Turnout was actually pretty good. But there was external manipulation, illegal spending, plus a ton of shifting goalposts, with no confirmation vote once the real Brexit “deal” existed. Pre-vote, people were told we’d be able to be like Norway, as unbelievable as that sounds now. Wild how a 52/48 result was taken as confirmation for the hardest Brexit possible. It truly sucks.
No sympathy for deliberate stupidity and pride-based sense of entitlement.
Edit: I misread OP’s comment. Yeah, for those who voted Remain, geez, sucks to be you, and I understand (source: Did not want Trump to win.)
But the people I am talking about are the remainers who didn’t have that.
I am a remainer and I approve these messages
Oh. Sorry, I misread. You’re right.
But anyway.
I have a small suspicion that if Leave won, it’s because not enough Stay people go out and vote.
And those who did vote, yeah, that sucks. But that’s how “democracy” works (in quotes because I know there was a lot of external manipulation.)
