EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

The point I’m making here is this:

1. We more or less know generally why many segments of society are disillusioned, marginalised and relatively worse off. Lack of investment in developing a society with relevant skills and creating a society in which people feel economically useful, combined with closing existing industries has created a society where the economic power is in london and services. Most people have no access to this economy because they aren’t sufficiently skilled. Add to this a lack of social investment (closing youth clubs etc) so people have less incentive for (or understanding of the benefits of) civic engagement and social collective responsibility.
   
2. We know the cause is generally at the feet of the Tories, though labour under Blair participated and so are responsible
   
3. We also know why we had a referendum - again caused by Tories (trying to save their skin from the threat of UKIP)
   
4. And we know that Brexit negotiations (if you can even call them that) have been a disaster, again Tory caused chaos.
   
   

So the only bit we don’t know is why people voted for Brexit. The reason we don’t know is
A. It doesn’t appear objectively rational
B. It wasn’t along party lines
C. There is no obvious cause and effect.

But to call those that voted for Brexit “Gammons”, “racist Tory cunts” and “thick”
just exposes the same (or worse) prejudices that Remainers object to in Leavers. Sure, a few are racist. But Leavers can’t have their cake and eat it either. You can’t accept point 1 above and then say to those people “you’re just a thick racist Tory cunt”.

Leavers (both Tory and Labour) voted as they did because they don’t see a scenario in which globalisation, post-Industralisation and a knowledge based economy benefits them, in fact it puts them in greater servitude.

So, again, unless we solve this problem we are no further forward, Brexit or not.
