This vote shows what a referendum can do if you offer a binary choice to an electorate, even an educated electorate with a long history of democracy, and push messages based on fear, in the context hings that are economical with the truth and plain lies, a number of misinformation was handed out.
The core issue was : Immigration. The entire blame of failure of economy and everything wrong with the country was put on the shoulders of immigrants.And the solution was to stop immigration and the EU was standing in the way, so BREXIT.
Now Britain is basically screwed. They had this amazingly stupid idea that they can leave EU unscathed. The economy will start to grow and employment will increase. But all they made sure was piss off Germany and other other European giants.
Now Britain wants an open market with free trade, but EU won't accept free trade without free movement of people.
There goes democracy: Parliament voted for something else, the people voted for something else.
