The higher the level of education, the higher the EU support
According the polls, university graduates were the most likely people to want to remain in the EU,
while those with a GCSE or equivalent as their highest qualification were more likely to back Brexit.
This was a pattern that was reflected in the results.
Those with no education tended to vote Brexit
These are the honest, decent people Nigel spoke about..the rest of us,
the more educated of the 72% are obviously not ...in his mind.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

Levels of education and class overlap strongly in the UK, and so the Brexit vote also matched up with areas with higher levels of people from the DE social class - meaning people in semi-skilled or unskilled labour, those in casual labour and pensioners.
This includes Blaenau Gwent in Wales, which has the highest working class population in Britain - 62 percent of voters here went for Leave.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

Considering how the Leave campaign adopted immigration as one of its key arguments, claiming that the current level of net migration is too high, it is unsurprising that the Remain campaign resonated more strongly with Britain's immigrant population.
London, where immigration is massively higher than the rest of the country, voted overwhelmingly to Remain - by 60 percent to 40.
But it's the areas in the South East and the East Midlands, where immigration has made a bigger impact only recently, that Ukip and now the Leave campaign have most resonated with.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

Best decisions are rarely made in anger but the majority have spoken.
I still think it is a bad move but again decision made.
Dtw ,there is no doubt in my mind that many of your points are valid,educated,poorly educated made their decisions .
The sun came up this morning and you guys have to deal with this yourselves and the world will react ,each in their own way.
Here they are comparing the brexit voters to trump supporters and I believe they are right,educated ,uneducated,cities and rural areas different views.i just hope it does not end up the same result.

The FTSE 100 Index saw more than £120bn wiped off the value of its constituent companies in the first few minutes of trading after the UK voted to quit the EU.
It was one of the biggest falls in the index's 32-year history, as it dropped by around 500 points, or more than 7% - and came after the pound hit a 31-year low against the US dollar overnight.
A number of companies saw 20% or more wiped off their values, with Wickes owner and builders' merchant Travis Perkins and Dixons Carphone down 30% in early trading.
Banks were badly hit, with state-backed Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group, as well as Barclays, off by more than 20%. Household name retailers such as Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Sainsbury's shed more than 10%.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!
