But evidently not in an unappealing enough way.
The leave campaign was effective by playing on people's prejudices and offering a wonderful alternative (and lies). Stay just had 'it'll be worse if we're out'. Which if you're having a shit time at the moment you want a change.
It would be interesting to know how the vote would have gone if done before any campaigns.
That you describe the experts as "patiently explaining it all" is exactly the problem, talking down to leavers as if they are children.
