The reason is called "stupidity" then in such example. The aftereffect is "living with consequences of one's decisions".
How the hell could any adult vote on something so important without doing his own research. "I didn't know" is such a weak excuse.

He said Europe, not EU
It really does, it is the argument that UKIP have been using for years and that you do not know that is evidence that you should be commenting in a thread about Brexit.
The EU and UK are interwoven so closely that the EU will collapse if the UK does. Greece was nothing compared to the damage the UK can do and the EU will not take the chance of not coming to a deal that is acceptable to the UK.No it can't; not without collapsing itself. The EU really does not need the UK.
I hope you realize that some of those immigrants have been waiting there for years because the French had to keep them there, so 2 years is just not going to matter, eventually they will live their dream and march into the UK uncontrolled. No EU membership = none of your neighbours are bound to hold migrants from entering anymore.
The real stupidity is assuming that an immediate shock reaction in the markets defines a new normal less than 12 hours after the results became known. That's just opportunism pitched at people who don't actually know much about business or economics. Sorry, Remainers, the British people will not in fact be eating out of the garbage forever because you lost.
Listening to Farage does not constitute "research". Watching a couple of "debates" on TV, doesn't constitute research.
Anyone with half a brain knew that the 350 million figure being thrown around was wrong, and if anyone, and I mean literally anyone, didn't think the pound would drop, then they are retarded, and there's no other way to put that.
If you've been suckered in by propaganda, then you deserve everything that coming.
Yes, mostly the understanding that it's necessary, self-driving, and entirely predictable; and therefore manageable in a growing economy - which we have. Denial of those things, and the promises of 'control' that shouldn't be, and can't be kept, allow them to be a convenient scapegoat with no power to vote you out.
But largely they're costs that must be paid to reach the standards required if those companies want to trade within the rest of the EU - something that won't change by leaving the EU. It's only really a negative for companies that solely want to trade domestically or with non-EU countries. Even there, I don't see how a race to the bottom in standards of health, safety, and consumer protections is actually a good thing more generally, for the benefits of a handful of small businesses.It is a British thing, it does not bother me particularly apart from a couple of bits, but it creates costs internally that some businesses are unhappy with.
Why Farage chose to lie about the NHS is an enigma to me. I don't know a whole lot about internal British politics, but isn't the NHS considered a national treasure?
The EU now has 1GB of free space.
Instead of addressing the issues behind the growing annoyance with the EU in lots of its members, not only Britain, such as:
- The disfunctional quazi government in Brussels
- Numerous continuous attacks on national sovereignity of the members
- Failed and non-existent leadership
- Failing to protect the interests of the EU in favor of the interests of other countries
- Putting the interests of immigrants over the interests of the citizens
- Building up a stupid system where nothing gets done, and no hard and tough decisions are made, while the beaureaucratic apparatus is growing and growing in Bruxelles
- Trying to support a bullshit system where Lithuania can be considered as important as Britain or Germany
- Bending the rules of the initial agreement just to bring new countries in
- and so on and so weiter.
The EU should have stopped at the borders of Germany and Austria, and shouldn't have moved further to the east for another 30-40 years. It hasn't, and it is now suffering because of that.
The EU as a whole, and the governments of the separate countries should have had the interests of their people, their countries and the Union protected, not the interests of the US.
The EU was supposed to become a center of a new world, without the major superpowers, instead it became a lapdog of one of those.
And in the end instead of starting a discussion to find a common ground, to make the Union change - they try to scare people into staying by the old "Russia is at the door" story, and "you will have to suffer if you leave" threat.
No wonder Britain voted the way it did.
