I think you're drawing conclusions based on your biases just as much as wapo is. You don't know who is googling the EU right now, or what their motivations are.

Just as much as some remain votes were blind votes for the status quo, some leave votes were blind votes for change.

Right... But then again, I'm not a journo at the WaPo. They are making these implications without knowing who... However I find it likely the Stay voters would be interested to know the implications of the vote now that the vote has gone against them.

My personal inclination is those googling it didn't vote at all, and are now trying to figure out exactly what will happen in the next few years.

They could also be children, non-voters, who are just trying to inform themselves about what the passionate people were fighting about and what's going to happen now.

Please don't use Google Trends for political gain. It's ridiculous on either side.
