[QUOTE=Plagioclase;66113215Let's read the article again. The "facts" that only a minority got wrong were the particularly absurd ones that absolutely nobody should have any doubt about. It's an absolute joke that a quarter of the public believes a myth that was invented by the British tabloid press (the bananas). And look at those average estimated budget breakups. People overestimate our foreign aid budget by literally orders of magnitude. People overestimate the amount of money spent on EU projects by vast amounts. The majority of the public believes fabrications put forward by the Leave camp such as their claims about immigration. These are not tiny little errors, these are huge misunderstandings about key points that people made their decision to withdraw over. In a parliamentary select committee, if the group of decision makers were as uninformed as this, the group would be thrown out and they'd probably all lose their jobs. I don't understand why it's suddenly okay when it's the general public.
The article is obviously an extremely biased biased piece of tosh, it calls the public misguided for not believing the 'facts' over how living standards will reduce and immigration won't reduce after brexit, these are not 'facts', they are opinions, you can't claim that the majority of people got the facts wrong when the facts are made up.
