Ok, I appreciate this is purely hypothetical is it could never be enforced but, it does astound me when a proportion of the electorate, albeit hopefully small, are so clueless they come out with comments like I've seen this morning which included:-
-Looking forward to doing some online shopping for items from the USA as they'd be cheaper now the pound has dropped
-Being surprised that the markets have fallen following the vote to leave and not realising their vote would have that effect
-Thinking this decision might pave the way for Norway to hold a referendum to leave the EU too
It's bad enough we all have to filter through the outright lies, like the money saved on the EU which would go straight to the NHS, and the scarcity of facts but people making decisions when their basic understanding is so poor is downright scary.
