I wonder how long it takes a society to admit, not privately but publicly, that it’s made a mistake and that mistake needs to be undone?
Of course I’m talking of the Brexit decision.
I am NOT asking *your* opinion of Brexit, I’m asking how long a society takes to admit a mistake.

@Hinterlands If we can trust surveys, then a significant majority of people (and growing steadily with each survey) do now accept it was a mistake. At what point that means 'society' has admitted it, I'm not sure.

@simonblackbourn @Hinterlands yeah, good point. There’s a big difference between admitting a mistake and correcting that mistake. As you say, polls indicate a majority already realise. Imagine in 5 years, that majority could be huge. Will rejoining be a political priority though?
