The vote to Leave was mainly a protest vote. It was the vote of people who hated “Brussels” and the European Union, but hated London and the international financial system just as much. The black irony of this is that it is precisely the social category of working-class protest voters who are likely to suffer when Britain loses the privileged access it currently has to the EU’s Single Market. http://carnegie.ru/commentary/?fa=63904&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkRjd05qSTNORFV6TkRSbCIsInQiOiIrTTcrZnFQK3ZhSHJDVHpLSWdHc2Z6SDhzOFZRd1RDY1crU2ZEOXBrd29PXC9wT3Z0OE9vNENPZlFEalgwK0g1ekpTYWdkQ2ZYeEEzVjc3T3cxc1ZMMVwvcCs1aWtaTEtCN3ZMemQyNzlUZTVNPSJ9
