The way this quiz is set out gives a heavily anti Brexit feel. Disappointing.

Is something in the quiz not factual?

The current position of the country according to yougov is that 53% think Brexit has been overall negative and only 15% think it has been overall positive. So if the quiz feels negative towards Brexit, I guess it's reflecting the reality of Brexit just as you put it...

"Disappointing."
