This is a fairly nonsensical piece of remainer spin.
The question on the ballot paper was do you think the U.K. should leave the EU, or remain in the EU. Matters of process and consequence were discussed at length on TV and in other media during the campaign.
Ultimately, every one of the more than 30 million people who voted in the referendum will have made their own judgment based on a balance of factors. The likely state of the economy will have been one of those factors.
As with so many remainer objections, “nobody voted to be poorer” is a canard that is fundamentally disrespectful to the intelligence of British voters. I’d love it if you could just accept that everyone weighed up the same evidence as you, but when it came to it, more people came to a different conclusion than agreed with you. That really is all there is to it.
