The British Are Frantically Googling What The E.U. Is, Hours After Voting by 2sexycom(m): 1:25am On Jun 25, 2016
The whole world is reeling after a milestone referendum in Britain to leave the European Union. And although leaders of the campaign to exit Europe are crowing over their victory, it seems many Britons may not even know what they had actually voted for.

The consequences of the leave vote will be felt worldwide, even here in the United States, and some British voters say they now regret casting a ballot in favor of Brexit.

Google reported sharp upticks in searches not only related to the ballot measure but also about basic questions concerning the implications of the vote.
