The research, published in PLOS ONE, used a nationally representative sample of 6,366 individuals from 3,183 heterosexual couples collected as part of a large survey called Understanding Society. They found that, of the people with the lowest cognitive ability, only 40% voted Remain, whereas 73% of those with the highest cognitive ability voted Remain.

Cagefuel. You can now determine the IQ of a British person by whether they voted to remain or leave.

The separation of remainers and leavers shows the beginning of a caste system. I predict that the IQ gap between leavers and remainers will get bigger over time.
