17.4 million people voted to leave. If the reality of the effects of leaving had been known to them would they have still voted that way?

They were told that there was no downside to leaving by the leave campaign. Had the leave campaign admitted there would be short term disruption but insisted it would be sorted quickly it is not impossible the 700,000 necessary to alter the result would have voted differently: it does not need all 17.4 million to reconsider.

(I am still waiting for any Leaver to clarify how long short term might be. I.e. how many weeks or months before the disruption is sorted. Silence reigns)
