&gt; That confusion over what Brexit might mean for the country&#x27;s economy appears to have been reflected across the United Kingdom on Thursday. Google reported sharp upticks in searches not only related to the ballot measure but also about basic questions concerning the implications of the vote. At about 1 a.m. Eastern time, about eight hours after the polls closed, Google reported that searches for &quot;what happens if we leave the EU&quot; had more than tripled.<p>For fucks sake.<p>Cameron should have run a dual referendum:<p>1) Should the UK stay in the EU, or leave the EU?<p>2) Do you have confidence in me as PM?<p>That would have allowed people to give him a kicking while also voting stay.
