I 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.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoYou could look at it either way. For example, you could say it was Remain voters who wanted to understand why Leave voters were pleased to have won. Once someone realises they were misled by the mainstream media, and see the vote was about more than just racism/immigration, perhaps that curiosity is understandable. In any case, we can't say for sure which side of the argument was searching for 'What is the EU?', though odds are it was a mixture of people from remain, leave, undecided and ineligible.
