> Why is the parent comment being downvoted?

Probably by people not reading it and having a kneejerk Brexit-related response.

Or maybe reading it and not getting taken by spin and misinformation

I was being genuinely honest asking why there was downvotes.

The words I read were what I already believed to be true and indeed would've written myself - and if it wasn't true I'd want to know.

Feel free to point out the spin and misinformation, instead of drive-by downvoting.
