ONE LAST TIME: Brexit, for the VAST MAJORITY of Leave voters, was about xenophobia

73. No, I'm talking about uneducated people (that is based on polling, not my opinion)

there was a strong correlation between education level and how people voted.

So, uneducated people who were manipulated by the media and politicians who lied to them so blatantly that they were on TV this MORNING taking back the promises they'd made.

This is EXACTLY why we have representative government. Do you think you know enough about economics to decide how the UK should structure its trade with the EU? Because that, in essence, is what this referendum was about. It was sold to the general population as "GET THE MUSLIMS OUT" but the EU at its essence is about trade and free movement.

Even if you yourself do feel you know enough to make a knowledgable decision, do you think most voters do? Do you want Trump voters deciding in an up-down general referendum how we structure our trade deal with Mexico?
