The vast majority of people are ill informed and swayed by untrustworthy sources. It's just a fact at this point. |

leave.eu have known links with russia, and some of the adverts they were running in the lead up to the referendum were ridiculous

This is a thread about fake news and fake footage having sway over the voting public... The spread of fake news is a major concern in today's world and how prominent it is paints a damning picture for how informed most voters are.
By all means, offer up an argument about how everyone is informed but considering that you've just tried to make it personal, I won't hold my breath. |

Umm...
So you won't assume that voters are typically uninformed but you'll believe that the people asking what the EU is are automatically remainers? Such rampant hypocrisy. |

I think this applies to a hell of a lot of people, on both sides. I fully admit I did not know at the time exactly what I was voting for, should have researched more before voting. I figure a lot of people were in the same boat as me, and if you are undecided and then see lies such as 'extra 350m to the NHS' and stuff, I can see why that would sway people. The outright lies told by both sides were horrendous tbh.

![]() Really really do NOT want a general election anytime soon, and its looking quite likely. I would have to spoil my ballot tbh, as none of them are worth voting for :/ Also good point about the Russian interference BOTS. I believe the russians actually have 'troll farms' where they purposely try to sway the public on certain things too. |

just saying this shows how utterly stupid the electorate is at large and why we should just stick to representative democracy.

Both, I would say tbh.
I find this 'leavers did not know what they were voting for' argument a bit daft, yes many didn't, and it shows by the kind of things they say now about it all (eg. my parents fell for the NHS thing) however, lots of nremainers did not know really. I voted remain, but at the time was so confused by all the misinformation that I pretty much only voted to keep the staus quo, as better the devil you know

i think people are missing the point. leave.eu was a russian sponsored campaign to create havoc in the uk/europe ... and it was very successful.
If you ask voters after a general election if they knew what they were voting for, very few would be able to answer yes. With all votes, you are voting for a future you hope may come to pass, which is completely nebulous. The referendum was no different. |
