The Big Brexit Debate: What does the UK really think?

As the Prime Minster tries to deliver a Brexit deal that works for the country as whole, we reveal what the British people think of the likely deal on offer.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
Channel 4 commissioned the largest independent survey of attitudes across the whole of the UK conducted since the referendum, asking 20,000 people drawn from every UK constituency for their views, and put the results to politicians and those who stand to gain, or lose, most from the outcome; all before a live studio audience.

[@kevinabbott3890]

The referendum came at a time of public disillusion in politics. The remain campaign, including the EU explained barely any benefits of membership. The leave campaign chose very emotive topics to campaign on. It was a perfect storm to get a leave vote. I genuinely believe years of governments blaming the EU for rules, no matter how sensible, led in part to the vote. But so did French farmers burning British livestock to death to prevent its import, or not trading British beef after it was declared safe following BSE, and failing to clear the Calais Jungle. And Germany holds a balance of trade surplus against EU rules but hasn't opened up all its insurance market to free trade. Nor do most EU ccountries pay their NATO commitment. That makes a mockery of the rhetoric 'you have to be in the club to get the benefits'. If that is the case almost all EU countries should be kicked out of NATO. There are so many contributing factors to Brexit, but resolution of just a few could have changed the vote. All European political leaders should look at their contribution to this vote. If they don't there will be more similar votes.

The referendum resulted in a simple majority of 51.9% being in favour of leaving the EU. It’s called democracy 17,410,742 51.89% Voted out of Sm and Cu and Eu and total return to control of laws etc The United Kingdom is due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019 at 11 p.m. Leaving both the Single market (Sm) and customs union (Cu) were part of the discussions leading up to the Uk vote over two years ago.

This is what Lord Paddy Ashdown said on a second referendum whilst the votes were being counted: “Here’s the single point: Those that asked for this and I was the first leader ever to ask for a referendum way back in 89/90, have said so because they believe it to be an act of democracy. I will forgive no one who does not accept the sovereign voice of the British people once it has spoken. Whether it’s by 1% or 20%, once they’ve taken it, it is our duty, as those who serve the public to make the best use and to make sure that our country does the best it can with the decision the people have given us. I’ve heard Mr Farage say tonight: ‘We’re coming back even if we lose’. Excuse me! He’s the person that complained about lack of democracy in Europe! If he will not accept the sovereign voice of the British people, whatever they say, then I think he does not have the national interest at heart.” (Lord Paddy Ashdown 24 June 2016)

Here is the reality of their survey. Timed to coincide with the so called 'Peoples' Vote' as if the original vote was not enacted by people. Also timed to coincide with a low point during negotiations. But worst of all, unforgivable, they only interviewed 20,086 people. Even compared to the 33.5 million who voted in the Brexit vote, it is totally laughable that this survey represents the "nation". In addition, they have not released the dataset with the questions other than a completely goofed up .xls from which little sense can be made. But from what I can gather, is the question "should we remain in the EU" was never asked. Instead there were various questions on the nature of a second vote, which is not the same. So even the conclusions they arrive at are plucked out of thin air. Worthless. .

@scotchprofessor The BBC gave him so much coverage because of controversial appeal. Political correctness dictates that immigration into the country should be rather relaxed, and to say so otherwise makes you a racist, or a xenophobe. These accusations of which the media likes to perpetuate make for great news coverage. Think about it, Farage generated a divisive, heated discussion which lead to a high amount of viewing numbers and audience participation via discussion on social media. Single-percentage support seems rather irrelevant to me as 3.9 million people voted for UKIP; there was a genuine fear that UKIP could potentially do much better than that, hence the media coverage.

When we voted in the 2016 referendum we weren't given the full picture. Since then we understand a lot more. The main players who encouraged the leave vote disappeared as soon as they could, those who continue to push for us to leave have an agenda which isn't in this country's favour. Theresa Mays idea of what we voted for is so skewed out of shape it's not recognisable from the original. Furthermore, she's tied the government in so many contradictory knots that are impossible to deliver she will be forced to accept the fact we will be remaining in the EU. Whatever the outcome one thing is clear, the British people now realise what an amoral, hypocritical, uncaring, self-serving bunch of lying toads MPs across all parties are and that there are no depths to which they will not plumb in order to remain in their positions. To top it all, this country's reputation has been driven through the mud from the whole Skripal poisoning saga and for that they should all be given their P45s.

[@Boxerman1986]

Britain is like that troubled child in a classroom that always wants to get its way, and if it doesn't, will become even more troubled. In fact, it becomes downright obnoxious. Previously on Desperate Britons: At one day little Tommy thought to himself that it had been enough. It consulted his parents and asked if it would be possible to be homeschooled. Daddy didn't even have to think for a sec and was in favour, but Mummy had her doubts. Finally, it was decided that homeschooling had to be better and so little Tommy was pulled out of school. Tommy was happy because he finally got everything he wanted, but knew very well that he had played its parents in such a way that he would definitely be pulled out of school. Neither Tommy nor his parents knew what homeschooling was going to be like, or had any idea how to do it, but at least Tommy had rid himself of that idiotic school and that annoying teacher Juncker. Of course, the school fees were paid annually and you had to hand in all the school materials the moment you'd leave and since it was only November, that was quite a bummer. Tommy and his parents hadn't really thought about that, and as a result Mummy started to doubt her decision even more. 'And wait a minute!', Mummy suddenly said, 'we both work all the time, work that also seems to become more every year. Who of us is actually going to teach our child?' Daddy was adamant and thought it was going to be fine, in fact he was convinced that it was even going to be WAY better. After all, they would be writing their own materials now and taught Tommy whatever, whenever, however they believed was best. Although the puzzled look on Daddy's face wasn't quite reassuring. Tommy shrewdly galvanised his parents even more by suggesting to fight the school's policies. He knew he needed the books and didn't quite trust his parents to properly provide for any alternatives. They were in serious dubio. As the story continues....

Nigel Farage found these independent voters, who slipped away from David Cameron's Conservative party. They are the same voters Margaret Thatcher found when she gave everyone the right to buy their council houses. They are not racists, they are self motivated, independant voters who will change their vote to suite their self interest.

[@pigofapilot1]

The problem that remainers do not understand is that democracy cannot operate across national borders because it is the 'national democratic right of self-determination by ballot'. Democracy came into being to prevent political strife, war and revolution and there has never been a war between two democracies worldwide because of the ballot-box. The remainers like to claim that the EU prevents war but that is not true; it is democracy that is preventing revolution and war. That is why we fought so hard for so long for democracy. The fact remains that if we remain in the EU without also giving up national democracy then we can still also leave the EU at any point in the future and that is why the EU strives to overcome democracy in favour of neoliberalism and authoritarianism. That is also why there is no national democracy within the EU. To remain is to sacrifice sovereignty and democracy to the EU commission. There has never been (nor ever will be) a referendum on the issue of sovereign democracy because the EU know that they would never get it past any electorate. So, authoritarianism rules a neoliberal EU which will (and does) overturn democracy at the stroke of a pen.
