Oh, do pack it in! If you lot think you can speak for all those who voted leave and how they were soooo confused and didn't know that a cross against leave meant leave, then that is true arrogance.
I don't know anyone who voted leave that didn't appreciate what they were voting for. Who are you to know what those who oppose your view were thinking?

Oh, do give it a rest, Mythica. You are whining now.

OB, you need to calm down. It really is simple. Let me try and explain:
some people voted Leave voted as you did i.e. to leave a political arrangement they have a ideological hatred of. Fine no problem so far.
some people voted Leave having researched the pros and con and concluded they were better off out. Again no problem. No quite the same but again no problem.
some people voted Leave as a protest and actually did not wish to Leave only to make a point.
some people voted Leave because they were persuaded by the Leave campaign that they would be better off and this was a win-win situation for them.
some people voted Leave because they do not like foreign people coming here and working in the UK
some people voted Leave because they had listened to the media they subscribe to and believed the lies told to them over decades of misinformation
some people voted Leave because they believe the promises of the post-brexit low regulation, low tax, free market economy sold to them by the Tories (they are wrong btw)
some people voted Leave assuming that they would not be worse off financially and would not face any hardships
some people voted Leave happy to see an economic downturn and job losses as a price worth paying. Worth noting that these people are, almost without exception, the people that will not be impacted by said consequences.
Are you seeing a pattern here? It is a pattern of people voting Leave for many different reasons .. reasons that include valid ones, xenophobic ones, stupid ones, and deceitful ones.
