With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than

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.

That doesn't mean that such a vote was bad per se.

All socialist votes, after all, are cast emotionally (often out of an
emotional distaste for the fact that others seem to be doing better) and
certainly in the face of all known facts as to which sorts of society
produce the highest living standards.
