Wanting to know and in many cases regretting it. It seems obvious many had no idea what they were doing, and many were just "mucking about".

Wanting to know and in many cases regretting it. It seems obvious many had no idea what they were doing, and many were just "mucking about".
- Slaul 10y agoHow do you know that they regret it "in many cases"?
- capote 10y agoGut feeling after reading the article I suppose? Would you really be surprised if many voters didn't know what they were voting for? Especially if the outcome is one agreed upon by most intellectuals to be the worse outcome.
- Slaul 10y agoNo, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I was just curious, hopefully I did not come across as confrontational.
- capote 10y agoYou didn't. All of this is based on implication and what meaning you draw from the information, so it's not such a solid thing.
- cm3 10y agoSo maybe it's time to regulate campaigning to be disallowed from spreading lies or misrepresenting reality?
- mc32 10y agoAs well as who is regretting what (remain/leave) and in what numbers. It's all click bait speculation.

- ZenoArrow 10y agoHow do you know it was just Brexiters who were Googling "What is the EU?"? Seems a bit presumptive.
- capote 10y agoI don't. But if Bremainers were googling it it's inconsequential. It's the Brexiters who google it that tell us something about the vote.
- throwanem 10y agoBut you don't know either way, so you're just drawing conclusions from outright ignorance here. That doesn't seem like a useful way to spend time.
- capote 10y agoI spend much of my time in unuseful ways, and so do you. Outright ignorance is definitely pushing it. It's a guess, but very much an educated guess that it's mostly Brexiters who are googling it. Bremainers tend to be better informed, so they are less likely to be doing last minute (or in this case post-last minute) googling about the issue.
- ZenoArrow 10y ago> "Bremainers tend to be better informed" What a load of bollocks. The majority of people on both sides have been getting the bulk of their information from mainstream media, which is heavily biased towards a limited set of narratives. There's a fair amount of compelling information that has been omitted from or suppressed in the public debates.
- capote 10y agoIt's definitely the case that remainers are better informed.
