Here's a little anecdote: https://www.indy100.com/article/brexit-leave-remain-voters-120000-dead-result-7463341 https://www.indy100.com/article/brexit-leave-remain-voters-1... Problem is, a non-binding referendum with just a binary subject with virtually zero clarity on how the process will be exercised was shoved down our throats. It's easy to blame the masses but the real problem was created by the politicians (e.g. David Cameron/the Tories) and their arrogance and short-sightedness.

Not to mention the lack of coherent opposition from Labour.

It was a war of the negatives. Neither side chose to express the positives. Brexiters were portrayed as small-minded xenophobes. The EU took the "We won't throw you a bone, what are you going to do about it?" approach. If there was a middle-ground option it would have won by a landslide. I don't see large enough majority worthy of this amount of change.
