Most Brits reckon Brexit has failed, new poll finds

Who could have seen this coming except every single semi informed person.

I feel like polls have been saying that since before Brexit was even finalised :') the only good I ever thought might come of Brexit was it might make things so bad in Britain that it might help spark some kind of revolution..

What was it actually supposed to accomplish? I mean, I'm an American who mostly followed the whole thing via UK chat and panel shows so I'm sure I missed a ton of detail, but I don't remember there being an over-arching goal, just a lot of little nebulous promises like somehow generating an extra 350 million a week for the NHS, but with no actual plan for how any of that was actually going to happen. It seemed like the whole point was to let xenophobic shit disturbers flick the Vs at Europe, and the vague notion that once Brexit was done it'd finally be open season on "those bloody immigrants."

Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage thinks Brexit has failed.

After months of lying to the British people, screwing over GB and becoming a meme, reactionary fuck Farage thinks he might have been wrong. But it gets better:

The former Brexit Party leader told the BBC in May that the U.K. had not benefited economically from leaving the bloc, blaming the ruling Conservatives for having “let us down very, very badly.”

So, no. He wasn't wrong. How could he ever be wrong?! Like a wise man with a funny voice once said: It wasn't me.

The majority of the pro-brexit voters main goal was to 'deport all them foreigners', which was impossible with freedom of movement. When brexit 'got done' and it turned out those brown people they saw at the doctor were actually third generation brits, but the nice white couple down the street were actually non-brits and were forced to leave, many changed their mind.

But the Tories and new-new labor won't even consider a re-vote. Heck, after 12 by-election losses, Tories won't even consider a general until statue forces them.

Technically, it didn't fail. It happened exactly the way anyone sane expected it to. That's why people said it's a stupid fucking idea.

Briturn when?

It surprises me that so many people think it didn't fail. Remainers, which as far as I can remember nearly made up 50%, will almost all think it has failed from the start because they see the whole Brexit as a failed idea. And many Brexiteers seemed to have very unrealistic ideas about Brexit, seemingly thinking that they could just boss the EU around and get everything their way. And because we don't live in their fairytale Brexit utopia world, they would always have been disappointed. Add to that the general incompetency of the Conservatives and it's honestly quite astounding that anyone still thinks it's going well.

Literally everyone saw this coming but they didn't listen. If only more of the people who wanted to remain went out to vote back then...

I knew since Day 1

Task failed successfully!

when you have to suffer for the slow learners.

It's has been truly bizarre watching that country commit to communal suicide even as an American. You out Murica'd America.

farage will never take responsibility for anything. absolute slug of a man.

I thought there was a LeopardsAteMyFace community in this server

But.... No takie backie?

That's why people should realise, every vote is precious. The point of democracy was that the majority vote makes the decision.

As an European who clearly was anti-Brexit and saw Britain leave with great sadness, what’s the point of these kind of polls or keep saying “Brexit failed!”?

I mean, yeah, it looks like it failed… are you going to do anything about it? Are you asking back in? You can’t take it back, can you?

I don’t know. At some point you need to admit that you screwed up, and move on. Yes, maybe post-Brexit UK is not ideal, but try to do the best you can in this situation and try to lessen the impact as much as you can, don’t you think?

I like Brits, you’re very smart. I think you’re capable enough to handle the situation and make the most out of it. The EU likes you. Nobody wanted you to leave. And even then, the EU wants you near. We can keep cooperating and we should try to have the best possible relationship. You are still a European country, even if you’re not part of the EU.

I hope we all can make things work. Cheers.

It's such a weird question because it presumes we agree there was a consensus goal.

I'm not a Britt, but that guy deserves some jail time for vote manipulation and all the loss that both UK and EU had because of the political shitshow called the Brexit.

The problem is that far too many people think there's a way to fix it. By getting rid of every single immigrant, for example.

The majority of people who are paying the price for Brexit are the ones who didn't vote for it...

The promises they printed on the double deckers certainly haven't come to pass.

Buuuuut tough shit. Too late.

Let me clarify, I am pro-EU, but also a UK expat.

Well I reckon

Frog-faced weirdo Nigel Farage: "HAW HAW! No takesies-backsies!"
(dances away into the sunset like a Terry Gilliam animation)

James Acaster's great analogy is always relevant here!

The stats don't lie.

Democracy is a lie. It cannot work under conservatism. It does not work within a capitalist economy. It does not work in a vertical hierarchy. People do not function as people in a vertical hierarchy. Of course Brexit failed, just like the British Empire, and just like every single political entity ever has and will fail. Even if they seem to succeed for a while, they will always fail, and they will always fail humanity.

Our socioeconomic structures are not so different from any other animal's. Though the answer is right there in front of us, our emotionally manipulated, fearful existences have trapped us in these ridiculous concepts and arguments.

If we want people to be human and not scared and trapped animals, we have to take away the thing that keeps us animalistic, which is the need to lean on something "greater" than ourselves.

All we currently seem to be are clusters of endless daddy issues; religion, nationalism, success, wealth, value: hierarchies of daddy issues.

So the UK should become part of the EU again. BUT the EU need to take away some veto rights, namely from France, Italy and even Germany.

For instance, France has been cockblocking a trade agreement with South America, citing "environmental concerns". Fact is it would introduce competition against some of Frances industries - effectively screwing European growth.

Maybe Schengen countries should step in to mediate the situation.
