There were a whole load of reasons why people voted to leave. The insistence on this only being the simplistic options given on the ballot paper is and will continue to be the problem.

@Sephiroth Please explain why genuine PR would not change anything?

What was offered was little different to FPTP, so I m not surprised the majority voted to keep the known undemocratic system rather than switch to a similarly undemocratic electoral system.
Well, of course, it would change something. Parliament would be as huge a mess as it is now with parties raging against each other, coalitions being strained and so on. The UK doesn't have a tradition of PR so people's thought processes don't gravitate towards that kind of governance. As I say about Europe, we look alike but don't think alike.
