I have met many people who voted leave and have since regretted it but I don’t think I have met anyone who voted remain and is now convinced by subsequent events that leave were right all along.
Had it actually been a properly run constitutional referendum, the Leave vote of 37% would have lost. 63% didn't vote to change the status quo. Public service union strike ballots have to be conducted to that standard.
Parliament decided, firstly, to remove the super-majority requirement on the basis that the vote was only advisory. Then Parliament decided to interpret the result as if it were an opinion poll or lottery - excluding the rights of the 28% who didn't or couldn't vote.
Seems to me it wasn't just Boris Johnson who thought Brexit would be an opportunity for career advancement.
