OR you could take a look at the article you were linked to about various surveys, and see what they had to say about the self-reported motivations of the voters. Might be enlightening.
How have you managed hundreds of conversations with hundreds of different "brexiteers"? Do you have exact figures? Is it part of your job? Is a "brexiteer" the same as someone who voted to leave the EU, or do you mean something more specific?
- LatteLazy 6y agoThe linked article supports my position: people claim to have voted for brexit because of X, but when facts come in and disprove X, they claim it was Y. Rinse, repeat. People need to stop pretending they had a viable reason for their vote. If they admitted it was just personal preference I'd accept that. But pretending it was logical when it wasn't is frankly insulting.
- Nursie 6y agoMy reading of it was that it compared peoples motivations for voting against what other people thought were their motivations, and showed a difference. I saw no section there that said "and when they were proved wrong ..." Honestly I think your attitude here is terrible One of the major reasons given there in the surveys is that leave voters wanted UK law to be made by the UK. How has that been "disproven"? It may not be something you care about, but that's very different.
