I have said this early in the Brexit thread and let me reiterate as it's not resolved yet.
Brexit, the referendum about Brexit, is crunch time for one of the oldest and most stable democracies/societies in the world, and as such its fascinating to observe. Personally, I think the debate was quite democratic so far, and this includes misinformation spread before the referendum as I see it as an inevitable part of modern and open society (freedom of speech vs responsibility for not being an idiot).
Few posters already mentioned that arguments can be made for both sides, however, I think it's becoming clear to most that a single binary vote is probably not enough to resolve, what could be called, a break-through of status quo.
