It is important that this isn't seen as an ad hominem attack. It is a statistical fact that older and less educated people voted for Brexit. That isn't an insult.
minor point!
I expect someone at one of the news channels is working out right now exactly what it means per constituency so we won't have to wait long.

Were you one of the really thick ones who voted to remain,or were you feeling too old to get out of bed and vote?

So where did you find this statistical "fact"?
What does that say about the couldn't-give-a-shit-and-be-bothered-to-vote young and better educated people?
It says that they were lazy and complacent.
I see 5% of UKIP voters voted remain. They must be the really thick who couldn't work out which box to tick.
Beaten to it. Yes, one in twenty UKIP supporters are too thick to vote for their own party's policies.

Which is why a majority will vote to trigger article 50, assuming it even gets to a vote. Seems a rather vague judgment expect it will be overturned.

If you don't vote, you are not included in the figure.
And, nice. I won't stereotype ALL remainers in the light of your comments but according to some on here, no remainers have been saying that about people who voted leave so I must be imagining things.

I do not think it's ironic at all in the light of a referendum that was held as part of government policy.
A purely ADVISORY referendum, that returned a far from conclusive response.
I think so too. Pain in the arse as far as I'm concerned, there are far more important things to deal with at present, such as Russia taking the piss left, right and centre.
Equally I am sure you will agree that there should be parliamentary scrutiny of the terms negotiated, otherwise it could be just the likes of Fox or Davies determining their interpretation of a democratic vote.

That is indeed idiotic. However if there was a remain party in parliament, then I would expect some of those who voted for it to either change their minds last minute, or to make a foolish error. To err is to be human.
Of course a struggling UK economy, laid low by a weak £, is manna to exporters. Say, arms dealers, for example.
There's a pause and an escape hatch here. Will the EU and the UK see this opportunity though? Or are they too proud? The EU does need change and can change for the better. It can also change to UKs advantage and betterment. If I was May I'd jump on the first plan to Brussels and start working on something. A reworked EU can work for the benefit of the UK and the EU. Get proper change and put this to the people.

It is vague and even if not overturned, the government could possibly just put an equally vague strategy for parliament to vote on rather than allow close scrutiny of the final details.
Yes, this is probably a sideshow. Unfortunately I believe it is a wholly unproductive action.
