57% of Britons said the decision to leave the European Union in 2016 was the wrong one, compared with 32% who thought it was correct.
More than half - 55% - said they would vote to remain in the EU, against 31% who said they would stay out, if the referendum were to be held again.
I know two people who voted to leave because they had no opinion on the matter so thought leaving would be the default option. One was my sister. Neither pay attention to news or current affairs. Baffling.
Both got extremely defensive when I pointed out how backwards that was then started making up rubbish in efforts to justify their decision.
I voted remain for the same reason your sister voted leave, I wasnt aware of the effect of either side so my thought process was “better the devil we know”
It amazes me what people with the ability to vote will do sometimes.
That’s what I said to her. Defaulting to exit is voting for the unknown, without understanding it might be good but it could also be bad. Or vote to remain to continue living the way you always have been.
I’m sure some people voted with anger or desperation. Hoping change, any change, will somehow better their lives. I can only think that’s what my sister did what with living in border line provety.
