There's lots of smart leave voters though. Leavers defy pigeon holing, my best effort counts 4 distinct leaver types and there's probably more.

It's a disservice to lump them all in the pitiful camp.

The leave voters are predominantly without a college education.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted for providing evidence. I tried to upvote you to counter that.

Because HN is generally pro-brexit and right wing, and they do not want facts that conflict with their world view.

Ah, but smart does not mean worldly or wise - I chose my wording poorly for the sake of brevity. I know plenty of very intelligent people who are utter idiots!
