There was a study on Bregret (don't know where to find it, but I remember) that showed that some regretted voting leave, but not enough to change the outcome. And some that voted remain also regretted their vote. This Bregret thing is mostly bullshit. The country was split, half was against, half in favor. That doesn't change for most people overnight. A few that do change their opinion (and that is only natural) there blown out of proportion. But the protest against Brexit is organized among the people who where against it in the first place.

I assume with Trump is the same thing. Less than half of the voters voted for him. More voted for Hillary. And maybe some regretting voting for him, as some regret voting for Clinton. But that doesn't change anything. The lead in the deciding states was big enouh, much bigger than Bushs in Florida over Gore. So some people changing their opinion isn't relevant.

That's what I've found. According to them, the majority of people are now against the brexit.

OK, so with more time more people changed their opinion. That's not surprising. If that wouldn't happen, the government that was elected in one election wouldn't be able to lose in the next. What's the big deal? I regretted some votes in the past, because the politicians didn't do what I expected of them. I never thought about it being thread-worthy. I couldn't vote for Obama (because I'm german), but I was excited for him. Now I deeply sorry about that, because he didn't bring more peace as I expected, on the contrary. So, what is different about Brexit and Trump, that these normal processes do excite so much response?
