Smart people are people that can make mistakes, but are willing to admit to said mistake and change their views and actions on that view.
I don't have a problem with people that make mistakes but are willing to own up to them and change as evidence shows it was a mistake, but I've no time for people that get so defensive on their views like a religion and usually because they've dug in so deep in that view, that it's embarrassing to admit they got it wrong, especially if they've been public about it.
People are changing their views on Brexit in the UK, but the more hardcore Brexiteer will likely need years if not decades of more pain to come to the country for them to wake up, that and as time goes by, they hope people forget what their views were on the subject so they can change without the embarrassment.
It's a sad state of affair but the EU and many of its members likely know that could need decades of Brexit to really drum the message home in how badly they got it wrong, hence the idea of rejoining the EU any time soon is a pipe dream until there's a sizeable change from the public, media and political parties in how they see the EU project, and that's going to take years if not decades, but even then, say the UK gets a chance to rejoin the EU, there will be no op-outs, we'll be signing in to everything like the Euro, and we should remember that the EU members are likely going to integrate more before the UK has a chance to join, so the EU we'll be joining won't be the one we left, the only exception to that rule is Scotland and Northern Ireland if they choose to leave the UK, Scotland might have an easier time with it and the EU might go easier on Scotland being that they were pulled out of the EU against their will, as for Northern Ireland, the best chance is unification with the Republic, they would have the same terms that the Republic already has with the EU.
As for the UK, the best they can hope for is to repair ties with the EU, something we are seeing little signs off and maybe that will get better if Labour wins the next election, maybe the UK could join the single market and custom union, that would solve a lot of problems and protect the economy, but the UK wouldn't have a vote in the decision-making, so that might be a hard sell, but that could be a stepping stone for rejoining the EU, whiles also proving to them that the UK is serious about wanting to rejoin, but for now, there's little chance of the UK rejoining, because the Tories are too dug in on this and Labour are scared of the Brexiteers, that's a clear message to the EU that the UK is a long way from being ready on rejoining.
As for the British people changing their tune on Brexit, well that's all well and good, but unless those views are backed up with action, it means nothing and as for the Brexiteers, I've no sympathy at all, every bit of pain that's happened and likely to continue to happen, it's well deserved for them, it's just unfortunate that they are pulling a lot of innocent people down with them, but the truth is, remainders are partly to blame, we didn't do enough to prevent Brexit, many thought it would never have happened so didn't make an effort to vote, we didn't do enough to correct a lot of the BS that was coming from the Eurosceptics and right wing press in the UK, I mean seriously, they've had a free ride for decades in twisting the narrative on the EU project, so there's a lot of blame to go around on both sides on Brexit, but again as I said above, without action, peoples views changing means little unless it's backed by action to make change.
