What the British were looking for in Google on the day of the referendum – Politics

The British, which the European Union is not the way, won a small but significant advantage of 52 to 48 percent. votes. Thus Brexit. Prior to the resignation of David Cameron, the turmoil in Europe and unrest on stock exchanges. The referendum theoretically anything yet does not prejudge, but the chances that parliamentarians will advance against the will of the people, seem slim. Oh, the power of democracy. Brussels already is, moreover, ready to open the process of divorce.

The British for decades did not take such an important, pre-empting the future of the country (and continent) decision – thunders observers. It was treated motivating – and some of it worked. But not everyone, of course, felt the weight of responsibility. It is hard to expect that the average citizen will be the urn still weighed arguments and fought with his thoughts. It can begin now, post factum?

It is easy in our day to expose the weakness of democracy – just look to Google. Interesting phrase record on the British browser shortly after the polls closed. Frequently asked: “What does it mean that he was leaving the European Union?”. .com To see slowly reaches a binding decision was made. They want to know where they are going, what price to pay, which will lose and gain. The phrase “what happens when we leave the EU” inscribed 250 percent. more than before the referendum. Understandable.

The second most frequently asked question is a bit more surprising. “What is the EU?” – Wondered at first the Irish, then the Welsh, British and Scots. Questions have soared in the statistics of Google Trends after the vote. Irish and Scots checked yet, what is this Brexit. We are at the end of this Union or not? – Inquiry. It’s a little late to make up for gaps in basic knowledge.

In recent months the opportunity to know the answers, it was a lot. There have been discussions, political, economic and social consequences Brexitu reworked in all ways, experts of various provenance. Except that in the UK experts not particularly up honors. Question to remain in the EU or leave it boiled down to a single, burning issues such as immigration. Other effects Brexitu did not play such a role – now likely to start.

Besides, in Poland and interest consequences Brexitu – the position of the zloty, the stability of our economy, especially the UK, the Polish government has anointed as our strategic ally – grows only now, after fact.

by the way Londoners – tells Google – checked today, in addition, how to move to Gibraltar. The phrase “Move it Gibraltar” he jumped in the statistics as much as 680 percent. Gibraltar, as in London City, won the faction opponents Brexitu. If you run away somewhere now, it’s just there. Whoever put on Brexit and now regrets – well, maybe had previously look to Google.
