"What is the EU?" is the second top UK question on the EU since the #EURefResults were officially announced
Voters on the day of the referendum were uninformed and didn't take into consideration the real situation. I'm not saying it's why there was a Brexit, because nothing proves that people voting "leave" were the most googling this questions (no data can exist on such affirmation).
It just proves that Britains were not informed on the day they voted, that they didn't grasp the importance of the situation and that they made a hastly, unthought decision.

I would say those are under 18's who were doing assignments on it in school on Friday.
You guys know that kids use Google too, right?
Well if you look at the leave campaign and here at the brexit threads ( under the premise that the ppl who said that they are UK inhabitants really are) i think moglie's post is pretty much spot on.
There was an opinion poll out yesterday which showed Leave voters were happy with their decision. All adult voters in Britain know what the EU is because we've been literally arguing about it for forty years, constantly. It has been in every newspaper, every day, for forty years.
The people who might not know are the kids in school on Friday doing assignments on the exciting developments unfolding, and some of our non-EU migrant workers who were probably wondering how it all affected them.
I get that some Europeans are terrified that the UK has lit a fire under them, but this decision is final. Britain is fed-up to the back teeth of the EU. The EU is also wrong for our economy - we specialise in financial services, but they've been refusing to allow a single market in financial services for 40 years, mainly because they fear British companies will crowd out local firms. So we lose nothing from extricating ourselves from the corpse that is the EU. Getting out now before the rotting corpse explodes and spews stink everywhere is the smart thing to do.
