Well, one might blame the EU for being so bad that a majority of the voters preferred the poorly-defined, widely-understood-to-be-potentially-dangerous option rather than remain.
As an aside, I think terms like 'jingoistic' aren't helpful to discussion. I've never quite understood why it's jingoistic to prefer UK sovereignty but not jingoistic to prefer European sovereignty.
- petercooper 8y ago"Jingoistic" has a specific connotation of aggressive patriotism. The typical Remainer's level of support for the EU rarely approaches such a level, and tends to be based upon seeing membership of the EU as a benefit to their country (in a similar way to being a member of the UN, say) rather than a replacement for it.
