In the aftermath of the historic British vote to leave the EU, openDemocracy is asking for our readers' thoughts on Brexit and what needs to happen next in 350 words. We've had an extraordinary response and you can read them all here.
The EU Referendum results last week came as a surprise to many. Polling had been fairly close throughout, but a poll taken the day before the vote showed a four-point lead for the Remain camp. Bookies were even more confident. There were odds of up to 80% for Remain prevailing.
The pollsters, pundits, and bookies got it wrong. 52% voted Leave. The poor predictions were down to flaws in methodology, and a misunderstanding of the political landscape.
