I think my biggest problem with the whole situation has been a big propaganda machine on both sides pushing out tons of misinformation. Those on the remain side really have no idea how things will shake out economically, which is really their biggest argument. This has never happened before and so it is difficult for economists to accurately predict. On the leave side, they made a lot of claims with no basis for as well. The 350 million quid claim, the immigration claims, all of that stuff is not rooted in fact.
This is why I have a problem with politics these days, because this is becoming the norm. We have access to more information than ever before in the history of mankind yet we fall prey to campaigns designed to take advantage of the naivete and laziness of the average person.
