So have you seen the people admitting that they voted "Leave" to prevent the "Remain" vote from being too overwhelming? Some are now shocked and worried that the option they voted for actually succeeded.

Then there's this, from Larry Elliott in The Guardian:

    "The result speaks volumes about the state of
     modern Britain. For the better off, a vote to
     remain was the obvious thing to do.  For the
     less well-off, a vote to leave was their chance
     to protest about badly paid jobs, zero-hour
     contracts, bullying employers, and a sense that
     they had been forgotten.

    "These economic problems are deep-seated and of
     long-standing. Most of them have little to do
     with Europe.  But the referendum has given
     millions of unhappy people a chance to protest.
     This is a country divided by wealth, geography
     and class." '

Finally, there's this:

    "... people of the UK voted to leave the
     European Union with a majority of 52 percent
     - and according to Google, they don't really
     know why."

It's clear we are in a post-facts "democracy" - the "Leave" campaign are already saying that the things they promised, the things they campaigned on, won't happen.

To the Americans here - good luck with Trump in your elections.
