How did you arrive at this conclusion other than pure conjecture? The in-out vote was a binary choice, as I remember?

- headmelted 10y agoIt's a less radical conclusion to assume that of the 52% of the leave voters there were at least some who didn't intend for this hard of a split, versus assuming that every last voter did. Also, you and I both know very well a lot of people that voted had no clue what it meant to leave. Or in some cases, what the EU even is, frighteningly.
- cannam 10y agoNo idea what individual voters thought they were voting for, but it's worth remembering that the official Leave campaign said that the UK would be staying in the free-trade zone. That may be impossible to reconcile with the other things they said, but there it is. (Source: http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/our_case.html http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/our_case.html - "There is a free trade zone from Iceland to Turkey and the Russian border and we will be part of it")
- thenomad 10y agoThere were polls before and after the event on exactly this question, as well as considerable discussion of the Leave options from Leave campaigners and the press. So I conclude what I originally said from those data points.
