Alot of people seemed surprised, that I was surprised.

I was surprised, because I dont follow politics.

I just sort of stumbled upon issues when travelling around Europe.

The point of my comment is not that I was surprised, but that Brexit "happened", from my pov. Im sure many others understood the repercussions like gifted clairvoyant giraffes before it occurred, but I alas did not.

In fairness there was a lot of uncertainty between 'hard brexit' which we got and 'soft brexit' which wouldn't have changed much. My biggest gripe about the whole thing from a democracy point of view is no one really knew what exactly we were voting for. I think it should have been two stage - do you want to leave and then here's the deal - do you still want to do that? I think we would have remained if people had seen the real terms and condition rather than "have our cake and eat it" make believe pushed by certain politicians.
