And you end up negotiating the sort of little details about specific sectors rather than anything broad brush.

So the latest YouGov poll says 57% of the public think it was the wrong thing to do to leave, including 23% of leavers.

Absolutely.

What we have to remember is that is a different question from would you like to reopen it all and go back in, right?

So 55% do say rejoin.

But then if you say to them, would you like to rejoin fully without the sort of opt outs that we had before?

So you remember we weren't members of the euro.

We weren't part of the Schengen area.

We had a significant rebate.

Once you say to people, if we had to go back in, but join the euro and full fat membership, that goes down to 35% won't rejoin.

Apparently.

So I think it feels like there is a growing consensus that it's not gone that well and a small but growing proportion of leavers who aren't happy.

But then you might not necessarily want to sort of pull the lever to rejoin.

You know, I think politicians probably need to be slightly cautious in looking at the fact that people feel unhappy about Brexit and don't think it's gone well doesn't necessarily take you all the way to let's go back in.

Although that obviously is increasingly bubbling up as a discussion point in the Labour Party.

Heather, how realistic is that?

I mean, in his lifetime, may well be realistic.

In the next parliament, difficult.

So there is a real demographic divide.

So 67% of 18 to 24 year olds would say they want to rejoin.
