This is the kind of matter that should be decided in a referendum. And it was, so there should be no going back. However, the issue here is that democracy has been abused to such an extent that many people voted while being confused, scared and angry. And it's not their fault, there's clearly something wrong with our society and politics. Everyone in the EU and UK needs to think really hard about media and their duty not to mislead, about politicians and their duty to be accountable in front of the voters, about governments and institution and their duty working for the benefit of the people and communicating and explaining their decisions. and, most importantly, the need to have well informed, educated and motivated people for democracy to actually work. I hope that UK will negotiate a deal with EU that will benefit the people both in the UK and EU, and that this will also lead to changes that will make UK, EU and every country in the EU a stronger, fairer democracy.
There are those that, without succumbing to bewilderment by demagogues, stake out principled reasons for making the adult decision to vote the way they did. They’re not necessarily wrong. Devil you know or the devil you don’t know: pick only one.
