> We already know half the country wants to leave and half wants to stay

I get it's a democracy yada yada, but how are people expected to make such a decision ? It has so many consequences on short and long term, even experts in the field struggle(d) to predict. We're not talking about the color of a national football team jersey or a 1% increase on alcohol tax here.

The vote wasn't about staying or leaving EU, it was about how modern propaganda can tear apart a leading world nation.

You always get the worst of people when you target their irrational fears "they" steal our money (EU budget) , "they" invade our country (immigration), &c.
