The result of the UK referendum on proportional voting ... it was obvious which choice made more sense, didn't require much in terms of critical thinking, and the campaign against changing from FTTP was so obviously BS propaganda.

And that was how I learned that most people are absolute fucking morons.

After that Brexit, Trump, Boris Johnson, Trump again, etc etc, came as little surprise.

People consistently vote against proportional voting systems it seems. We have had 3 referendums on the topic in my area and it failed each time.
