it really never ceases to amuse me how smug, superior and sneering remainers are of those of us who voted leave.... just because we came to a different conclusion to you about what would be the best way to vote does not make us any more or less intelligent or informed than you... and tbh at this late stage in the game such snide aspersions about the character of those that disagree with you do nothing but make you look rather the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.
Although I didn't use your term 'less intellingent' there were individuals across the spectrum of voters who were suceptible to deception, including those who supported remain on the day. As with popoulist campaigns across the world in recent years, they have all sought to mobilise emotions of being left out or ignored for political gain. Just like Trump in the US, the leave campaign targeted many of the politically passive voters with unsubstantiated claims and promises, most of which are now being revealed as blatantly untrue. Of course there was an opportunity to do a similar thing on the remain campaign, except that life within the EU had already been experienced for decades so apart from rebutting some of the misinformation that the leave campaign was stating, not much could be said.
Intelligence has nothing to do with how people voted, after all leading lights like Mogg is splendidly intelligent, (thanks to his privileged education), but his choice of leaving is as a speculator with cash to play with and he is pushing for the most chaotic exit possible to maximise his chances of cashing in of on the situation. There is however a vulnerable section of the electorate who were duped, maybe less than 5% of the total that would numerically cover the slim majority the leavers needed to claim a win.
It doesn't matter which way anyone voted, whether leave or remain, nothing can alter the fact that the deal on offer is nothing more than an absolute unconditional surrender to the will of the EU brought about by the absolute incompetence of our present Government which contains MPs of ALL persuasions.
The deal is there, take it or do something else, i.e:
1) walk away, WTO - almost certain economic disaster
2) have a general election - Conservatives (and much of the electorate) too scared
3) go back and demand a better deal - no chance, the current deal is basically what the EU was saying before the referendum (but the leave campaign poo-pooed it)
4) ask the public what they want now - yes, it's the democratic way ahead if a government has painted itself into a corner
Probably 4) is the way ahead, after all a better informed electorate will decide what risk
they will accept.
IMHO after the referendum and departure of Cameron then May should've appointed a "National Government" and ensuring that all significant parties had an imput, along with ensuring that the Nationalist parties {SNP, Plaid etc} had a place at the table to argue the particular needs of the individual nations... not forgetting to ensure there was a balance of remainers and leavers in the team.
a) there would be a total impasse of such a situation. It isn't anything like a 'National Government' in wartime because there is no unifying enemy. About half of them would want to remain anyway
b) the EU's position would be exactly the same, and the same as they indicated before the referendum) and anybody except the most naïve observer recognises that there are 27 other nations that have proven to be fully behind the EU negotiators in reminding the UK of that.
Still if you think that's another blame channel then keep repeating it. Meanwhile I'll just wait for the politicians accede to what is now a wish for 75% of the electorate, i.e. a referendum based on the real situation rather than lies (disguised as aspirations).
