Im talking about weeks prior to the vote. Leave vote was leading in several polls, but still quoted 1.5 on here.

Sharp minds beaten by dullards on this occasion, sadly.

Psychological factors.

Conformity, misplaced consistency, emotion, ignoring the evidence, groupism (the metropolitan London elite), making the wrong connections, mistaking the cause, misinterpreting the evidence, overconfidence/arrogance.

How much did you lose, crags?

I could not believe the odds - as in 4 months of discussing the Referendum with pals, associates, people in the pub, I had NOT met ONE person who was in favour of Remain.

I read it that the media were in their usual London and South-East bubble mode - as were most of the pollsters.

Started LAYING Remain at 1.27 three weeks before the vote - and kept on laying - I even Laid 1.09 during Voting day.
