Chalk up a victory for ill-education and ignorance, for nationalism (and all the racist/far right elements than love nationalism), for divisiveness, fragmentation and scape-goating.
The dumb fecks - though they realise it not - have just voted for the breakup of the UK, for the renewal of terrorism and conflict in Northern Ireland, for the encouragements of far-right groupings across Europe, and for the possible longer-term prospect of the collapse of the key institution - the EU - that was originally and mainly brought into being to make impossible ever again the outbreak of war within Europe.
The EU as an institution played its part though. It is guilty of massive overreach and arrogance. The UK signed up for a common market not a political union which is now heading towards a superstate.
The EU has ignored democracy too many times and thought it was untouchable. It shoulders a good deal of the blame IMO.
