what they wanted was less immigration, wage suppression, “””Asian””” grooming gangs, but instead their parties betrayed the people’s wishes and doubled down on that, they should have adopted a Poland or Denmark type immigration policy and used their economic power to tell the EU to fuck off if they tried to impose “””refugee””” quotas
Less than a quarter voted to remain, more than a quarter voted to leave.
This is such a boring story. It’s done. If you want to come back, apply for membership, you will be welcomed.
Including people who can’t legally vote is such a BS and loaded move. So is including people who could not or chose not to vote.
Wait, prisoners can’t vote in the UK? I thought that was only a US-thing. Here in Germany they can vote and I kind of assumed that was true for all of western Europe at least.
Why include folks that can’t vote, just to skew the look of pie chart? Might as well give opinions of peoples cats and dogs.
Everyone, even kids should be able to vote.
Expats could vote by post if they had lived in the UK in the past 10 years and had previously been registered to vote – doesn’t mean they were counted though – not only was the system terrible (I received the ballot just two days before the deadline to return it), I received a nice note from the local council my vote was sent to saying they had lost some of the returned votes and it may not be counted.
Did they vote the Google logo?
This image amply demonstrates why referendums should never be anything but advisory.
Can we see a version of this with anyone who’s no longer alive removed? So the percentage breakdown of votes by people here today?
“Including confused” lol
Couldnt vote – Expats… those people most directly affected, couldnt vote in an EU policy issue. Ffs!
Not the contiguous land mass of Europe, though we share social values.
And all the problems that leavers addressed ate solved. No immigration now, amd everybody is swimmijg in money that would be sent to the eu. Blimey
Didn’t vote should have been split for those confused/don’t know and otherwise “engaged” and could not vote.
Those are two total different reasons of Didn’t vote and could have made a big difference
Honestly fuck the 12 million people who didn’t even bother to show up.
A more interesting and telling pie chart would be if you split up leave between the various options UK tried to negotiate in the following years. Remain agreed on the status quo, but people voting Leave basically had no idea what they wanted instead
I think we are forgetting the fact that this was Russia’s doing…
I mean, true, in the end people voted and it’s their decision to live with, but without Russian interference, I don’t think leave would have won.
Over time, I become more and more convinced that voting should be mandatory. Part of the social contract, if you will.
What’s the point of this? Only the opinion of those who voted matters.
and all of us who voted to remain would vote exactly the same today…. But would the leavers vote to leave again?
No of course they wouldn’t you thick cunt!!
It was the biggest mistake any country has done to itself. Full of propaganda and fakenews. Russia celebrated… like the right-wingers who lied to all in the UK. It’s a shame it happened at all.
Now show how each constituent nation/territory voted.
This is why you should need a qualified majority when involving the public in serious decisions (aka. 2/3 of the votes)
Prisoners can’t vote? Wow.
So?
You can make the same pie chart with regard to any election, and it will look like the winner is a minority that does not have the so-called “democratic mandate” or “legitimacy”. If the outcome had been 51% remain, it would have also looked the same.
If you really want people to only vote for things you like, why bother with democracy? Why not just install a managed technocratic democracy like Singapore where the leading party will always enact policies based on research and science? In a system like Singapore, the likes of Trump and Bolsonaro can never rise to power.
There has never been a greater act of national self harm. And the people who were duped into voting for this farce are falling for it with Reform, all over again.
Something that can be seen on this picture and on the US elections day – the majority of the people do not bother to vote and it seems later suffer the consequences.
hot take: votes should be weighed by 1- (voters’ age / avg life expectancy).
Many of the elderly people who voted ‘leave’ in 2016 are already dead, many of the young people who voted ‘remain’ have 50 or so years ahead of them, impacted by said vote.
It may fail spectacularly, but it could also be fairer.
Another manipulation. Lets include those who cannot vote in every elections results!
Yeah I guess they aren’t European anymore.
This is hilarious. Why not add dogs and cats as well?
You should never take such important decision upon a damned single unique vote.
You could literally vote the very next day, and results would be noticeably different, it’s insane to let such ridiculous margins on a single occurrence decide of your country’s fate.
But hey, who am I to criticise such beautiful design, right ?
