I’ve a confession to make. Post-referendum I didn’t care that much if we left the EU - it’s nowhere near perfect. Now I realise the damage it will cause. Some will be short-term, hitting the poorest hardest, some, in terms of global status, we will never completely recover from.

Unbelievable that a person of your background and education would not be aware of the implications prior to the referendum. You somewhat sum up the absurdity of it all - ignorance, complacency, realisation, panic and resignation.

Unbelievable that people like you appear unable to read. It’s says “post-referendum”. Before the referendum I campaigned to Remain. I voted Remain. But both sides mounted such a dreadful campaign I reluctantly accepted the result. There is too much heat & not enough light.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but the Academic discussion on potential impact of leaving EU in various ways was out there & not administered by Remain campaign. Problems on e.g. WTO, GFA, implications on Finance & Banking or supply chains. It shouldn't be new for you.

Doesn't change the fact that it was known and researched, it was out there. So the point is rather that you as a person didn't know. Why did you campaign on something before engaging with it?

We still don’t know what the consequences are going to be. It’s an emerging picture.

Well, as far as I can see that a good chunk of consequences are well investigated. They might not give you exact details but on legal, economic and political implications it should be reasonably clear what the options and which results you can expect.

By the way, I know that MPs don't have the time to dig into details, but this matter'll shape the decades to come & nearly every policy area. For me it looks like that most people spend just little time on it, even the ones who are supposedly well informed given their positions.

Should have checked it beforehand ;). But politicians and MPs are in this case used synonymous.
