By "I can't understand" I mean, "please explain to me" -- I am sure that political scientists will write at great length about the reasons behind brexit and xenophobia. I am not a political scientist and I have recently accepted a job in a country other than that which I was born in. What is the pracie of the argument as to why saying "I can't understand" is a bad turn of phrase?
