That is really interesting.

I think another referendum here on this would be likely absurd,however in light of the type of misinformed campaign, and now seeing the after effects following the vote, it could be interesting to see what another came up with as to the result.

Voting in hindsight, rather than in the dark may not be that bad a thing.
