I am not sure there is a 1:1 relationship between education and intelligence. There is always an amount of stupid people with degrees.
The work brexiter wanted more democracy but voting for brexit cos "at least we only have our own politicians" comes from someone with a master's degree in physics...
So as Oliver says: There is also ignorance.
And then a lot of people have been encouraged to vote on feelings.
Leave complaint about "project fear" while encouraging fear about Turkish immigrants comes to mind.
Anger about austerity (which is ideological driven kill the poor policy) directed towards leaving the EU to "give Westminster a bloody nose" while Westminster would implement Brexit...
Strong hate/anger feelings = less thinking.
