No chance we could drop terms like 'urban politics' is there?
It's got the same built-in prejudice and plain factual inaccuracy as calling everyone who voted for Brexit a racist.
A bunch of urban people in east London voted for Brexit. A bunch of piss poor Glaswegian voted for remain. The idea that we legitimise or discount a perspective by tracing it to its geographical source sucks arse.

If Cameron's successor didn't enact article 50 (for the winner of the next general election to act on) then this would rightly be called out as undemocratic. Trying to get out of leaving on a technicality would be a stitch up and rocket fuel to nationalists.
Many leave votes were cast in frustration at being ignored by westminster and urban politics. Don't prove them right.
