No. Nobody who voted for Brexit was thinking logically or clearly at all. Anybody can dismiss this as a political opinion, but not a single person who supported brexit did so for anything other than :
* Flag-waving nationalism.
* Financial self-interest from a long-term reduction in EU standards.
* Perceived (but incorrect) financial self-interest.
- lucozade 6y agoNonsense. I think Brexit was a particularly stupid idea but I've spoken to a number of people who voted for Brexit and every one had a perfectly sound reason that I happen to disagree with or don't consider an important issue. Interestingly (to me), not one of them voted for financial reasons.
- maxehmookau 6y ago> a perfectly sound reason Please, do elaborate. Because I'm yet to hear a sensible reason for Brexit that doesn't end up with general pearl-clutching about soverignity or can stand up to any sort of logical argument.
