The Economist has a chart (HERE) from a serious survey of 10,000 people showing that 6% of leavers now regret their vote compared to 1% or remainers. This means if a new vote was held tomorrow, remain would win (HERE)
Meanwhile, inflation figures out yesterday show a sharp increase to 1.0% (from 0.6%) in the last quarter. Much of this is being blamed on Brexit (HERE) with people admitting there is more to come with 3% being the likely figure for the middle of 2017. It is those at the bottom who will be most affected, as food and clothing prices increase. In other words those who were more likely to have voted leave. People are more pessimistic about the future (HERE).
I wonder how opinion will change when the impact of the decision becomes ever clearer? If Article 50 is not triggered before March it may never be triggered. It is a race to see if reality prevails in the cabinet before or after Article 50 is set in motion. As remainers warnings are shown to be true, while leave arguments are obviously wrong opinion will change quickly.
