It may not be as big an impact as it is to us, but it will be an impact. I’m not going to list everything, but you’re an informed person (apart from what you were originally voting for) so you know.

I still think this is a big error the no deal Brexiters in Parliament are making, to assume that people will stoically get on with no deal.
This is something people will say they'll cope with a lot better than they actually will because imagining it theory is quite different to living the reality. Let's say it's even a quarter as difficult as the crash of 2008 will people be happy that? If inflation from a weaker pound as well as the cost of imports drive prices a lot higher? If wages stagnate and jobs are lost? This is a very mild version of what could happen. If there are literally queues at ports, just in time manufacturing collapses and supply problems for certain imports then it'll quite a lot worse.
If this happens only a minority will go 'this is what we voted for, let's see it though, it will get better', whereas a lot more will blame the politicians. This is why I think it's a lot easier for those who aren't responsible for the country to advocate no deal...
