If you are interested in 'Brexit' I can recommend watching "Brexit: The Uncivil War". It's a great insight into the gullibility of voters and how to manipulate a population. In fact, the programme demonstrates that the Brexit Referendum was a precursor, a test case, for Cambridge Analytica to show what could be done with algorithmic manipulation of social media etc. Before it then went and used its systems to get Trump into the Oval Office.

When asked, even now, the people who voted Leave, the people who campaigned for Leave, cannot articulate what change they expect to happen as a result of being outside the EU. A common phrase is "We're going to take back control."
"Control of what?"
"Our legislation."
"We already have control of our own legislation within Europe."
"Yeah well, we'll get £350 million a year back that we currently spend on Europe."
"You know that was shown to be a campaign lie?"
"Err...well...it was time for a change!"
"Why was it time for a change?"
"It was better when we weren't in Europe."
"Really? When we weren't in Europe Britain experienced two World Wars, a post war era that saw strikes, power cuts, enforced 4 day weeks etc. What of your current standard of living do you expect to improve as a result of Britain leaving Europe?"
"Maybe we'll be taxed less..."
"Hahahahahahahahaha"
It's unbelievable that so many people made such a massive long term decision on the basis of no understanding of the potential consequences and no grasp whatsoever of what they were actually voting for.
