most Brexit supporters I have talked to believe in the world as a zero-sum game.
I think it's important to recognise that due to this lack of investment in education, social cohesion and social mobility, globalisation has affected some communities (ie. outside of London) far more than others. And people just don't want to live on handouts as it is dehumanising.
Despite all of this, i've consistently said (not here yet TBF but elsewhere): Brexit is probably not going to happen. On the off chance that I'm wrong and the UK chooses a hard brexit, I think there'll be anarchy (not the good sort, but mad max style barbarism) inside 3 months, mainly as a result of resource scarcity (food, fuel, medicines). The government knows this, which is why I'm not convinced that the UK will exit the EU.
