Enough people believed the politicians and the targeted Facebook ads selling this nonsense to push the result over the edge.
For lingering Leavers - decreasing in number, but not nearly fast enough - the fantasy is still there.
Leave and recover your power, your agency, your self-respect - as an individual, a country, a race.
So yes - that was the reason.
So it doesn't seem you're correct.
Boris Johnson has urged Theresa May to "channel Moses" and tell the EU to "let my people go".
But perhaps I'm being too literal. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
The thing is, though, that over on this side of the pond we are living in a national state of complete and utter unpredictability. Predictions and projections and strategic analyses are not worth anything at the moment.
Of course that was and is irrational. The problem is and has been domestic - all of the crazed voters who put some bizarre ideology or ideation over their clear self interest and the sociopathic Conservatives that they duly elected. It is the Conservatives that the UK needs to leave, not the E.U. This 'government' and their supporters are in a terminal snit. Sad for the rest.
