This is likely to make you angry or at the very least, shake your head in disbelief.
Unless you’ve abstained from all forms of social media and haven’t turned on a radio/TV or looked at a newspaper today, you’ll know ALL about the outcome of the Brexit referendum.
Voters in Great Britain voted to leave the EU by a small margin: 51.9% to Leave, 48.1% to Remain.
However, it has since emerged that some of the people who voted weren’t actually sure what they were voting about.
FACEPALM.
A tweet posted by Google Trends reads: “What is the EU?” is the second top UK question on the EU since the #EURefResults were officially announced”.

Like honestly, where is one meant to go from that!?
Of course, the tweet itself has received a huge reaction and everyone wants the hard facts behind this statistic.
@GoogleTrends how many people asked the question?

@GoogleTrends Its a bit late to be asking “What is the EU” and “Which countries are in the EU”. Looks like some voters were well informed!

As if that wasn’t enough to take it, other voters have expressed regret at their choice to vote Leave, now that reality has sunk in.

I personally voted leave believing these lies and I regret it more than anything, I feel genuinely robbed of my vote???

Seriously? Some #Brexit voters saying they regret voting leave and would vote remain next time? When will there be a next time?

The backlash to Brexit has already started gaining momentum: sooner or later, britons will regret en masse the pro Leave ballots cast.
