I dont buy the argument that many people who voted Leave regret it .


Or else Remain would not be so weak in gather opposition and trying to stop Brexit.

Makes me think in the end its around 50 50 or so even still

That's heavily down to the way our democracy works in a general election (first past the post) versus the referendum. 

In the referendum it's a straight split, and there is some evidence from polls that the result may change if it was held now although it's always pretty close.

In a general election though, there are far more constituencies in England and Wales that voted to leave versus remain, especially when you leave the cities so the politicians who have seats in those areas have no choice but to support Leave to save their own careers (even if they support remaining in the EU). The one exception is Scotland but Labour have pretty much given up on getting back any seats in Scotland from the SNP.  

The other caveat is that the opposition leader is a closet Leave supporter albeit from a far-left perspective. 

 

 

The other thing is a person votes leave and changes thier mind, they do not become a Remain person either. 

 

They of course sympathize with leave ideas even still.
