3. Though most of the United Kingdom was fast asleep when the results of last week’s referendum vote were finally announced, 26-year-old Emma Clarke and her partner were wide awake.
“We couldn’t sleep,” Clarke told Yahoo News. So they stayed up to watch the historic news unfold in real time.
“I just felt absolutely gutted,” she says, adding that while “part of me was shocked … another part wasn’t.”
Clarke, who is originally from Manchester, has lived in the West Yorkshire city of Leeds since she moved there for university in 2008. She is now a business consultant at an international software company, and the mother of a 4-month-old girl.
In the months leading up to the vote, Clarke says she was worried that not enough of her peers were engaged in the issue, and feared that if young people didn’t turn out to vote, the Brexit would prevail.
“A few of my friends were openly confused about how to vote due to lack of facts being reported in the media, and posted asking for people to share information they had gathered to help them decide,” she says.
Google Trends reported Friday that the top searched question by U.K. users in the previous 24 hours was “What does it mean to leave the EU?”
