How do you know it was just Brexiters who were Googling "What is the EU?"? Seems a bit presumptive.

I don't. But if Bremainers were googling it it's inconsequential. It's the Brexiters who google it that tell us something about the vote.

But you don't know either way, so you're just drawing conclusions from outright ignorance here. That doesn't seem like a useful way to spend time.

I spend much of my time in unuseful ways, and so do you.

Outright ignorance is definitely pushing it. It's a guess, but very much an educated guess that it's mostly Brexiters who are googling it. Bremainers tend to be better informed, so they are less likely to be doing last minute (or in this case post-last minute) googling about the issue.

> "Bremainers tend to be better informed"

What a load of bollocks. The majority of people on both sides have been getting the bulk of their information from mainstream media, which is heavily biased towards a limited set of narratives. There's a fair amount of compelling information that has been omitted from or suppressed in the public debates.

It's definitely the case that remainers are better informed.

Based on what?

Based on nothing or anything. It's just reality.

Repeated assertion.

You could look at it either way. For example, you could say it was Remain voters who wanted to understand why Leave voters were pleased to have won. Once someone realises they were misled by the mainstream media, and see the vote was about more than just racism/immigration, perhaps that curiosity is understandable.

In any case, we can't say for sure which side of the argument was searching for 'What is the EU?', though odds are it was a mixture of people from remain, leave, undecided and ineligible.

How do you know that they regret it "in many cases"?

No evidence for many cases, but some.

Gut feeling after reading the article I suppose?

Would you really be surprised if many voters didn't know what they were voting for? Especially if the outcome is one agreed upon by most intellectuals to be the worse outcome.

So maybe it's time to regulate campaigning to be disallowed from spreading lies or misrepresenting reality?

No, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I was just curious, hopefully I did not come across as confrontational.

You didn't. All of this is based on implication and what meaning you draw from the information, so it's not such a solid thing.

As well as who is regretting what (remain/leave) and in what numbers. It's all click bait speculation.
