Yes, I would agree with you. I do however travel to the UK a lot on business outside London and anecdotally nearly all of the country folk I’ve met who voted Leave now have changed their minds. Not scientific I agree, but there’s that

ok.

however, i wonder if those people who are reconsidering their leave vote are reconsidering again given the draconian and seemingly anti-freedom positions taken on brexit by the EU leaders.

i also wonder if the situation is as static as it appears to be at the present time. there are still 57 or whatever days left to go and that imho is still a long time in the world of politics. for example, trump has yet to weigh in with an updated response including specifics on how the us will handle the post-brexit trade situation with gb, and iirc the queen has not, at least as of yet, made her position clear. also it does not seem to me that political commentary takes into consideration the possibility that trump may come to gb’s trade rescue if the EU leaves it in the lurch.

Of course, I could be getting it all wrong— half the battle i have, viewing it from the usa, is just trying to keep track of all of the strange-sounding terminology (”backstop,” etc.).

my own personal experience from traveling both in gb and internationally in the past few months is that britons are just plain tired of being whipsawed from one direction or another by all the fervent arguments by true believers on both sides. i am not convinced that they have formed a firm opinion yet about what is happening. to be fair, i think there is some risk either way, so some trepidation might be expected.
