I'm surprised the thread has become this large. Good grief.


Also, I think a lot of people want to revote because they didn't put much thought into it in the first place. Most people just went with their emotions(or false information) to place their vote. If a second round occurs, I think more people will go online and seek information on the matter. They'll weigh the cons and pros, evaluate the situation, and then place a vote based on their knowledge.

They went online after voting, doh

That's not a case of ignorance; rather, a smudging of the facts to make them seem more important than they are. Notice how Google specifically chose the topic of it being the EU and not out of everything? Not only that, but Scotland - where they overwhelmingly voted to stay - has the top question of "What is Brexit?"

EDIT2: To expand what I'm saying above, think about it this way. When it says "Top Questions on the European Union", what other questions would you expect to find so close to the vote?
