#2Here's a Leave fellow who says he just did it as a protest vote thinking it wouldn't actually pass. https://twitter.com/AdamWSweeney/status/746269140915208193 I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The most important international agreement in the UK's history torn up because people thought this was a Buzzfeed poll.

That reminds me of certain American voters saying they support Trump just because they want to tear the system down. I don't think they realize what tearing the system down would actually mean.

On the contrary, the fact the EU had enormous power over British people, yet barely anyone knew what it was, what it did, or why it was important, was a compelling reason for the UK to leave.

Welcome to direct democracy. The Swiss also had protest votes which actually passed.

#9Isn't that expected? People who voted for the establishment status quo want to know what might happen in the years to come now that the vote has gone against them.
Voting to stay meant no change, therefore they knew more or less the outcome, but now that the outcome is opposite their votes, they want to look into the repercussions --this informs that it's likely they stay vote didn't investigate the alternative before voting and likely voted out of custom to stay.
But way to go WaPo and imply naïveté on the Brexiters.

There's no harm in tearing down something that doesn't benefit the majority of voters in this country. I say let 'er burn.
