The less educated you were the more likely you were to vote Leave. Immigration was the number 1 issue for Leave voters yet we know that most immigration comes from outside the EU. We know that most EU migrants come for skilled professional work and that we already had the ability to send them back after a given period of time.
There were some who voted Leave because they were worried about closer integration with Europe. While I don’t see that as a bad thing it is at least a concern grounded in reality. But they were in the minority. Most voted that way because they were too lazy to look a bit deeper.
You can call me arrogant for saying that but there is hard data to back it up. Is there any hard data to back up the claim that Remain voters swallowed bullshit from Cameron?
The younger voters voted remain. They know nothing else other than being in the EU. A cheaper mobile bill is important. And queuing up at a border is a disaster. And they are very intelligent because they were able to go to university where older voters had no choice but to go to work before they even left school.
Look at how many waste years and thousands taking studies that will never help. Not going to uni doesn't make someone thick. My eldest daughter didn't go to uni. She did the same as me. She worked and took qualifications that are work related whilst working. She is the youngest in her section but is in charge of it all. There was lots of disgruntled people until they saw change for the best. She is the only one that didn't go to uni. But if we check out intelligence the way you think shows it the best she would be considered to be thick.
There were some that voted whatever because of whatever. Yes we know. That doesn't mean anyone who voted either way is thick. People are not thick because they didn't vote the same way as us.
So most voted leave because they are lazy? That is a lazy statement.
So nobody voted remain because they were told that millions of jobs would be lost, millions of gravestones being mentioned and house prices would plummet if we voted leave. And this was echoed by those who should have known better.
You love to put your side to everything and ignore everything else. That is why you have a problem understanding what and why we are where we are now. Just like you tried to say it was my fault that house prices are too high and final salary pensions are about finished. You blamed my generation and the Tories for everything. But then went quiet when you found out who was really to blame for the pensions.
It is easy to blame what you don't like for anything. But it takes intelligence to think for yourself.
