I wish Jonathan Freedland wouldn’t assume that those who voted to leave the EU now regret their decision (With even leavers regretting Brexit, there’s one path back to rejoining the EU, 23 June). I voted leave and would do so today. In fact, had I been able to vote in the referendum to join what was then the common market in the 1970s, I would have voted no.
My reasoning is that you cannot have 27 countries – all with different histories, cultures, industries, societies – agreeing on everything. Therefore no country actually gets what it wants, or what is best for it. I believe I have been proved right time and time again with all the disagreements that go on in the EU, and the decisions that always disadvantage some members.
