re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
The exaggerated claims from both sides are off putting and are turning people off this referendum and while I believe a degree of it is deliberate the scale of exaggeration and outright lies so far and likely to continue is very damaging to the political process in the UK. I knew before this referendum that our politicians were anything but high calibre public servants but they have managed to plummet even further then my low expectations which was not an easy thing. I think the best thing for those of us who have decided our vote is to just steer clear of anything referendum related and just wait for the 23rd of June.
For those undecided good luck with trying to find anything tangible to help you make your choice as I see nothing to suggest that rational fact based campaigning is going to make an appearance anytime soon.
