It didn't with Brexit. Leaving seems to have been driven by emotion,
rather than thought.


Are those the thoughts of a remainer? How do you know how all leavers
think?


I don't claim to. However, I have yet to hear one give an argument for
leaving that wasn't either based upon emotion or not backed up by any facts.
