You can add the whole Cambridge Analytica debacle into the mix too.It was democratic in the sense that everyone got to cast a vote, but the campaigns were misleading, especially Leave. My father in law voted Leave because he was passionate that immigration was too high and adamant the country was full. Millions thought like him, they thought we would "take back control of our borders". If he could have foresen what would have transpired he would never have voted Leave.
Too many lies, not enough facts. The whole Referendum campaign showed the UK up for not understanding the EU. The ignorance on all sides was astounding, which for those of us who understand the EU well the vote outcome is so hard to take.
A disaster all round.
