Re: Brexit bollocks

"half the population, who voted the other way" makes syntactic sense,

"half the population who voted, the other way" does not - it's missing a verb, "the other way" makes no sense as a clause, but "voted the other way" does.

It's pretty clear just from the syntax that the second interpretation isn't what was meant.
