Brexiteers have responded with fury to a new study claiming Britons who voted to leave the EU are less intelligent than those who voted to remain.<\/p>\n
The largest of its kind, Understanding Society is a longitudinal UK household study with the aim of “capturing life in the UK in the 21st century”.<\/p>\n
Academics at the University of Bath analysed 3,183 couples involved in the study, which recently added questions about how people voted in the 2016 referendum.<\/p>\n
Among those surveyed for the research in the top 10 percent by a cognitive performance metric, 73 percent voted to remain in the EU. And in the bottom 10 percent by the same measure, only 40 percent did.<\/p>\n
Reclaim MP Andrew Bridgen argued the study demonstrated evidence of \u201cindoctrination of younger people\u201d, pointing to the fact the \u201colder and wiser\u201d in our society tended to vote Leave.<\/p>\n

The Brexiteer told Express.co.uk: \u201cThis like so much in the legacy media is what they would like to be true and what they want you to believe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt may be true that people who are more \u2018educated\u2019 had a propensity to vote Remain at the referendum, but that is more down to indoctrination than any measure of intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a fact that people of high intelligence \u2018free and critical thinkers\u2019 are often the ones who challenge the \u2018official narrative\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging that in 2016 such individuals were still in the majority slightly. I hope given the many false narratives pushed to the public since the referendum, this remains the case today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe older and wiser in our society tended to vote to leave the younger and more indoctrinated tended to vote to remain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the current narratives unravel as they shortly will, it will be interesting who is actually regarded as the wiser and more educated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking about the study on GB News, comedian Leo Kearse said: \u201cIt\u2019s like what like the Remain campaign did saying, \u2018Oh the car production will drop by point eight percent over seven years if you take it to the third quarter\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody cares, brainiac! I don’t want some Belgian nerd telling me what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the study appearing to find a link between intelligence and voting intention, a scientist warned it was difficult to establish a causal relationship.<\/p>\n
Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of statistics at the Open University, said the research cannot establish that those who were less intelligent were more likely to vote for Brexit.<\/p>\n
