The world woke up on June 24th to the surprising news that the Leave campaign had won, and a Brexit was indeed happening. 

With 51.9% of the vote, the Remain camp came out second in a close contest, but it seems that the discussion over the issues at stake in the vote have left some people confused as to exactly what the vote was about.
