"Educated" and "informed" aren't the same.
No it doesn't, democracy means rule by all the people not rule by some educated elite.
"Educated" and "informed" aren't the same.
Two things:
- Education is not "elite", it's open to all.
- Informed is not "educated".
Forcing political speech to be truthful (or at least have a reasonable expectation of being truthful) with serious consequences (jail time) for knowingly lying would go a long way to counter the misinformation that caused Brexit.
