Brexot was a non-binding vote meant to galvanize the UK against the idea of financial insecurity and rally around the diversity angle, and the Home Office significantly underestimated how much Brits in underclass neighbourhoods felt they were unrepresented by that government. The vote divide was almost entirely along class lines without much exception of appreciable note. For instance, if you remove the upper middle class and upper class communities in Edinburgh, what was previously a "remain stronghold" becomes almost unaminously against the EU.

They thought the disaffected people in the UK were a vocal minority. They were very wrong, and Id argue that the reason the vote was close to begin with was that the government spent a lot of money to coerce people. The Remain campaign was pretty much literally bullying.

More and more I find myself in the minority for saying "be kind to your fellows, even if you disagree" during Brexit and 'my side' and that's...just sad, to be honest.

I always find this sorta stuff interesting. Like how with the major political parties, Labour has younger people, and the working class. Consevatives have older people, and the upper class. In terms of majorities.
