    At the most recent poll, the majority (52%) wanted to stay in the EU so he won't be able to please them. That said, a majority of the population voted for Boris. Make of that what you can. Certainly polls showed as Brexit progressed, Brexiteers became more and more disillusioned. They realised the benefits were much less than promised and the price to pay much higher. However they got mesmerized by the right wing press in this country into thinking 'democracy' should be respected and they got so fed up with the pain and disconnect with their self delusion that they just wanted it over and done with, however damaging. They also were inclined to project this conflict onto the EU - it was the EU bully boys who were frustrating their silly dream, and they were not inclined to give into bullying.

    When the truth starts to emerge later on in the year (probably not until December because of Dom Cummings' brinkmanship) Brexiteers will be even more depressed but I don't see any mechanism by which this can be stopped. The Tories have packed the Commons with idiots who will gladly vote whatever they're told just to keep their cushy numbers.

    Brexit will roll on for years.

    But, as Original PM reminds us, let's be positive. At some point in the future we will re-join the EU, and hopefully get the economic boost we got the last time.

    You see, you're confusing liking a country with liking an organisation. I like Ireland. I like the West Coast of Scotland. Having worked in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland there are parts of those countries I like too.

    Would you like to find a single shred of evidence of me ever saying I hate the EU? I don't hate it, I just don't wish for the UK to be a part of it.
