What was the vote? 51/49 or 51/48? Not really a conclusive result either way so I am not sure where the shock was or, if it indeed existed, what one could have been in touch with to avoid it.
In the long run I believe it will turn out bad for the economy and thus for the country. For the most part though I think of those who voted leave, a fair old number fell into either "don't understand the economy" or "ultimately good or bad, the economy is not related to my voting decision"
Which pretty much made a nonsense of the remain campaign.
Whichever, it will probably be 5 years before anybody can say with amd degree of proof and certainty whether this negatively impacted the economy or not.
