#brexit #bregret #brexitToldYouSo

Hate to say I told you so
#Bregret #Brexit

Der kurze Moment populistischer Macht ist voller Freude und weicht immer der Erkenntnis, dass kaputt machen ohne besser machen nur Zerstörung und Leid hinterlässt.

Gilt in Großbritannien wie auch in Deutschland.

Behr's podcast a firm favourite with me.

From #Brexit to #Bregret: the funding crisis facing #Cymru

Anyone proclaiming that polls suggesting a majority now think #brexit was an error means a campaign to #rejoinEU or anything approaching would be a good move for #labour should take a listen to #podcast #PoiliticsOnTheCouch by #rafaelBehr - in the latest episode on #bregret with #professorAnandMenon they make the electoral calculations for #labour pretty clear

Just because I dearly want something to be true does not make it so...... #bregret

#Bregret: “The longer British politicians take to recognize the great waste of #Brexit and find remedies, the more instability is likely to last in Europe's oldest democracy”

If you're expecting something insightful on the 3 year anniversary of Britain exiting the E.U., forget it. We've been telling you for 3 years now. There's only so many ways of saying it.

It was dumb.

Three years on from #Brexit, all #UK voters are left with is a bitter taste of #Bregret

According to @unherd@twitter.com, the majority of the electorate in my constituency, @wealdendistrict@twitter.com, now think Britain was wrong to leave the #EU.

Quite the turnaround, eh? Seems nobody has spotted the sunlit uplands we were promised.

Aka #Bregret

"The sad and cruel truth is that strategic blunders as colossal as Brexit can’t be corrected easily or swiftly. Some mistakes have to be paid for over many years. This, alas, is the UK’s fate. Not a golden age, but ages of regret."
Have a nice day. #Brexit #Bregret

[Truth to Power] shows how France 24 covers the role of Brexit in contributing to the collapse of the UK economy/healthcare/labour rights etc in ways that the UK media refuses to cover

I wrote a few threads based on my #research on #Brexit. This is a means of an #introduction. I am a Prof of @economics at Warwick Uni.

1) Did #austerity cause #Brexit? Short answer: yes.

2) #Bregret is NOT a recent phenomena:
https://econtwitter.net/@fetzert/109620674622942032

3) Why is the #PennyDropping on so many #Leave voters or #Brexit implementation supporters that voted #Remain?
https://econtwitter.net/@fetzert/109654869027130379

4) Have dodgy #OpinionPoll's shaped the electorate in 2016?
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2019/10/29/long-read-are-opinion-polls-pro-leave-biased/

I wonder if the answer to that question is 'Bregret'.

Fact 1: #Bregret is not a new thing. It has been a feature of the data for a long time. But: the data was misread by many political commentators, political scientists and media.

Already in 2018, much of the #austerity #Brexit protest vote had crumbled

Après le #Brexit, le #Bregret : deux ans après, ces Britanniques regrettent l’Union européenne https://www.ouest-france.fr/leditiondusoir/2023-01-02/apres-le-brexit-le-bregret-deux-ans-apres-ces-britanniques-regrettent-l-union-europeenne-04c15f5b-aa60-4c33-91de-59687671a970

You know, I'm beginning to get the feeling that this whole Brexit thing wasn't the brightest idea ever.

#Brexit #Bregret

Now there is this interesting group of #Leave voters who disproportionately express #Regret #Bregret among those who did not expect #Leave to win (i.e. those that thought chances of Leave victory were low).

My interpretation is that these are basically people who thought "their vote doesnt matter" but "wanted to send a message".

Some would call this a good definition of a #protestvote.

If this group had not voted or not "protested", #Remain would have won.

Its the "ridiculous" #Brexit.

This is: they asked the voters their expectation of a #Leave victory. We can break this down by those that actually voted for #Leave by deciles. That is plotted on the vertical axis here.

So in the first decile means 10% of #Leave voters thought the chance of #Leave winning was less than 20% (horizontal axis).

This is data from Wave 7/8.

Now the same people (because I care about switchers) were asked in later waves about #Bregret.
