To be honest, it just shows at times that our version of democracy has failed.
The question as posed in the referendum was too simplistic. There was always going to be a lot more than do you want to leave the eu. Some people could understand the implications, others couldn't, and we were mislead by the campaigning groups.
I felt that I didnt understand enough to make the decision, I consider myself as intelligent but felt that I didnt have enough facts to make the decision.
This was a good example of the question was too hard for the average voter to understand the implications. I am really not sure that a referendum is the correct vehicle to use in these circumstances.
However this was the concensus and we now all have to live with the consequences.
