After the British people voted to cast off the shackles of the European Union, something strange happened.
Yes, the markets tumbled and leftists charged that the vote was all about xenophobia, but those things were predictable.
What was surprising was the questions the people of the United Kingdom were Googling after the historic vote.
According to Google Trends the number one question on the EU from UK searchers was “What does it mean to leave the EU?”
Most shocking of all was the second most popular question, “What is the EU?”

Here are some other top trends on Google since the vote occurred.
