EU: Should the UK Leave or Stay?

I think perhaps it's us overestimating people's intelligence

I'm not in the business of overestimating anything when it comes to the general population. I wouldn't call it intelligence though. I'd call it an overwhelming ignorance. Not thinking all the consequences through before coming to a decision. Sometimes because of a lack of information, sometimes because of the inability to process information.

Last week, when our very own rightwinger won the first round of presidential elections, people got asked why they voted for him. Some of the answers were - I shit you not - he looks nice, he's one of us, he comes from here.
