Google search data paints grim picture of Brits' lack of understanding about the EU and Brexit

Search data released by Google following the UK's shock decision to leave the EU reveals an astonishing lack of political awareness among the British population.

According to Google, the second most popular EU-related question in the UK since the referendum result was announced in the early hours of this morning is "What is the EU?"

Other popular search terms include "What does it mean to leave the EU?", "Which countries are in the EU"?, "What will happen now we've left the EU?" and "How many countries are in the EU?".
