More details

Many people may have been swayed by catch phrases thought up by politicians, on what is a very complex political and economical issue. As the reality of the situation is now emerging for both the British and European economies as well as prospects of Scotland and Northern Ireland separating from the UK, there is good reason to believe that many who voted "leave" would now vote "remain". The government has a responsibility to make assurances that this referendum result was based on informed decisions.
