I see very little softening of attitudes to be honest mate. I still only see disadvantages that outweigh advantages and a continuation of negative impacts.
Many more people would vote to stay in if they knew what they know now ... ... that's not bias, the statistics are there. And that's not even including those who regret it but will never admit it. People didn't really have a clue what they were voting for because the campaigns were an absolute mess. Even the 'experts' were confused about what Brexit would mean ... ... the people waving Union Jacks or screaming into megaphones probably has as much of an idea.
The direction of travel was and still is clear and I didn't want my kids and grandkids to find themselves trapped in a political arrangement they could never get out of no matter what or who they voted for. Would I have trusted the Tories not to make an arse of it? Not ideal, but it was probably the last chance we'd ever have to get out. The vote also sealed the fate of this political class who've spent twenty years shrugging their shoulders and saying 'not me guv, EU rules'. We've removed that excuse. Ironically the choice is now clearer - all the way in or all the way out. We're a long way from rerunning it though, everyone will just get straight back in their trenches. Some never came out and it'll be decades if they do, like those Japanese lads coming out of the jungle in the sixties.
I think politically there's a lot more goodwill on both sides. The main protagonists at the time could never have begun discussing things like adults, but the new regimes don't have that baggage. We're now where we really should have been in 2017 - initial deal done, working problems through as they crop up in a constructive manner. Turns out the EU didn't sail off into the sunset and the UK didn't revert to the stone age.
To be fair we got rid of a bunch of corrupt arrogant men in suits and ended up with ... ... Johnson, Kwarteng, Hancock, Williamson, Raab and forty brand new hospitals
I don’t know where these stats come from but I don’t know one person who has changed their mind. I feel the remainders just feel happier spouting this crap incase they get another referendum

And we can remove them every five years if we choose to do so. Even earlier if we know a civil servant or two
They must of missed me and everyone I know, shame that they would of ended with a different answer, never mind losers are losers
Twenty people at most, unless you discuss your voting intentions with everyone you meet ... .... it's quite likely that you mix with people like you who have similar views tbf.
Chris Hopkins head of Savanta says “It’s hard to imagine being in the EU would solve any of the country’s current economic issues,” he said., “but perceptions matter.”
