This is the thing. I kind of feel that most Brits need to be given something of a pass on the initial referendum because they were fed a pack of 'hopes' that turned out to just be outright lies.
We see it here too. People saying that things are one thing and then it becoming abundantly clear that they have no actual understanding of that thing.
The Brits were told that their current deal was bad and that they could get a better deal (sound familiar?) and would be better off on their own because they were promised this cornucopia of awesome things....in order to go away?
At face value that doesnt make much sense. Does it?
Problem was that nobody actually promised them anything, the cornucopia was lie and the people who lied bailed immediately.
Its like a bad prank where the punking is so bad that even Ashton Kutcher refused to show up at the end.
