Approximately 99% of the people voting for or against brexit didn’t know what they were voting for. I would be surprised if even 1% of the UK population could accurately describe what the EU is, it’s structure and the implications of leaving the EU.
- CodeGlitch 8y agoSo why would they vote for something they neither understand or care about? It's all about perception. People do things that are bad for them all the time (smoking, drinking, etc) but we still do these things because us humans like having a choice. it's up to us to decide our fate, and democracy gives us these choices - even if they are bad for us.
- mattmanser 8y agoDoesn't that just highlight how undemocratic and unrepresentative the EU actually is? Remain voter, just to be clear. I know it's got better over the last decade, but the real mistake of the EU was letting in a lot of countries without any say from the populace. It was an ideological decision, with no democratic mandate, and it's ripping the union apart.
