I doubt many who voted out had any idea just how long it might
take to get to their 'brave new world' where the UK does well trading
with the rest of the world. While going downhill in the interim.

You can thank your new best friend May for doing precisely
that. She's obviously in no hurry to leave, regardless of the
cost the needlessly prolonged uncertainty will incur.

Bet she is attempting to make leaving as bad as possible,
hoping that the majority will change their mind so Britain
doesnt Leave. That isnt going to happen, but that is what
she is doing.

They already have, at least in Wales,

We'll see...

where an opinion poll two weeks after (or was it one week, I forget and
haven't got time to look it up now as I'm fixing the washine machine, see
other thread here..) showed the 52.5% Leave victory had been exchanged for
a 52% Remain.

But given that the only thing that has happened in that time
is that the pound has sagged a bit and the result of the referendum
is now known, that poll result is very dubious indeed given how
hopeless the polls were at predicting the actual referendum result.

Which of course shows the absurdity of using a highly marginal "opinion
poll" (a referendum, a snap-shot of public opinion) for an almost
irreversible decision....hey ho.

Not it does not. And have fun suggesting a better approach anyway.
