Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

We are a parliamentary democracy and parliament should have decided.

It was decided by the political class, otherwise it wouldn't have happened. With such a slim margin they could have said "oh well, it's practically 50-50, it's wiser to maintain the status quo".

Nigel Farage was already gearing up to become a massive thorn in everyone's backside. He actually thought it probably would go that way he didn't realize that he barely won.
