There really isn't enough to go on to say that there were a lot of such people (beyond, like, "some" idiots). Have they based this on actual polling? It is probably more relevant to note which promises the Leave campaign pushed forward, and which promises are being withdrawn only a few days after the referendum (e.g. this bit from Newsnight by Daniel Hannan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5jTRoySFfo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5jTRoySFfo). Then you could argue that people voted for a different thing that wasn't real. The whole "I didn't think my vote would matter" crowd might turn out to be kind of irrelevant, more like a curiosity.

But like I said above, it's only about 700,000 people to swing the vote to "Remain". A little more than 1% of the population/something like 2% of those that voted.
