super-majority expect for 'serious constitutional consequences.' Govt chosen hard #Brexit means ongoing tensions: "Will of Westminster, not all people". #RejoinEU #EU

1. The earth is not a closed system.
2 The core temperature is around 5500K. Two or three K increase at the surface would make an immeasurably small change to the heat flow outward from the core.

Ultimately, the decision to leave the EU was made by Parliament. When such decisions are found to be deleterious to national wellbeing, they are usually, eventually reversed by manifesto and Act of Parliament. That will be case with Brexit.

Just because some second-rate politician describes the glorified opinion poll, which was the EU Referendum, as "once in a lifetime" , it doesn't mean that it was.

One big thing weakening the Brexit debate is that many Remainers are still holding out for a grovelling apology from Leavers, and take every opportunity to mock their stupidity.

Even people who have changed their minds will push back HARD against being called stupid.

Play the ball not the players.

This is the elephant in the room that is so big nobody wants to go in there. If Labour was a people's party they would listen to the people then at the very least have an open and honest discussion with the electorate. Instead they are led by a 'deaf, dumb and blind' leadership led by Starmer.

If only the rancid rw media held the brexity bunch to the same standards they hound the current government with. There's accountability and then there's stark raving bonkers sweeping the brexshit mess under the rug with a 'nothing to see here' in all but flashing neon lights!

The budget and Covid have shown, for Chris, how far the UK is from getting out of its Brexit impasse.

Like my other posts today, that requires humility, clear-eyed acknowledgement of what this means, and being positive about Europe.

Far too many are not there.

Absolutely not. Referendums are far too easily manipulated by liars, unscrupulous social and main stream media, dodgy funding, and much else. All it needs is a major party to point out and condemn the guilty, and adopt a policy to start the rejoin process.

But UK membership to SM/CU/EU can't be a party political issue.

Until the English political right recovers its sanity and chooses to recognise economic facts: empirical reality: and objective truth again, Brexit stays and the UK will be outside the European Union.

Thx again for voicing the truth ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ.
Brexit was the biggest disaster we could have had.
Weโ€™re now the pariahs of Europe, international status has tanked, and weโ€™re largely irrelevant.
Yet some are so stupid (itโ€™s true) that theyโ€™d still vote for the architect of their countryโ€™s ruin: Farage.

Also: it's not just the Brexit deal that is a disaster. It's everything to do with Brexit.

The loss of FoM is catastrophic for UK business and every single UK passport holder, but politicians seem afraid to mention it.

Is that because of the media?

In a decade or so, Labour might consider dropping their insane Red Lines and fixing something.

Rejoining the EU, full fat rejoin with Freedom of Movement, Schengen, the Euro etc is the only way out of this horror story

29.11.2025 18:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 42    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not the Brexit deal. Brexit.

A truly terrible idea pushed through with prejudice and lies. A recipe for disaster. And thatโ€™s exactly what itโ€™s delivered. Damage in every sphere of our national lives.

Johnson must be prosecuted, along with others who gave contracts to their friends. Thousands of people lost their lives unnecessary because the PM and Cabinet members saw the pandemic as an opportunity to stuff their pockets with gold. The law applies to everyone.

The important thing is to point to those who did this. They are the ones to blame, not the vulnerable voters who were duped into believing their Brexit lies.
