No and I've never claimed to.

But if I've noticed some who were uninformed, then I'm sure that other people have aswell, and it makes you wonder what the total number of people that were uninformed actually was for the Brexit side if you put all of the posts into a tally.

Tbf to Brexit I don't think that all of the Remainers were informed either, I certainly don't know everything about running a country's Economy and I doubt that most regular people do, that's why I feel that the Government/Media did a poor job at explaining what the EU is about to people, and the pros and cons of leaving the EU, and the pros and cons in staying in the EU. But instead we all had to go with our gut on the basic information that we all know about the EU.

And you could say exactly the same thing as the part in bold about anyone who voted to remain, as you mention underneath. It's just that people say it a lot more frequently about those who voted to leave and yet we can't possibly know whether there was even a reason that inspired the majority. We can't know if people went with their gut either. I can say that I'd probably have voted leave regardless of anything else after Maastricht and Lisbon treaties. I have no idea why everyone voted but I expect that were plenty of others like me who didn't share the EU ideology and didn't want it.
