I agree that we all needed more information and think that...
The BBC should have done at least an hour a week since the referendum was announced to unbiased fact for the general public. It's what they exist for in a way...
Having said that, to now say that only 'intelligent' people can vote, or as some have said 'idiots shouldn't be allowed' is very elitist and borderline extremist in its own way.
It irks me that when things go their own way in a vote, people are all smiles and sunshine but if not..look out. That's democracy. In its very essence. Majority rules. You can't then start bemoaning others opinions as ill-educated. They very possibly are, same as last time there was a vote, and the time before that...and..so on.
