Went to school in a Leave area, and have honestly not seen a single person on Facebook change their mind since voting. A second referendum could easily deliver a bigger majority for Leave.

I remember prof John Curtis saying that very few people have changed their minds but that demographic changes and turnout will be the factors that could deliver a different outcome. It all depends on the question too, I guess?

also what about if people actually told the truth in the pitch to the public, maybe people would think differently at the ballot box (i realise this is the stuff of a madman/idiot's dream)

Yeah, that’s the factor you can’t control. I think turnout will be key, and remain have to focus on a very clear campaign that states very obviously how you will individually be better off in than out, rather than anything about the history of the EU as an institution.

We in Ireland are more used to referendums, but even so there is always a strong urge with many ppl to give the gvt of the day a good kicking, an "I'll show you" kinda thing. Then they wake up and find everyone else has done the same and are appalled. BUT won't admit publically!!

I know a few people who voted leave largely as a general symbolic protest against politicians then were unpleasantly shocked to find leave won. The dramatic rise of people suddenly asking what leaving EU meant only *after* the vote belies a certain panicky regret I feel.

People have a lot to be disgruntled about. Remain can't mean "back to the status quo". The Leave campaign promised real change and remain needs to keep that central; and that Brexit is preventing the change we need. I really like the remain plus idea: https://endthechaos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Remain_Plus_Document.pdf …

Hmm. I like the concept if not the execution of the document - totally agree we need a better offer and very on board with framing it as a New Deal for schools, jobs, the NHS. Akin to the US Green New Deal, but for the economy, fighting austerity & regional industrial decline.

It that saying that the EU needs to offer the UK more in a deal?

Possibly, I was thinking more UK Parliament accepting that we could reconfigure our economy away from a Londoncentric economy reliant on financial industries and privileging the south of England and ignoring old industrial areas.

Why not maintain the City while diverting funding from it into places the North? My concern is that Labour (in particular) haven't laid out what they're capable of reovering in the Industrial North without a cost/benefit analysis.
