Amps Does anybody know any proper Brexiters? If so, what is their take on it so far?
I know quite a few, I’d say about 25% of people I ever discuss politics with.
To me, the economic arguments are fairly conclusively in Remain’s favour.
Almost all the Brexiters I know (who are probably generally more educated than the average Brexiter) came down in favour of Leave on the basis of sovereignty/accountability/'how do we remove these bastards when they don’t act in our interests?(at least you can remove a Westminster government)', which to me is quite a reasonable argument. They stand by that, mostly, while accepting the economic effects were worse than they’d hoped they would be. I think they did in most cases, genuinely believe that the EU would have to bend over backwards to accommodate us, though, (one person I know said “the economy will be fine, when it comes down to it the German car-makers will make sure there’s a good deal”, parroting a line of many deluded leavers) and have had a rude awakening in this regard.
