All sorts of crap has an effect on how human beans make decisions. That goes for both the electorate and the apparently expert decision-makers who become the elected by the random-select process known as democracy.
I can't delineate all the impulses behind the Leave vote, though one I'm sure of was actually language, I'd have been willing to stake everything I own on STAY doing at least 2% better than REMAIN, which was just one of many dumb choices Camerosborne made. What kind of Divvy outside the referendum debate has said, "I want to remain," in their whole life? Okay folks let's sell a word no-one uses and is redolent of death, yeah that'll bring in the votes big-time. Not.
People can't even get their head around voting for the best dancer on Strictly, they vote for the person they like most ..... They only voted for Mo Farah as BBC SPOTY when he actually got worse! Maybe you're right they probably would vote STAY, specially if Mrs May keeps on telling everybody she is very CLEAR on every issue. Is that clear as in transparent, or clear as your head when you are on a walking holiday in the hills with your Group 4 husband?
So what happens if we re-run the Referendum, is the next step best of three, best of five if Leave wins again, play Pooh Sticks, ask Martin Atkinson, get Dynamo to pick a card .........?
Mrs May doesn't look as though she knows where she is taking the country, but where would the country be if we said, we want to stay please, here we are all of us assuming the grovelling supine-gammawolf positions, please don't take our fat cat bankers to Frankfurt, we all really believe only people from Eastern Europe can pick our strawberries and that our rich farmers don't exploit them with long hours and dreadful conditions ...........
What happens if we don't leave, where are we then? Do you really believe we'll hit the re-set button to same-as-it-ever-was, letting the days go by? Is this a slate we can wipe clean? Or might there be a price for bending the rules, like joining the Euro like a new entrant ........ and if our crazy electorate were pumped full of a skewed version of the new reality by our skewed media, how then would they vote?
Am I wiser or more stupid than them? How can I ever know?
