      I don't think he is necessarily condemning the result of the referendum as a result of people's lack of intelligence or not being 'clever enough'. A common misconception about democracy is that it means whether the vote of the people is carried out. However, whilst this is a core democratic principle, democracy is also dependent on people having access to independent information (this was not the case with the 'Leave' campaign e.g the pledge that £350 million would go to the NHS , which the following day Farage stated was 'one of the mistakes' he thought that the 'Leave campaign' had made, despite being an integral figurehead of the Leave campaign.) Albarn also mentions in this interview how significant he perceives education to be, adding to this idea that he perhaps is not frustrated towards the people who voted but towards the politicians in power who acted in an undemocratic manner by misinforming millions of people, as well as the referendum lacking accountability.

    The zeitgeist shift of the last few years is astounding. Just how completely left behind and out of the loop these guys are compared to their respective eras of cultural reference. I don't think they mean any harm. They just have no clue whatsoever about what is happening in the west right now. I don't think music and politics ever mixed too well beyond anti war songs for peace etc. Musicians are meant to be emotional people who inspire feeling. They then can't be blamed for building philosophies on empathy and feeling. Which never amounts to anything much. These guys are way off the mark. Sad to see.

People are adults, they knew what they were voting for. They knew the disruption Brexit would cause but still thought it was worth it to be out. The Brexit limbo is causing the current problems anyway, not Brexit. If we had left years ago as the result we would be on the rise again by now. But the main parties will never carry out Brexit because they are just establishment puppets.
