The point is that in the alternate scenario there wouldn't be half the establishment or more agitating to subvert the democratic will of the largest vote ever in British history, I guess..
- tim333 8y agoThere's something to be said for a bias towards the status quo. If it ain't broke don't fix it and all that. If the vote had been 60-40 leave I'd agree with you but it was close to 50/50 and based on some misinformation.
- growlist 8y agoI'll just make the point once again: more people voted for Brexit than have voted for anything else in the UK, ever.
- mikeash 8y agoThat’s mostly because more people are in the UK than ever before.
- gpm 8y agoThere's an argument that the bias towards the status quo weighs in the other direction. People are biased towards the status quo, if 50% of people are willing to go against the status quo they are more likely to be right than the 50% of people not willing to. I actually find it really remarkable that 50% of voters were unhappy enough with the EU to go against the status quo.
